    Yousef,

    The Language research group in the School of Computing at Leeds University
    has an ongoing interest in corpus-based research on Arabic, see
    http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/arabic

    This includes links to a number of freely-downloadable resources:

    An Arabic corpus, the Corpus of Contemporary Arabic;

    An open-source concordance tool for analysis of Arabic texts, aConCorde;

    Publications on Arabic computing by Leeds University researchers;

    And, of course, "Postgraduate degrees by research - how to apply" ;-)

    Enjoy!

    Eric Atwell, Leeds University
