Opis:
This draft is an attempt to group and analyze the content of maxims, expressions, utterances, phrases, aphorisms and formulations which refer – directly or indirectly – to agriculture and raising animals as well as to the widely understood traditions and the culture of feeding among the inhabitants of the two ancient Assyrian towns in southeastern Turkey: Āzaẖ and Mārdīn. This type of folk prose is very popular in the Middle East. Even though the procurement of food and the preparation of meals belong likely to the most important human cares and take most of the time particularly of the populations living in villages, the group of proverbs concerning the analyzed topic in each collection is only about 8% of the total.

Opis:
This paper aims at identifying the most common constructions that realise metaphor in a group of commonly used Jordanian Arabic proverbs. The metaphorical instances in the data were identified using the Metaphor Identification Procedure (cf. Pragglejaz Group 2007). The analysis of the data focused on the form of the linguistic metaphors in Jordanian proverbs as this aspect of analysis has been paid less attention for favour of idea-content aspect of metaphors since Aristotle. It was found that metaphor is mainly realised by the constructions: genitive, grammatical metaphor, post-modification, pre-modification, and sentence metaphor. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data showed that the most common types of metaphor realization were sentence metaphor and grammatical metaphor. A future paper with a larger size of data might show further constructions that realise metaphor in Jordanian Arabic.
Der vorliegende Aufsatz verfolgt das Ziel, die häufigsten Konstruktionen zu identifizieren, die in einer Gruppe allgemein gebräuchlicher Sprichwörter der jordanischen arabischen Metaphern realisieren können. Die metaphorischen Instanzen der Datenbasis wurden unter Zuhilfenahme des von der Pragglejaz Gruppe entwickelten Metaphernidentifizierungsverfahrens identifiziert (vgl. Pragglejaz Group 2007). Die Analyse der Daten fokussierte auf die Form der sprachlichen Metaphern unter den jordanischen Sprichwörtern, zumal diesem Untersuchungsaspekt bisher weniger Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wurde, als der seit Aristoteles bevorzugten Ideen- und Inhaltsseite der Metapher. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Metaphern hauptsächlich durch die folgenden Konstruktionen realisiert wurden: Genitive, grammatische Metaphern, Postmodifikationen, Prämodifikationen sowie Satzmetaphern. Eine Folgestudie anhand eines größeren Datensets könnte weitere metaphernträchtige Konstruktionen ans Licht bringen.

Opis:
This paper investigates the impact of bilingualism on the difficulties of pronunciation for both L1 (Arabic) and L2 (English). It assesses the production of stop sounds in Arabic and English through an acoustic analysis of stops' closure duration (henceforth CD), as pronounced by Arabic-English bilinguals whose L1 is Palestinian Arabic. Additionally, the paper aims to highlight the difficulties of pronunciation in both languages. Three groups of same aged adult subjects participated in the production tests; 1) Arabic-English bilinguals whose L1 is Palestinian Arabic, 2) Arabic-monolinguals, and 3) English-monolinguals. The stops in word-medial and final positions were included in closed syllables (CVC) in meaningful words inserted in carrier sentences. The results revealed that the CD of the interaction of stops was represented in four categories; 1) unidirectional effect of L1 on L2 that caused a foreign accent, 2) bidirectional influence resulting in L1-L2 interference, 3) unidirectional impact of L2 on L1, and 4) nativelikeness in both languages without language interference. In addition, the findings showed that bilinguals faced pronunciation challenges in both similar and dissimilar sounds. This paper is expected to initiate more comprehensive studies in the field of interaction between Arabic and English in the Arabic context.

Opis:
This work proposes a segmentation-free approach to Arabic Handwritten Text Recog-nition (AHTR): an attention-based Convolutional Neural Network - Recurrent Neural Network - Con-nectionist Temporal Classification (CNN-RNN-CTC) deep learning architecture. The model receives asinput an image and provides, through a CNN, a sequence of essential features, which are transferred toan Attention-based Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Network (BLSTM). The BLSTM gives features sequence in order, and the attention mechanism allows the selection of relevant information from the features sequences. The selected information is then fed to the CTC, enabling the loss calculation and the transcription prediction. The contribution lies in extending the CNN by dropout layers, batch normalization, and dropout regularization parameters to prevent over-fitting. The output of the RNN block is passed through an attention mechanism to utilize the most relevant parts of the input sequence in a flexible manner. This solution enhances previous methods by improving the CNN speed and performance and controlling over model over-fitting. The proposed system achieves the best accuracy of97.1% for the IFN-ENIT Arabic script database, which competes with the current state-of-the-art. It was also tested for the modern English handwriting of the IAM database, and the Character Error Rate of 2.9% is attained, which confirms the model’s script independence.

Opis:
Natural Language Inference (NLI) is a hot topic research in natural language processing, contradiction detection between sentences is a special case of NLI. This is considered a difficult NLP task which has a significant influence when added as a component in many NLP applications (such as question answering systems and text summarization). The Arabic language is one of the most challenging low-resources languages for detecting contradictions due to its rich lexical semantics ambiguity. We have created a data set of more than 12k sentences and named it ArNLI; it will be publicly available. Moreover, we have applied a new model that was inspired by Stanford's proposed contradiction-detection solutions for the English language. We proposed an approach for detecting contradictions between pairs of sentences in the Arabic language using a contradiction vector combined with a language model vector as an input to a machine-learning model. We analyzed the results of different traditional machine-learning classifiers and compared their results on our created data set (ArNLI) and on the automatic translation of both the PHEME and SICK English data sets. The best results were achieved by using the random forest classifier, with accuracies of 0.99, 0.60 and 0.75 on PHEME, SICK, and ArNLI respectively.

This article reports on second language perception of non-native contrasts. The study specifically tests the perceptual assimilation model (PAM) by examining American learners’ ability to discriminate Arabic contrasts. Twenty two native American speakers enrolled in a university level Arabic language program took part in a forced choice AXB discrimination task. Results of the study provide partial evidence for PAM. Only two-category contrasts followed straightforwardly from PAM; discrimination results of category-goodness difference and both uncategorizable contrasts yielded partial support, while results of uncategorized versus categorized contrast discrimination provided counter-evidence to PAM.

Opis:
Speech segmentation is the process of dividing speech signal into distinct acoustic blocks that could be words, syllables or phonemes. Phonetic segmentation is about finding the exact boundaries for the different phonemes that composes a specific speech signal. This problem is crucial for many applications, i.e. automatic speech recognition (ASR). In this paper we propose a new model-based text independent phonetic segmentation method based on wavelet packet speech parametrization features and using the sparse representation classifier (SRC). Experiments were performed on two datasets, the first is an English one derived from TIMIT corpus, while the second is an Arabic one derived from the Arabic speech corpus. Results showed that the proposed wavelet packet decomposition features outperform the MFCC features in speech segmentation task, in terms of both F1-score and R-measure on both datasets. Results also indicate that the SRC gives higher hit rate than the famous k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) classifier on TIMIT dataset.

Opis:
The current study is dedicated to measuring vowel temporal acoustics (duration, durational difference, and durational ratio) in the medial position of mostly CVCVCV polysyllabic words in Arabic and Japanese, avoiding the asymmetries in vowel position, syllable structure, and coda consonant quantity (singleton versus geminate) observed in previous experiments. Twenty-nine (16 Arabic and 13 Japanese) participants were asked to use a carrier sentence to produce 60 polysyllabic (mainly CVCVCV) items that contrasted in vowel quantity (short versus long) and vowel quality (/a/, /i/, and /u/) at a normal speech rate. The results show that while short and long vowels are durationally distinct within a language, Japanese vowels are clearly longer than Arabic vowels, although the durational difference remains approximately the same between the two languages. The durational ratio of short-to-long vowel presents a new pattern that contrasts with that reported in earlier research. Specifically, Japanese long vowels in the medial position of polysyllabic words are twice as long as their short counterparts, while Arabic long vowels are more than twice as long. This shows that both vowel position and syllable structure must be considered when measuring vowel temporal acoustics or when structuring stimuli for perception experiments.

Opis:
Most approaches to inflectional morphology propose a synchronic account for the establishment of defaultness in the plural inflection. The current research aims at exploring the representation of the default system in JA at a diachronic level. The grammar of JA displays two default plural forms: the sound feminine plural marked with the suffix -aat (e.g. mataar/matar-aat ‘an airport/airports’) where a suffixation rule predicts the occurrence of the default plural. The second default plural is the iambic broken plural marked with an internal vowel change (short – long vowel) (kursi/karaasi ‘a seat/seats’). Our diachronic analysis would take into account the default shift that occurred in the grammar of JA in two different periods: the Turkish period and the British period. The findings reveal the importance of the diachronic factors in determining the status of ‘defaultness’ in terms of the ability of the lexicon to accept two default inflections. So, JA consists a hierarchy that contains two defaults: the iambic broken plural and the sound feminine plural. This mechanism of accepting two defaults gives insights into applying this multiple default format crosslinguistically in which a grammar of a language can host a multiple default system.

Opis:
Hearing loss is a common disability that occurs in many people worldwide. Hearing loss can be mild to complete deafness. Sign language is used to communicate with the deaf community. Sign language comprises hand gestures and facial expressions. However, people find it challenging to communicate in sign language as not all know sign language. Every country has developed its sign language like spoken languages, and there is no standard syntax and grammatical structure. The main objective of this research is to facilitate the communication between deaf people and the community around them. Since sign language contains gestures for words, sentences, and letters, this research implemented a system to automatically recognize the gestures and signs using imaging devices like cameras. Two types of sign languages are considered, namely, American sign language and Arabic sign language. We have used the convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify the images into signs. Different settings of CNN are tried for Arabic and American sign datasets. CNN-2 consisting of two hidden layers produced the best results (accuracy of 96.4%) for the Arabic sign language dataset. CNN-3, composed of three hidden layers, achieved an accuracy of 99.6% for the American sign dataset.

This study aims to examine the effect of incidental learning on the comprehension of 30 English affixes by 50 Arabic-speaking EFL learners in an attempt to determine which affixes are more easily comprehended. We adopt the experimental design of a pre- and post-test to measure the participants’ knowledge of English affixes before and after the treatment, which involved taking part in the prediction of the meaning of English affixed words in context for one academic semester. To this end, we divided the 50 participants into two groups: treatment and control. We administered a 30-item multiple choice test as the pre- and post-test to determine whether the treatment helped the participants expand their knowledge of English affixes.

The presence of Arabic loans in Swahili has not become subject of reliable corpus-based analyses so far. The in-fluence of Arabic language on Swahili can be investigated in literary sources, but reference to whether writers are Muslims or not is essential for their differentiation. This article intends to investigate the presence of Arabic in contemporary prose texts written by Tanzanian authors from Zanzibar and from mainland. The electronic corpus has two sets, Tanzanian cor-pus and Zanzibarian corpus respectively which are almost equal in size. The reference list of Arabic loans has been ex-tracted from two published sources. Using Concordance, a concordance software for text analysis, the frequency of words representing grammatical classes is tested. Differences in the two corpora have been indicated, as well as some shared occurrences of items of Arabic origin (mostly adverbs and conjunctions).

Brought up for discussion are problems of general and particular mor(pho)phonology. First, some linguistic terms are clarified, and the status of morphophonology as a linguistic subdiscipline is considered. The particular morphophonological part, referring to Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Tunisian Arabic (TA), is topic oriented and it treats in succession: the structure of the verb forms, the relation of homoradicality (homolexicality) specifying the corresponding paradigmatization, and the intra- and interparadigmatic relations. In terms of the former of these relations the concept of morphoneme is defined, and among the latter morphophonological convergence and analogy as well as thematogen homoaffixality are distinguished. Finally, the dynamics of morphophonological space, morphonemic and morphonic representations are touched upon.

The paper offers a reading of remnants of the Arabic text of SPP VIII 1198. The Greek part of this bilingual document has been known for a long time, but it could not be dated precisely with the indiction date preserved in the text. The dating formula that can be deciphered in the Arabic part allows the reconstruction of the exact dates for this and another tax receipt, PERF 573 = SB XVIII 13771, issued most probably by the same official. Different tax quotas indicated in the document are discussed as well. Moreover, an effort is made in the article to understand the identity of the issuing official and the document’s place of origin. Although it is almost certain that the tax receipt comes from the Egyptian province, it can be hypothesized that it was written originally in the capital city Al-Fustāt. Finally, some general conclusions about the process of the Arabisation of the Egyptian administration are drawn.
