Publisher: Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group
Description: Based on a 30-million-word corpus of Arabic which includes written and spoken material from the entire Arab world, this dictionary provides the user with detailed information for each of the 5,000 entries, including English equivalents, a sample sentence, its English translation, usage statistics, an indication of genre variation, and usage distribution over several major Arabic dialects.
Users can access the top 5,000 words either through the main frequency listing or through an alphabetical index arranged by Arabic roots. Throughout the frequency listing there are thematically-organized lists of the top words from a variety of key topics such as sports, weather, clothing, and family terms.
A CD version is available to purchase separately. Designed for use by corpus and computational linguists it provides the full text in a format that researchers can process and turn into suitable lists for their own research work.

Book: Recent Research in Second Language Phonetics/Phonology: Perception and Production
From http://www.c-s-p.org/Flyers/Recent-Research-in-Second-Language-Phonetics-Phonology--Perception-and-Production1-4438-1125-4.htm
Recent Research in Second Language Phonetics/Phonology: Perception and Production
Editors: Michael A. Watkins, Andreia S. Rauber and Barbara O. Baptista
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
Description: Recent Research in Second Language Phonetics/Phonology: Perception and Production reports the findings of seventeen interphonology studies on perception/production of sounds by different first language speakers. All the papers describe careful empirical research, and as such will be of great interest to anyone working, or intending to work, in the specific field of second language phonological acquisition. However, given that speech production and perception are highly complex skills, the research findings in this volume will also be relevant to those with a broader interest in language learning or cognition in general.
