Arabic phonetics has been part of the study of Arabic language since the 7 th century CE. The great works by Al-Khali:l, "Kita:b al-'Ayn", and Si:bawayh, author of the first Arabic grammar book "al-kita:b" (i.e., "The Book") are the two cornerstones of this field. The early Arab grammarians knew phonetics quite well, although they mixed it with phonology, but interest in phonetics has remained ...

In literary histories written in both Iran and the West it has generally be assumed that early modern Persian literary works are (technically inferior) copies of Western literary works. This has been and is still a claim. Almost no academically and scientifically sound works has substantiated this claim. While there is no point in denying a European influence on early modern Persian literature,...

We propose a machine learning method for recognizing modern Arabic poems based on the common poetic features of modern Arabic poetry. The poetic features include: rhyming, repetition, use of diacritics and punctuations, and text alignment. The method can classify text documents as poem or non-poem documents with a very high accuracy of 99.81%.

This paper introduces a dual-mode stochastic system to automatically identify linguistic code switch points in Arabic. The first of these modes determines the most likely word tag (i.e. dialect or modern standard Arabic) by choosing the sequence of Arabic word tags with maximum marginal probability via lattice search and 5-gram probability estimation. When words are out of vocabulary, the syste...

Two hundred venirepersons from the 12th Judicial Circuit in Bradenton, Florida completed the following measures: (1) one question that measured their level of support for the death penalty; (2) one question that categorized their death-qualification status; (3) 23 questions that measured their attitudes toward the death penalty (ATDP); (4) 22 questions that assessed their attitudes toward women...

In order to construct a generic grammatical resource for Arabic language, we have chosen to develop an Arabic grammar based on TAG formalism. Our choice is, especially, justified by complementarities that we have noticed between Arabic syntax and this grammatical formalism. This paper consists of two comparative studies. The first is between a set of unification grammars. The second is between ...

Text classification is the process of assigning a text or a document to various predefined classes or categories to reflect their contents. With the rapid growth of Arabic text on the Web, studies that address the problems of classification and segmentation of the Arabic language are limited compared to other languages, most of which implement word-based and feature extraction algorithms. This ...

Arabic Grammar, Arabic Upper Model, Arabic Gemeration. Arabic has had wellestablished theoretical studies for more than 1000 years. However, If Arabic is compared with other languages, it has received much less modern computational interest. The aim of this research work is to try to make use of some of the Arabic linguistic theories and adapt them to be used in machine processing. To start wit...
