The language-learning environments of children growing up bilingual are highly variable. For speech and language therapists (SLTs), understanding the features these can enhance quality services. In New Zealand (NZ), learning for in Arabic-speaking families largely unresearched. Participants from 85 living NZ completed an online survey (with each participant representing one family). collected i...

Empirical evidence for statistical learning comes from artificial language tasks, but it is unclear how these effects scale up outside of the lab. The current study turns to a real-world test case of statistical learning where native English speakers encounter the syntactic regularities of Arabic through memorization of the Qur'an. This unique input provides extended exposure to the complexity ...

We investigate the problem of learning a part-of-speech (POS) lexicon for a resource-poor language, dialectal Arabic. Developing a high-quality lexicon is often the first step towards building a POS tagger, which is in turn the front-end to many NLP systems. We frame the lexicon acquisition problem as a transductive learning problem, and perform comparisons on three transductive algorithms: Tra...

About 80 percent of the world's Muslim populations are non-native speakers of Arabic language. Since it is obligatory for all Muslims to recite the Qur'an in Arabic during regular prayers, an extraordinary social phenomenon has taken place in some parts of the Muslim world: in schools, children are only taught the complex phonetic rules of the Arabic language in the context of the Qur'an. This ...

Arabic is a Semitic language that is rich in its morphology and syntax. The very numerous and complex grammar rules of the language could be confusing even for Arabic native speakers. Many Arabic intelligent computerassisted language-learning (ICALL) systems have neither deep error analysis nor sophisticated error handling. In this paper, we report an attempt at developing an error analyzer and...

This paper describes a novel Arabic Reading Enhancement Tool (ARET) for classroom use, which has been built using corpus-based Natural Language Processing in combination with expert linguistic annotation. The NLP techniques include a widely used morphological analyzer for Modern Standard Arabic to provide word-level grammatical details, and a relational database index of corpus texts to provide...

Learning is a process/effort/activity carried out by the individual to obtain change in personality or behavior.
