The Quranic Arabic Corpus (http://corpus.quran.com) is an annotated linguistic resource with multiple layers of annotation including morphological segmentation, part-of-speech tagging, and syntactic analysis using dependency grammar. The motivation behind this work is to produce a resource that enables further analysis of the Quran, the 1,400 year old central religious text of Islam. This paper...

Corver & Van Koppen (2011) argue that the inflection appearing on adjectival endings in Dutch and its dialects is actually an instance of a weak indefinite pronoun resembling English one. One of the arguments in support of this idea comes from the behavior of the apparent adjectival inflection in certain NPE-cases in which there is no overt inflection on the adjective. However, if ellipsis of t...

We develop a framework for using the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) to parse Quranic Arabic sentences. This framework supports the construction of a treebank for the Holy Quran. The proposed model succeeds in parsing different Quranic chapters (Suras) in addition to Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) sentences. The availability of such parser will be useful in various natural language processing app...

The number of Free Online Machine Translation (FOMT) users witnessed a spectacular growth since 1994. FOMT systems change the aspects of machine translation (MT) and the mass translated materials using a wide range of natural languages and machine translation systems. Hundreds of millions of people use these FOMT systems to translate the holy Quran (Al-Qurʾān) verses from the Arabic language to...

C be the normalization of Γ . Let g = (d− 1)(d− 2) 2 − δ; the genus of C. We identify smooth points of Γ with the corresponding points on C. In particular, if P is a smooth point on Γ then the Weierstrass gap sequence at P is considered with respect to C. A smooth point P ∈ Γ is called an (e − 2)-inflection point if i(Γ, T ;P ) = e ≥ 3 where T is the tangent line to Γ at P (cf. Brieskorn–Knörre...

Recitation of the Holy Quran with Tajweed is an essential activity as a Muslim. Reciting Quran correctly indicates the correct meaning of the words of Allah has been received from this significant resource among Muslims. That is why Muslims stress on the Quranic Education since in the early age. It is important to pronounce the letter correctly based on its characteristics as well as the articu...

In this paper we present a new computationally efficient algorithm for inducing context-free grammars that is able to learn from positive sample sentences. This new algorithm uses simplicity as a criterion for directing inference, and the search process of the new algorithm has been optimised by utilising the results of a theoretical analysis regarding the behaviour and complexity of the search...

The Quranic Arabic Corpus (http://corpus.quran.com) is a collaboratively constructed linguistic resource initiated at the University of Leeds, with multiple layers of annotation including part-of-speech tagging, morphological segmentation (Dukes & Habash, 2010) and syntactic analysis using dependency grammar (Dukes & Buckwalter, 2010). The motivation behind this work is to produce a resource th...
