دراسات منطقية وفلسفية وحاسوبية في اللغة العربية

الأحد 30 تشرين الأول 2011

The Arabic language is currently being investigated from various points of view at Birzeit University. There are currently four main parties that are researching Arabic from the aspects of logic, philosophy and computation. The importance of this arises from the fact that nations who are progressing in the field of the modern technologies are incorporating their mother tongues in the web, and in order to do that, Arabs have to take initiative to add Arabic to them. This pushed professors from various specialties and departments in Birzeit University to try to study how this can be done from their own point of view, and depending on their own fields and expertise. On Sunday, October 31st, a workshop titled “Arabic Language between Automation and Philosophy at Birzeit University” was held, to bring together those parties to share their work and findings.
