[Andalusi Studies] Qawl 1.0 - A computer program for Arabic studies

[Sébastien Moureau]

Dear colleagues,

The computer program Qawl 1.0 is now available for free at the following 
address: http://www.uclouvain.be/qawl/.
Qawl is a free computer program for searchers, teachers and students in 
the fields of Arabic studies.

The program offers:
- a large library of Arabic texts (around 2000)
- a research algorithm enabling one to find any word or sequence of 
words matching a given query
- the automatic identification of parallel passages (sources, 
quotations, etc.) of any given selection of text by comparing it to the 
entire library
- a handy help for the translation and analysis of Arabic words and 
sentences via various webtools (Aratools, Google Translate, Bing Translator)

This program was created, developed and performed by Sébastien Moureau 
(F.R.S.-FNRS, University of Louvain, Belgium).
