This book presents a contrastive linguistics study of Arabic and English
for the dual purposes of improved language teaching and speech
processing of Arabic via spectral analysis and neural networks.
Contrastive linguistics is a field of linguistics which aims to compare
the linguistic systems of two or more languages in order to ease the
tasks of teaching, learning, and translation. The main focus of the
present study is to treat the Arabic minimal syllable automatically to
facilitate automatic speech processing in Arabic. It represents
important reading for language learners and for linguists with an
interest in Arabic and computational approaches.
