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
