How to educate the next generation of college students to invent,
to create, and to discover-filling needs that even the most
sophisticated robot cannot. Driverless cars are hitting the road,
powered by artificial intelligence. Robots can climb stairs, open
doors, win Jeopardy, analyze stocks, work in factories, find
parking spaces, advise oncologists. In the past, automation was
considered a threat to low-skilled labor. Now, many high-skilled
functions, including interpreting medical images, doing legal
research, and analyzing data, are within the skill sets of
machines. How can higher education prepare students for their
professional lives when professions themselves are disappearing? In
Robot-Proof, Northeastern University president Joseph Aoun proposes
a way to educate the next generation of college students to invent,
to create, and to discover-to fill needs in society that even the
most sophisticated artificial intelligence agent cannot. A
"robot-proof" education, Aoun argues, is not concerned solely with
topping up students' minds with high-octane facts. Rather, it
calibrates them with a creative mindset and the mental elasticity
to invent, discover, or create something valuable to society-a
scientific proof, a hip-hop recording, a web comic, a cure for
cancer. Aoun lays out the framework for a new discipline, humanics,
which builds on our innate strengths and prepares students to
compete in a labor market in which smart machines work alongside
human professionals. The new literacies of Aoun's humanics are data
literacy, technological literacy, and human literacy. Students will
need data literacy to manage the flow of big data, and
technological literacy to know how their machines work, but human
literacy-the humanities, communication, and design-to function as a
human being. Life-long learning opportunities will support their
ability to adapt to change. The only certainty about the future is
change. Higher education based on the new literacies of humanics
can equip students for living and working through change.
Recent research on the syntax of Arabic has produced valuable
literature on the major syntactic phenomena found in the language.
This guide to Arabic syntax provides an overview of the major
syntactic constructions in Arabic that have featured in recent
linguistic debates, and discusses the analyses provided for them in
the literature. A broad variety of topics are covered, including
argument structure, negation, tense, agreement phenomena, and
resumption. The discussion of each topic sums up the key research
results and provides new points of departure for further research.
The book also contrasts Standard Arabic with other Arabic varieties
spoken in the Arab world. An engaging guide to Arabic syntax, this
book will be invaluable to graduate students interested in Arabic
grammar, as well as syntactic theorists and typologists.
