## Papers

1. **[Arabic Morphosyntactic Tagging and Dependency Parsing with Large Language Models](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/langstream-2026-adel-arabic-morphosyntactic-tagging-dependency-parsing/)** *(2026)* The authors test whether instruction-tuned large language models can produce explicit Arabic grammatical analysis: 14 morphological features per token (part of speech, aspect, mood, voice, person, gender, number, case, state, four proclitics and one enclitic), and labelled CATiB dependency trees.
2. **[Arabic Sentence Segmentation Across Genres and Punctuation Conditions](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/langstream-2026-elkholy-arabic-sentence-segmentation-across-genres/)** *(2026)* Arabic sentence boundaries are hard to find because punctuation is sparse, inconsistent or absent in many texts, and clauses are often joined by conjunctions such as wa- and fa-.
3. **[Do Diacritics Matter? Evaluating the Impact of Arabic Diacritics on Tokenization and LLM Benchmarks](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/aclbulk-2026-inoue-do-diacritics-matter-evaluating-impact/)** *(2026)* The paper asks how Arabic diacritics (vowel marks and related signs) change tokenization and the scores of large language models.
4. **[When Similar Means Different: Evaluating LLMs on Arabic–Hebrew Cognates](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/langstream-2026-liang-similar-means-different-evaluating-llms/)** *(2026)* Arabic and Hebrew share many words with similar spellings. Some are true cognates with the same meaning, some are false friends with different meanings, and some are loanwords from a third language. The authors build SemCog Bench: 1,858 validated word pairs (858 true cognates, 364 false friends, 636 loanwords)…
