Hi,
You did not specify what kind of Arabic you were looking for
(i.e. Classical Arabic, Modern Standard Arabic, or one of the dialects). I
have a small corpus of MSA newspaper text, 1600 words of which are
Part-of-speech tagged. I could give you a copy of this but I need to know
what encoding you prefer (Unicode, cp-1256, ISO 8859-6).
Regarding parallel corpora, I don't know of any, but I think the BBC
Arabic news website display some articles in Arabic that are translations
of the English articles and so could probably be aligned.
