Dear Colleagues,

Would anyone have some reference for concordance software for
Arabic? I am currently doing research on the frequency of the noun
plurals in contemporary Arabic novel.

Dear colleagues,

Due to a typographic error, the additional questions I announced in my
summary have not reached the Linguist list, so let me repeat the
inquiry:

The discussion about "cent" has shown the necessity of
systematically investigating at least three further
questions:

1. What is the plural of the word for "cent" in the European
languages? (How do you say: "I have only 15 cent/s" and "I
have a lot of cent/s in my pocket")
2. How is the word "euro" pronounced in different European
languages?
3. What is the plural of "euro" in these languages? ("15
euro/s"; "I have a lot of euro/s in my pocket")

Please reply off-list to pfandlkfunigraz.ac.at

Best
Heinrich Pfandl

PS:
I can now give the exact reference of the article mentioned in the
summary:
