Abstract
Language learners face difficulties while reading and comprehending Arabic text, this is because of the interwoven nature of Arabic script. In this paper, we present (Arcode) an automatic web-based system, which simplifies instruction on Arabic word decoding and comprehension through utilizing color-coding on Arabic text. The system is designed to help Arabic language learners to analyze and identify attached affixes (prefixes & suffixes), particle and silent letters of the selected text, and sentences based on the sentence morphological structure. This is done by encoding and presenting color conversion per word and character, using a certain color code. The proposed system is a combination of color-coding technique, transliteration, and text-to-speech technologies that creates an educational tool for learning the Arabic language. It also provides web services for developers who want to integrate the system into their own applications.
Highlights
Arabic is one of the mostly spoken languages exhibiting 300 million speakers around the world
Understanding morphology is of great significance since Arabic has rich lexica which can be acquired with great ease when understanding the principles of word formation
The second stage identifies the different affixes of individual words using certain color codes. This system was designed to help Arabic language learners analyze and identify attached affixes, particle and silent letters of the selected text and sentences based on the sentence morphological structure
Summary
Arabic is one of the mostly spoken languages exhibiting 300 million speakers around the world. Arabic is a systematically structured language with its special characters and specific phonemes which differ greatly from other language families. It includes a large vocabulary generated from a morphological system whereby one can extract numerous words and inflections from a single root. This section begins by shedding the light on the concept of color-coding and its applications in foreign. One example for a coding scheme is written languages, where spoken language is converted into visual symbols. Other codes utilize colors such as traffic lights, distance flag semaphore communication, and in electronic and networking devices mainly used to emphasize the given message or to distinguish different items
