Sherds from an Arabic Treebanking Mosaic

This paper would like to introduce the reader into those aspects of the Arabic language which require some special treatment compared to languages Europeans are more familiar with. In spite of having fresh experience in building the Prague Arabic Dependency Treebank, the authors try to take a broader view of the problems encountered under way. The topics discussed include linguistic data retrieval, morphology and morphotactics modelling, and description of the language on the analytical level.
