Can you tell me where to find Arabic texts?
The largest Arabic corpus available is the Al-Hayat 1995 CD (for the Mac).
It has some 140MB of data (about 23M words) in about 44,000 files, all
in Arabic Mac encoding (a superset of ISO 8859-6). It is available from:
Dr. Imad Bachir
Al-Hayat Publishing Company
Kensington Centre
66 Hammersmith Road
LONDON W14 8YT
+44 (0) 171 602 9988 (Tel);
+44 (0) 171 602 4963 (Fax)
ibachir@alhayat.com
Also, Khalid Choukri (elra@calvanet.calvacom.fr) suggests:
You should contact either Fathi Debili from the French Research Center
(debili@msh-paris.fr), or Ms. Nadia Hegazi from ERI - CAIRO
(nadia@eri.sci.eg).
