This thesis deals with human conversations analysis specifically the Arabic political debates. The main objective is to study the argumentative aspects present in such discussions in order to identify conflicts, the exchange of opinions, acceptances and rejects of the ideas discussed throughout the dialogue. To perform this task, we focus on the recognition of dialogue acts which project the intention of the speaker and the context of utterance. We proposed an annotation scheme that reflects the communicative and argumentative structure of political debates. The proposed method is based mainly on the CRF models that take into account dependencies between words in the same utterance. These models were applied to the two tasks of segmentation and annotation of dialogue acts. The evaluation results are promising and confirm the effectiveness of CRF models for tasks of segmentation and labeling of sequential data. ; Cette thèse s'intègre dans le cadre de l'analyse des conversations humaines et plus précisément aux débats politiques télévisés arabes. L'objectif principal est d'étudier les aspects argumentatifs présents dans ce type de discussions afin de dégager les conflits, l'échange d'opinions, les acceptations et les rejets des idées discutées tout au long du dialogue. Pour se faire, nous nous focalisons sur la reconnaissance des actes de dialogue qui projettent l'intention de l'interlocuteur et le contexte d'énonciation de son discours. Nous avons proposé un schéma d'annotation qui reflète la structure communicative et argumentative des débats politiques. La méthode proposée se base principalement sur les modèles CRF qui tiennent en compte des dépendances entre les mots d'un même énoncé. Ces modèles ont été appliqués pour les deux tâches de segmentation et d'annotation des actes de dialogue. Les résultats d'évaluation obtenus sont prometteurs et confirment l'efficacité des modèles CRF pour les tâches de segmentation et d'étiquetage des données séquentielles.

El Marruecos contemporáneo ha desarrollado recientemente una política lingüística abierta al árabe dialectal y a las lenguas amaziges (bereberes). Este artículo presenta los resultados de un trabajo de campo realizado entre 569 estudiantes marroquíes al inicio del tercer milenio. Su objetivo era establecer la vitalidad de la lengua amazige entre ellos, y comprobar si existen diferencias entre el perfil sociolingüístico de los jóvenes arabófonos y el de los berberófonos. Una cosa es cierta: la lengua amazige está lejos de extinguirse y los bereberes deberían aprovechar esta oportunidad para revitalizar su lengua y su cultura. ; Modern Morocco has recently developed a language politics that is open to dialectal Arabic and Amazigh (Berber) languages. This article offers the results of a field survey carried out with 569 Moroccan students at the beginning of the third millennium. The aim of that survey was to establish the vitality of the Amazigh language among those youngsters and to detect eventual differences between the sociolinguistic profiles of Arabophone and Amazighophone students. One thing turned out to be sure: the Amazigh language is far from dead and the Imazighen (Berbers) should take the opportunity to revitalize their language and culture.

"A Handbook of Modern Arabic Historical Scholarship on the Ancient and Medieval Periods presents 16 studies about modern Arab academic scholarship on the Ancient and Medieval Worlds covering disciplines as diverse as Assyriology and Mamluk studies as well as historiographical schools in the Arab World. This unique work is the first of its kind in any language. It is an important resource for scholars and students of the Ancient Near East and North Africa, Classical and Byzantine studies, and medieval Islamic history who would like to learn more about the work done by their colleagues in the Arab World in these fields over the last 7 decades and to benefit from Arabic secondary sources in their research.

This volume presents the proceedings of the 26th Conference of the 'Union Europeenne des Arabisants et Islamisants' that took place in Basel, Switzerland, in September 2012. The theme of the volume, "Arabic and Islamic Studies in Europe and Beyond", indicates that research in Arabic and Islamic Studies is not only carried out in Europe but also in many non-European regions of the world. Furthermore, it expresses that Muslim history no longer represents an exclusive field of research remote from public attention. Nevertheless, the focus of Arabic and Islamic Studies is still highly specialized, calling on researchers to devote their academic lives to learning and practicing the major (and minor) languages of Islamic history and culture. In this regard, Arabic and Islamic Studies need to find an equilibrium, again and again, between disciplinary immersion and intellectual openness. The present collection contributes to these endeavors and struggles while reflecting the highly variegated nature of research in Islamic and Arabic Studies
