I'm curious about this facebook translation, if anyone out there has the language skillz to figure out what it thinks is 'pseudo science', and what a more reasonable translation of this paper topic might be, I'd love to know.

But of course I, a linguist, should learn this on my own so pls no obligation to halp.

I want to show off this short video which explains the neo-classical Arabic poetry movement in the 19th century pretty concisely.

In summary, the movement was largely in Egypt, but also in Lebanon and Syria and took the idea that poetry should have Classical Arabic form with contemporary thought.
