Awarded The Council for British Research in the Levant (CBRL) and The Palestinian American Research Centre (PARC) research funds for a project entitled: "Palestinian Transgressive Voices: Cultural Memory and Performative Arts in the Diaspora and Palestine". After the 2011 revolution, the word الفلول was widespread, also used in Egyptian media for the remnants of the Mubarak regime. I couldn't find it in the dictionary. Would you also include such terms? Study in the beautiful surroundings of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies building, which is inspired by traditional Islamic architecture (in-person classes only) Before joining the University of Edinburgh, Dr Farah Aboubakr was Senior Tutor of Arabic at the Language Centre (the University of Manchester); Freelance Translator and Lexicographer on the new edition of the Arabic-English-Arabic Oxford Dictionary (Oxford University Press); and Team Leader of the Senior Intensive Arabic course designed for professional linguists in the UK government as well as Convenor of Culture and Language Teaching of Levantine Dialects (Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese) at Communicaid Ltd. Qualifications Are there letters or comments from readers that you remember? What were they about? Specific words or expressions?

How do you deal with English terms for which there is no Arabic word yet? (for example: “ghosting”)

But in practice, getting down to word level is really difficult. When you translate a text, you have the full context; if one word doesn't quite work, you can play around with the surrounding text to make sure that the translation matches the intention of the original. When writing a dictionary, you don't have that space: every word needs to be perfect. Arabic may also be studied as a subsidiary language (ie as a second subject) alongside one of the following main subjects: You will spend around half your time studying Arabic language and literature, and around half studying the other language and related literature. Awarded full-bursary by The University of Manchester, entitled Graduate Teaching Fellowship, to study towards a PhD in Translation and Intercultural Studies.For the Arabic-English editors, the framework consisted of the ‘ Bulaaq Arabic-Dutch dictionary' compiled by Jan Hoogland and his team (of which I was one, before I moved to Britain). We actually hired mostly Dutch editors to work on this side (whose Arabic and English was top notch, of course) so the usefulness of the Dutch translations didn't get lost. Their work was then reviewed by native English speakers from both Britain and the US. When searching for new terms, the software ignores words that we already have in the dictionary. We already had فلول as the plural of فل, but not with that sense. And that's the weak spot of corpus software: it can recognize new words, but not new meanings. So as far as the analysis software was concerned, people were just talking about notches a lot.

Levels: Please see below for details of each level. The course for each level comprises 20 weekly classes spread over two-and-a-half terms: Michaelmas (Oct.– Dec. 2023), Hilary (Jan.– March 2024), and Trinity (April– May 2024). When creating the dictionary, we largely used the Gigaword corpus ( https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2003T12), analyzed by Sketch Engine software ( https://www.sketchengine.eu/); enhanced and improved by Oxford University Press (OUP) corpus linguists. Words and their context all paint a picture in one's head, a feeling, a sense, often sentiments, moral judgements, etcetera, all of which are very hard or impossible to capture in a dictionary. A corpus is a gigantic mass of texts of many different sources in a particular language, that can be researched with software to find how a particular word behaves in context. We use the standard Arabic spelling of the Hamza, as illustrated in the excellent book ‘ Arabic for Nerds‘ in paragraph 63 😉If you are applying for level 1b or higher, you will be asked to take a Placement Test to assist the Course Tutor in gauging present competence. Please note that acceptance on any course is always subject to the approval of the Course Tutor and to various external factors such as class sizes. This course is designed for students who have knowledge of basic Arabic grammar and have a good basic vocabulary. Students will be expected to enrich these skills and develop their written and spoken communicative abilities by exploring different subjects and topics, and various grammatical constructs. Term 1 will focus on expanding students' vocabulary relating to personal and social topics, and will introduce them to more complex ways of expressing their thoughts. The second term will build on these skills and expose students to various forms of written and recorded media. Topics will include: work-life and academia, TV and media, family, hopes and dreams, expressing opinions, time and quantifiers. By the end of the second term students should have reached Level A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Nominated for the EUSA Teaching Award (Student-led Teaching Award) in the categories of Outstanding Course and Teacher of the Year between 2014 and 2021 at the University of Edinburgh. For which Arabic or English texts does the dictionary work best? Can I use it to read the Qur'an or any religious text? Or can I only read texts that appeared in the last 100 years?
