1. Using the Semantic-Syntactic Interface for Reliable Arabic Modality Annotation (2013 · 16 citations)
   Arabic had no corpus annotated for modality. Even the Penn Arabic Treebank carries no such labels. The authors build the first one. It uses a random sample of political tweets from the YADAC corpus, posted in Egypt during the first half-year of the 2011 revolution and written in both Egyptian Arabic (EA) and MSA.
2. Unsupervised Construction of a Lexicon and a Repository of Variation Patterns for Arabic Modal Multiword Expressions (2014 · 6 citations)
   The authors fill a gap in Arabic NLP: no lexicon or pattern resource existed for Arabic Modal Multiword Expressions (AM-MWEs).
3. 3arif: A Corpus of Modern Standard and Egyptian Arabic Tweets Annotated for Epistemic Modality Using Interactive Crowdsourcing (2014 · 3 citations)
   Arabic had no large corpus marked for epistemic modality, meaning the linguistic signals of how certain a speaker is about a proposition.
