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...

Machine simulation of human reading has been the subject of intensive research for almost three decades. A large number of research papers and reports have already been published on Latin, Chinese and Japanese characters. However, little work has been conducted on the automatic recognition of Arabic in both on-line and o!-line, has been achieved towards the automatic recognition of Arabic chara...

In the past several years, Arabic Information Retrieval (IR) has garnered significant attention. The main research interests have focused on retrieval of formal language, mostly in the news domain, with ad hoc retrieval, OCR document retrieval, and cross-language retrieval. The literature on other aspects of retrieval continues to be sparse or non-existent, though some of these aspects have bee...

As a means of communication between speakers different linguistic backgrounds, translation activities can be implemented across other human domains, including legal texts. Attempts have been made by various researchers to clearly articulate the strategies for translating texts into another language, describing challenges, and offering solutions. In many cases, discourse originating language cul...

Most tools and resources developed for natural language processing of Arabic are designed for Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and perform terribly on Arabic dialects, such as Egyptian Arabic. Egyptian Arabic differs from MSA phonologically, morphologically and lexically and has no standardized orthography. We present a linguistically accurate, large-scale morphological analyzer for Egyptian Arabic...

Subtitling is a challenging task making subtitlers use precise strategies to improve the quality of subtitles. This paper aims at identifying subtitling employed in culture-bound terms Jordanian movie entitled “Theeb” and assessing translation such terms. The dialect used this Bedouin Arabic. So, translator faced two dilemmas: (1) Understanding Jordanian-Arabic understanding dimensions features...

reaching a considerable growth in terms of rhetoric, eloquence, and semantic richness of words or terms, the arabic language was ready in the pre-islamic period to receive the divine revelation. on the other hand, the qur’an (as the word of allah) with its sublime meanings and boundless scientific facts had to be revealed in the arabic language in such a way that it would succeed in duly commun...

This book provides system developers and researchers in natural language processing and computational linguistics with the necessary background information for working with the Arabic language. The goal is to introduce Arabic linguistic phenomena and review the state-of-the-art in Arabic processing. The book discusses Arabic script, phonology, orthography, morphology, syntax and semantics, with...

This paper introduces a recently initiated project that focuses on building a lexical resource for Modern Standard Arabic based on the widely used Princeton WordNet for English (Fellbaum, 1998). Our aim is to develop a linguistic resource with a deep formal semantic foundation in order to capture the richness of Arabic as described in Elkateb (2005). Arabic WordNet is being constructed followin...
