  abstract =     "The Arabic language presents researchers and
                 developers of natural language processing (NLP)
                 applications for Arabic text and speech with serious
                 challenges. The purpose of this article is to describe
                 some of these challenges and to present some solutions
                 that would guide current and future practitioners in
                 the field of Arabic natural language processing (ANLP).
                 We begin with general features of the Arabic language
                 in Sections 1, 2, and 3 and then we move to more
                 specific properties of the language in the rest of the
                 article. In Section 1 of this article we highlight the
                 significance of the Arabic language today and describe
                 its general properties. Section 2 presents the feature
                 of Arabic Diglossia showing how the sociolinguistic
                 aspects of the Arabic language differ from other
                 languages. The stability of Arabic Diglossia and its
                 implications for ANLP applications are discussed and
                 ways to deal with this problematic property are
                 proposed. Section 3 deals with the properties of the
                 Arabic script and the explosion of ambiguity that
                 results from the absence of short vowel representations
                 and overt case markers in contemporary Arabic texts. We
                 present in Section 4 specific features of the Arabic
                 language such as the nonconcatenative property of
                 Arabic morphology, Arabic as an agglutinative language,
                 Arabic as a pro-drop language, and the challenge these
                 properties pose to ANLP. We also present solutions that
                 have already been adopted by some pioneering
                 researchers in the field. In Section 5 we point out to
                 the lack of formal and explicit grammars of Modern
                 Standard Arabic which impedes the progress of more
                 advanced ANLP systems. In Section 6 we draw our
                 conclusion.",
