Abstract
The article presents a learning web application, which contributes to enhancing the educational process of the Arabic language, especially in Moroccan Mid-High (schools). We use NooJ linguistic platform [1] to analyze the given syllabus. NooJ’s linguistic engine with its Text Annotation Structure (TAS) returns an annotation file after doing the linguistic analysis. The application stands on this returned annotation file to recognize and represent both nouns and adjectives that occur in the lesson.
We assume that Learners in preparatory stage must be able to distinguish between nouns, verbs and other grammatical categories, but they are not able to extract more sophisticated linguistic features, e.g. the pattern of a noun that has a duplicated root. The difficulty lies in the changes that occur in this kind of words, also in the rule/rules that were used to generate a certain Broken Plural Forms (henceforth BPF) from a singular noun/adjective. The application is meant to recognize and represent these sophisticated linguistic features and provide them to the learner.
The representation process provides the learner with the linguistic features of any noun or adjective that occurred in the lesson, e.g. the application would be able to return root, singular pattern, gender, grammatical category, Broken Plural pattern/patterns and other morphological, phonological and semantic features of a certain noun or adjective. The application can also examine rule/rules that were used to generate BPFs from its singular ones.
The lesson is divided into two main sections; the theoretical part where the learner is able to extract the linguistic features of any noun or adjective. The practical section aims to make the learner capable of recognizing these linguistic features and representing them in any text. In this first version we provide only one lesson, which is the Arabic Broken Plural lesson.
