Arab World English Journal for Translation & Literary Studies

Dear Prof. Al-kufaishi,
Since the time we officially*launched our Arab World Journal (AWEJ) seven years ago, we have been working hard to promote the goals of the journal.* We have made a continues effort to promote, strengthen and foster AWEJ as a pioneer and leading academic journal of its kind in the region serving our community members – colleagues in schools, universities, educational institutions, and research centers.* One of our goals is to empower our community by increasing the visibility of our contributor’s work on an international level, as well as, building a wider academic community and related research networks. You might know that AWEJ has received significant recognition by being included in the Emerging Sources Citation Index of a top academic indexing organization - Thomson Reuters besides many other well know international databases.

AWEJ is a quarterly journal (March, June, September and December). We have successfully published all issues on time and without delay. In addition AWEJ has published five special issues on translation and four issues on literature which have received high recognition and indexing worldwide. During the last few years, we have received many suggestions and encouragements from colleagues and institutions which have requested that we launch new Journals in these two fields and our answer was, “let us direct all our efforts on AWEJ for time being”.** However, we on the editorial board now believe the time is ripe to launch a new journal.
*
Therefore we are very pleased to announce that we are planning to launch our new journal;* Arab World English Journal for Translation & Literary Studies (AWEJ-tls) at the beginning of 2017. It is a new online sister journal to AWEJ. Our new journal (AWEJ-tls) will be devoted to publishing high quality original articles in the field of translation and literature. It will be a refereed international journal which follows a double-blind peer review process and it will be based upon an Open Access model that provides free availability of research papers. It will be hosted by Arab Society of English Language Studies (ASELS). http://asels.org/ We believe that AWEJ-tls will better meet the needs of more authors and readers in the fields of translation and literature than AWEJ can achieve alone. We hope AWEJ-tls will meet *our community’s needs in the region and beyond.

ASELS.org – Arab Society of English Language Studies

ASELS is a regional association representing the voice of English language scholars in the Arab world. The main aims of ASELS:-To promote, strengthen and foster ...

You are cordially invited to submit your paper that focuses on translation or literature for the first issue which bewill released inFebruary 2017.

Adding diacritics to Arabic

Harakat**— adds diacritics to Arabic
The biggest issue for those who study Arabic today is the absence of vowels in written Arabic. Short vowels are identified with diacritics, which are very important in defining the correct reading, meaning, and translation of text. Diacritics are mostly used in studying of the Arabic language and are usually dropped in daily life, where the meaning of words is identified through context.
Multillect’s Harakat will provide diacritics for Arabic text, which will make it easier to read and understand.
This app will be a great helper for both native speakers and those who study Arabic. Our app will help safe time and help develop reading and writing skills. This can be used both in schools and universities, and during personal studying of Arabic.
Multillect’s Harakat is a useful education tool and a great platform for solving practical tasks in working with text in Arabic.

(Segmentation, POS tagging, Lemmatization, Diacritization, NER, Constituency Parser and Dependency Parser)

A new Arabic Spell checker

*http://dal.univ-mlv.fr/
DAL, a new Arabic Spell checker is released at*dal.univ-mlv.fr. The spell checker covers more than 98.5 % of the words in modern Arabic texts.

DAL checks partially and fully vowelized words, but only for lexical diacritics not the case endings.* Nonetheless, It checks *the case agreement inside a delimited word form (DWF). For instance, a noun preceded by a prefixed preposition cannot be in accusative, but only in the genitive case.

Before spell checking, DAL performs a tagging *in order to check valid DWF*by using a rich tagset of 650 morpho-syntactic labels.

The spell checker is based on 78 000 lemmata, 6 million inflected forms, more than 500 million valid agglutinated forms (DWF), and several billions of*valid*partially vowelized forms.

The size of the compressed inflected dictionary(6 millions) is 8 megabytes.*at the speed of *2500 words/second on a Windows laptop, and at least 5000 on a Unix-based laptop (Mac-book). *

Waiting for your feedbacks, dear colleagues


PS: The textbox on the website limis texts to 3000 words (10 pages).*
Documentations and references *are on the website, in Arabic.*
