The aim of this paper is to uncover women discrimination by men which happened in I Am Malala. Pakistani woman has distinctive rights in religion and culture, where woman got the lower right. This paper utilizes an anthropological and feminist perspective using Koentjaraningrat’s cultural theory 2002. The result of this paper is that there is a difference in treatment of man and woman especially in the religious and cultural system. It is widely acknowledged that woman has been subject to cultural discrimination, and denial of their fundamental religious rights throughout the world. Muslim woman, in particular, has been subject to the tensions between Modernism and misinterpretation of woman’s right in Islam, and some Islamic scholars have begun to recognize the emergence of a distinct branch of feminism, known as Islamic feminism. Activists have sought to advance the cause of woman within the framework of Islam. One prominent advocate of this cause is the Nobel Peace Prize-winner Malala Yousafzai. This paper seeks to identify the religious right and cultural discrimination faced by woman in Pakistan, particularly when a girl child is born. Gender cultural discrimination continues to exist in Pakistan society, and many women are the victims of gender religious right misinterpretation and cultural discrimination, particularly in rural areas, where it has a significant effect on their treatment. Woman is still being discriminated against, which has a direct impact on their empowerment. Inequalities play a significant role in Pakistan society.

This research collects, studies, and analyzes adverbs of time and place in Yemeni dialects to understand their linguistic origins and connotations. It aims to clarify their practical meanings, linguistic roots, and variations across dialects. Driven by the prevalence and diversity of these adverbs in everyday Yemeni life, the study employs direct auditory collection from diverse environments and consults Arabic lexicons. Using an inductive and descriptive-analytical approach, the research is divided into sections on adverbs of time and place. Key findings highlight the diversity and regional variation of these adverbs, their similarities across many dialects, and their classical Arabic origins with phonetic and morphological changes over time.

This study analyzes common linguistic errors in the academic writing of Sana'a University students from a descriptive linguistic perspective. It is based on a sample of 100 actual essays, randomly collected from the Faculties of Education, Sharia, and Commerce. The descriptive-analytical method was employed to identify and classify errors across four main linguistic levels: phonological, morphological, syntactic, and grammatical. These errors are then interpreted according to the models of interlinguistics as presented by modern linguistics.
The results reveaed a pattern of errors indicating the presence of a temporary “intermediate language” that forms in the student’s mind during academic writing, influenced by the local phonological system and the everyday oral environment. Spelling errors were found to top the list of recurrences at 92%, followed by grammatical errors at 4.3%, semantic errors at 4%, and morphological errors at 2.5%.
The study provided a qualitative and quantitative analysis of these linguistic deviations as systematic representations of a temporary internal deficiency in linguistic competencies, rather than as incidental disturbances. The study recommended proposing the development of databases for university language performance, which would pave the way for linguistic reforms based on realistic scientific analysis rather than preconceived normative judgments.

This study is an attempt to evaluate and assess the quality of the translation of the Quranic narrative of the Yunus into English, by Marmaduke Pickthall in his work The Meaning of the Glorious Quran (1930), in light of House’s model. The analysis covers the story of Yunus, the source and target texts comparing the source text’s profile and target text’s profile at the register level i.e. (field, tenor, and mode) suggested by House’s 2015 model. The analysis of the source text and target text has revealed that there are differences lexically and syntactically but there is a great effort to maintain the poetic and literary qualities of the original Arabic language. The statement of quality at the end states no translation can fully capture the depth and richness of the Quran.

The research studies Barat dialect, aiming to extract linguistic phenomena in this dialect and understand the meanings and origins of its vocabulary. This is done to facilitate comprehension of the words for those who are interested and provide a linguistic study of Barat dialect for future researchers. The reasons for studying this topic lie in the rarity of previous studies on it and the presence of noteworthy phenomena in this dialect that deserve investigation to uncover its essence and hidden aspects. The research community relied on listening and referring to Arabic dictionaries to clarify these phenomena. The researcher adopted the inductive method to gather the phenomena and the descriptive-analytical method to study them. The research is divided into two sections, preceded by an introduction and followed by a conclusion. The first section is "Linguistic Levels," consisting of three subsections: the phonetic level, the morphological level, and the syntactic level. The second section is about "Vocabulary in Barat Dialect," which includes subsections on agricultural terms, household terms, and miscellaneous terms. The research has come up with multiple results, the most important of which are: the significant role of phonetic variation in dialectal differences and diversity, the existence of eloquent phenomena in Barat dialect, such as "tamtamaniyyah" and "shinshinah," the presence of recitations from the Quran and Prophetic traditions in verb forms, the difference in assimilation compared to Standard Arabic, the prefix "ba" in the dialect, which indicates reception, the use of interrogative sentences without interrogative particles such as “Jaa’a Abook?” (your father came?), and the alignment of many words in the dialect with their meanings in dictionaries.

The present paper presents analytical themes of Amitav Ghosh,The Glass Palace. It tries to analyze how the novel is related to Empire. In addition, Ghosh has received many awards, among them commonwealth prize when he wrote The Glass Palace. But he refused the prize, because he perfectly knew that the whole business of commonwealth is repackaging of Empire. This paper intends to investigate imperialism in the narrative of Indian writer; with special focus on subaltern voices who expose their bitter experiences during British Empire. The term 'subaltern' was used by Antonio Gramsci who supports us with the history of subaltern. After that, it was adopted to Subaltern Studies by Ranajit Guha. Guha subordinates South Asian society and addresses them in different way; cast, class, gender, race,.. etc. The research seeks to expose the colonizer's oppression in general and British colonizers in particular; voice the subaltern writers who expose their hard life because of political corruption. Further, others previous Indian writers narrate the subaltern nations throughout elites who have ambiguous picture about subaltern nations. Rather, elites are not portraying the authentic voices of subaltern. On the other hand, Ghosh asserts that the expansion of British Empire has a significant role on different aspects: woman's oppression, Indian partition into India and Pakistan, and the division of the nations into different classes and parties. To bridge the gap that other writers leave in terms of neglecting woman's rule towards the British colonizer. Ghosh's fiction portrays the woman as the leading spirits, he avoids victimization and degradation of woman. However, other writers depict woman and her experience in patriarchal societies with a deep sympathetic way.

This research aims to demonstrate that the collective writing of a singular narrative text results in a significant condensation of the interplay of literary genres, leading to a destabilization of its belonging to any of the recognized narrative genres. Proving this necessitated the adoption of (Structural Poetics) and (Textual Analysis) following the perspective of (Roland Barthes) as methodological procedures to examine the possibility of categorizing the collective narrative text. We have chosen "Kahanouf " as a field of application because it represents one of the most collectively written narrative texts, with nineteen writers collaborating in its composition. In order to categorize this collective text, it was imperative to begin with a theoretical discussion addressing the following: the distinction between individual and collective composition of texts, collective texts in Arabic literature, the difference between the concept of genre in literary theory and the various proposals for categorization in Structural Poetics and Textual Analysis, implication of categorization transformations, the generic nature of novels, and its modes of categories.
In the applied section, our endeavor focused on categorizing "Kahanouf" following an analysis of its narrative thresholds, mediators, narrators, the protagonist, his locations, voices, and techniques. We concluded that narrative texts are either individual or collective, with collective narratives being either “participatory”, “shared”, or “interactive”. The act of writing "Kahanouf" was indeed a collective participatory literary act that worked towards destabilizing the familiar narrative structure found in individual texts. Instead, it replaced it with a holistic structure that brought the text together in a duality of impasse and resolution, through the interplay of genres, themes, and techniques that led to propose a new category of "Kahanouf" which we have termed: “The Archipelago Novel”.

This study is an attempt to investigate cohesion difficulties that M.A. students of the English Departments at Sana'a and Aden Universities in Yemen faced in academic writing and explored instructors’ perspectives on overcoming these difficulties. The study employed a mixed-methods design and collected data through questionnaires from 30 students and interviews from 7 instructors. Data were analyzed using SPSS descriptive statistics. The results show high difficulties in using cohesive devices, where substitution and ellipsis were the most difficult, and reference and conjunction devices were the least problematic. Instructors highlighted key strategies to overcome cohesion difficulties, including practicing writing regularly, reading, revising, consulting language resources, and having feedback. This study underscores the importance of targeted interventions, including workshops, mentorship programs, and the integration of technology, to address these issues. The results contribute valuable insights into improving academic writing among M.A. students and propose recommendations for future research and practical applications

With the assistance of studies in genre analysis of writing in both professional and academic settings, features of different disciplines have been highlighted. However, hybrid disciplines received scant attention. The present study aimed at investigating the use of interactional metadiscourse markers (MMs) in two legal hybrid disciplines: medical law and IT law. Two tools were adopted to collect data: corpora consisting of 150 research article (RA) abstracts selected randomly from two high- impact factor journals and structured open-ended email interview with seven well-known scholars. For the analysis, Hyland's (2005) model of interpersonal MMs and thematic analysis were used. The results indicated that writers in medical law and IT law followed the steps of hard disciplines writers by preferring an objective writing style driven by data rather than by personal interpretations. In the light of these results, ESP instructors and curriculum designers can help writers in the said fields follow the conventions of hybrid disciplines. It is recommended that future studies be conducted to unveil the writing styles of more hybrid disciplines.

This study explores the dynamics, forms, and transformations of antonyms within contemporary Yemeni poetry. It establishes a stylistic framework to uncover internal semantic relationships within the binary oppositions. Adopting the stylistic approach, the research analyzes these texts to highlight structural and semantic aesthetics. The study comprises three sections: Nominal, Synergistic, and Symbolic Antonymy. The sample includes texts from Yassin Muhammad Al-Bakali, Abu Bakr Mahmoud Bajaber, Abdullah Salem Bakerman, and Ibrahim Talha, representing diverse patterns within the traditional "vertical" poem.
Findings reveal antonymy as a complex, interlocking semantic system transcending superficial rhetorical techniques. Instead, it functions as a generator of artistic energy and dynamic dialectics. The study demonstrates that binary relationships operate as an intricate network of oppositions, creating continuous dialectical movement that deepens aesthetic impact and enhances recipient response. As a pioneering work, this represents the first in-depth academic research applying the modern stylistic method to the vertical poem in contemporary Yemeni poetry. It serves as a pivotal starting point for specialized critical studies. Furthermore, the study contributes to enriching critical perspectives on contemporary poetic expression mechanisms and their creative evolution in Yemen, providing an advanced methodological framework applicable to similar studies of complex stylistic phenomena in contemporary Arabic poetry.

The audiovisual translation of animated content involves a complex interplay between linguistic accuracy and cultural acceptability, especially when the source text is rich with cultural items and the target audience includes children. This study therefore aimed to investigate the cultural manipulation of the Arabic dubbing of the animated cartoon The Simpsons to create a dubbed version that suits Arab children. Using Pedersen’s (2017) FAR model of Translation Quality Assessment, the study aimed to assess how the extralinguistic cultural references (ECRs) are transferred, adapted, or obscured in the Arabic dubbed version of the series. To achieve these objectives, a mixed-methods approach is followed combining qualitative and quantitative methods. The study sample included 11 examples selected purposefully from the first and second seasons of The Simpsons. A high frequency of dubbing errors was found in the Arabic dubbed version, particularly in terms of the functional equivalence parameter, with a rate of 63.63%. Regarding the acceptability parameter, grammar and idiomaticity errors were observed, with a rate of 42.42%. Given the nature of the medium of communication (i.e. spoken discourse) to be evaluated, the two parameters of spelling errors and readability were excluded from the analysis due to their irrelevancy. This study then concluded with a recommendation for a quality assurance mechanism designed to safeguard target Arab children from harmful foreign cultural elements by effectively domesticating such elements into an appropriate local narrative.

The paper interrogates race, identity, and hybridity in The Impressionist as legacies of colonialism. It uses the post-colonial approach to discuss these related topics. It deals with the cultural clash between the colonizer and the colonized and the quest for identity in the postcolonial era. It shows how hybridity and diasporic experiences affect the protagonist's attempt to construct his identity. It argues how the protagonist's attempts to construct his identity are hampered by the incongruous cultural values crammed in his mind by the colonizer's indoctrination. It argues that through depicting the cultural clash between the colonizer and colonized, dismantles the racist indoctrination that prompts Indians to ape the colonizers' culture and internalize the British values. Through portraying the protagonist's predicaments and the horrendous incidents the protagonist has undergone, Kunzru challenges the oppressive power structures inherited in Indian society. He also attempts to expunge the nefarious impact of colonialism that maims Indian identity in the post-independence era and entangles Indians in its snare. Kunzru has denuded his protagonist, Pran Nathan, of the definite boundary of society, home, nation, and individuality and provoked him to embrace fake identities. Through, Kunzru stresses the importance of blurring and intermingling identities and boundaries into a single identity and boundary but he himself has encountered some challenges that have impeded achieving his dream in the foreign countries.

The present paper focuses on the diaporic Iraqis’ bitter experiences during the American invasion in Iraq. The writer, Anaam Kachachi, presents her own struggle to assert self-identity throughout her autobiographical writings, she first was as an exile from Iraq, and later she immigrates to Paris. In Kachachi’s the American Grandduaghter, Kachachi expresses diasporic themes such as nostalgia, exile, hybridized[1] identity, homesickness and patriotism. Further, she sets her novels against backdrop of the American colonization and dictatorship of Iraqi Sadam Hussien. In other words, she explores the reality of the American colonial war on Iraqi citizens throughout representing some characters such as; Zeina’s grandmother, Rahm, and Tawoos’s son, Muhaymen. Therefore, Kachachi gives voice to the Iraqi marginalized nations to prove their patriotism, when Zeina says, “I just repeat after my father: I’d give my right hand if I should ever forget you, Baghdad” (AD[2] 180). Kachachi attempts to draw the attention of the readers towards the process of neo-colonialism and U.S. invasion of the Arab-Islamic countries on the disguise of liberation, democracy, development and human rights…, etc.
[1]hybridized identity: the term ‘hybridity’ is related to critical theorist, HomiBhabha, he is an Indian-British scholar. One of his central ideas is that of "hybridisation," which, taking up from Edward Said's work, describes new cultural forms from identity fragmentation. Bhabha shows how its histories and cultures constantly intrude on the present, demanding that we transform our understanding of cross-cultural relations. His work transformedto colonial texts.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homi_K._Bhabha

The present research paper investigates the challenges faced by postgraduate translation students at Yemeni universities when translating banking terminology from English into Arabic. It also identifies the main reasons behind these challenges and proposes effective solutions. It adopts the descriptive analytical method employing the qualitative-quantitative approach. For data collection, the research employed three instruments to achieve its objectives. Firstly, a test, including thirty-four diversified English banking terms, was conducted to examine the challenges encountered by postgraduate translation students. Secondly, a close-ended questionnaire was administered to postgraduate translation students to find out the main reasons behind these challenges. The questionnaire comprised fifteen statements. Thirdly, another closed-ended questionnaire with twenty-six statements was used to identify solutions for these challenges. The research findings revealed that postgraduate translation students face significant lexical challenges when translating banking terminology. This is primarily due to their limited knowledge and inadequate training in commercial translation in general, and banking terminology in particular. The findings presented effective solutions and recommendations to overcome these difficulties, emphasizing the need for students to possess sufficient practical knowledge and employ appropriate strategies when translating banking terms.

This study investigated the difficulties used in writing theses and dissertations in the departments of English at Yemeni universities. Data was collected from 100 MA and Ph.D. students through a questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS descriptive statistics. The results revealed that Yemeni postgraduate students face various difficulties, including selecting the appropriate tense, utilizing proper academic phrases, writing an effective topic sentence for each paragraph, employing cohesive devices such as ellipses, reporting qualitative results, and completing writing the thesis od dissertation before the deadline . The results also showed that the reasons for these difficulties attributed to the lack of reading, selecting a suitable study topic, and formulating a clear problem statement . To help postgraduate students overcome these difficulties, supervisors recommended various strategies. The most commonly suggested strategies included implementing a reading strategy, attending a specialized course for developing research proposals, and seeking guidance through a consulting strategy. The researcher recommended prioritizing reading to improve writing proficiency, selecting a manageable research topic, approaching the topic from different perspectives to avoid repetition, seeking guidance from experts and peers during thesis writing, formulating a clear, preparing research problem statement in their proposals, participating in specialized courses to learn how to write research proposals, and initiating the writing process by engaging in reading, brainstorming ideas, and elaborating upon them.

This study aimed to explore the factors that senior translation students at Sana’a University perceive as the main causes of the difficulties they have in rendering metaphorical expressions in English economics texts into Arabic. To achieve this objective, the study employed a mixed-methods approach to the analysis of the data collected via a questionnaire administered to a randomly selected sample of 55 senior translation students enrolled in the Translation Dept. at the Faculty of Languages at Sana'a University. Statistical analysis of the data was then carried out using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results revealed that senior translation students believe that the difficulties they encounter when translating metaphors in English economic discourses into Arabic arise from a variety of factors, the main ones of which include cultural differences, students' low linguistic proficiency, divergences between the linguistic systems of Arabic and English, lack of necessary resources for translation of economic metaphors and limited exposure to these metaphors in genuine texts, students’ unawareness of the appropriate translation strategies for rendering the target metaphors, curriculum-related factors, and finally other factors related to translation instruction and teaching. The study therefore recommends that metaphorical expressions in English economics texts and the appropriate strategies for rendering them into Arabic be integrated into translation instruction. It is also recommended that greater attention be given to translation courses by increasing the hours allocated to teaching and practicing translation between English and Arabic. This will certainly enable students to broaden their cultural knowledge, improve their linguistic proficiency, and enhance their translation skills.

Undoubtedly, in any given society cultural elements are manifested in all aspects of life. In this globalized age, efforts have been exerted in translating cultural elements. However, since each culture has its own linguistic peculiarities and social aspects, it has become a complicated issue in the field of MT. Despite the recent technological developments, MT still lacks the ability to produce adequate translation in terms of author-based accuracy and reader-oriented cultural acceptability. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of MT in rendering Yemeni culture-specific items into English by comparing the translation outcomes of three MT programs (Google Translate, Yandex Translate and Bing Translator) to find out which program can produce the closest translation to the source text. Moreover, the study aims to identify translation problems of Yemeni culture-specific items resulting from MT. To achieve these aims, the researchers followed a descriptive qualitative method within a comparative framework. The study sample includes 14 Yemeni culture-specific items in their contexts taken from the book Social Issues in Popular Yemeni Culture by Abdu Al Rahman Mutahar and inserted into the three MT systems. The study concluded that MT lacks the ability to translate Yemeni culture-specific items adequately. The three programs failed to render most of the selected sample adequately. Google and Yandex failed to translate 13 cultural items whereas Bing made 12 errors in translating the same cultural items. The study results also showed that MT faced challenges in translating Yemeni culture-specific items, resulting in lexical, semantic and pragmatic problems.

Cette étude vise à évaluer l'employabilité des diplômés en langue française de la faculté des Langues de Sanaa, dans un contexte de crise prolongée. Selon une approche méthodologique mixte, l'analyse des trajectoires professionnelles de 217 diplômés révèle un écart structurel entre une formation purement linguistique et la demande de compétences opérationnelles (techniques et transversales) sur un marché qui marginalise déjà la langue française. Cette discordance fragilise l'insertion professionnelle des diplômés, dont environ 46% sont confrontés à une situation d'insécurité économique (chômage ou emploi instable). Quant aux diplômés actifs, ils occupent majoritairement des postes éloignés de leur « spécialisation », et ce, en adoptant des stratégies proactives telles que la reconversion et l'acquisition de compétences complémentaires.
En conclusion, l'étude préconise, entre autres, une refonte du programme d'études selon un modèle hybride qui inclut, outre l'enseignement du français, une dimension professionnalisante pertinente, tout en favorisant le développement des compétences transversales et un enseignement renforcé de l'anglais

This study aims to assess and evaluate the quality of Abdullwahab Al-Maqaleh's Translation of idiomatic expressions and culture-bound Terms of Dave Eggers's Novel "The Monk of Mokha" by using House's (2015) Translation Quality Assessment Model. The descriptive analytical methodology is used in this study. The analysis is divided into two sections. The first section analyzes the source text and target text according to their register and genre. The analysis of the source text and target text shows a number of mismatches and errors (overtly erroneous errors) along these dimensions. The second section categorizes the related overt errors into five categories: not translated, slight change of meaning, significant change of meaning, breach of the target language system, and creative translation. The study shows that the target text has many mismatches at the level of field, tenor, and mode, such as lexical and syntactic mismatches. It reveals that many cultural terms were translated literally and did not reflect the intended meaning of the source text.

This study employs a descriptive statistics approach to investigating the integration of educational technology into language learning, focusing specifically on frequently used learning tools, learners' perceptions of their effectiveness, and associated challenges. A questionnaire was designed and administered to a randomly selected sample of 75 third-level students enrolled at the English Department in the Faculty of Language in Sana'a University. Results indicated that mobile applications and online dictionaries are the most widely used learning tools, with over 50% of participants rating them as highly effective. While perceiving online courses and virtual classrooms as effective to some extent, learners reported technical issues and limited peer interaction as significant obstacles. Qualitative insights were obtained through open-ended questions within the survey, highlighting learners' awareness of the usefulness of AI-supported learning tools in providing personalized feedback and interactive practice; however, concerns regarding distraction and information overload were also noted. Based on these findings, the study offers some insights that can, hopefully, benefit educators, policymakers, and educational institutions aiming to enhance language learning by integrating technology into their curricula and by addressing learner-specific challenges.

This study aimed to investigate the psychological and cognitive difficulties encountered by undergraduate Yemeni students during simultaneous interpreting (SI) sessions. Data from 30 Yemeni undergraduate trainee students, in SI classes, at the Department of English and Translation from al-Qalam University for Humanities & Applied Sciences, Ibb City, Yemen, and the National University, Ibb Branch, Yemen were observed, recorded, collected, and analyzed quantitatively, descriptively and qualitatively within the framework of approaches and models of SI discussed in this study. The study at hand uncovered the most prominent psychological and cognitive difficulties faced by students during the process of SI tasks which were difficulties in listening comprehension, memory, language production, processing speed, management of attention, anxiety and stress, cognitive load management, self-regulation, problem-solving, motivation and persistence. The implications for educational practices, interventions, and supporting mechanisms were recommended to enhance students’ performance. Finally, the study concluded with some suggestions for future research aiming to contribute to the advancement of interpreter training programs and the understanding of psychological and cognitive processes in simultaneous processing tasks.

African American history is the black spot in the history of humanity since it represents mankind as monsters who enjoy hurting others and feel the pleasure of looking at them crying loudly due to pain. Thus, the main purpose of this paper is to shed light on the history of Afro-American literature to know why African American history is full of gloomy memories and to highlight the well-known figures in it. This paper is an analytical and descriptive study and the data are taken from relevant books, theses, essays, and journals. The cultural and historical aspects of this data through close reading and by using comparative and critical methods are studied. Since Yaa Gyasi is one of the African American authors who wants to show the real picture of black people suffering during and after slavery. It was decided to analyze her novel Homegoing. This paper ends up proving that the Afro-Americans faced without any mercy all kinds of oppression, horrors, and pains from slavery, segregation, and the white community discrimination due to their color and ethnicity as it was protruded in Homegoing. As a result, literature was seen as a perfect tool to tell the world what happened to black people and many black authors like Yaa Gyasi became famous icons in the world of literature because of their massive contributions in the field of Afro-American Literature.

Nicknames in audiovisual content serve multiple purposes including, highlighting character traits, adding humor, fostering familiarity, and revealing relationships within the narrative. Subtitling these names can be challenging, due to their culture-specific and connotative nature. However, there is a noticeable lack of research on the strategies involved in subtitling them, particularly from English to Arabic. Therefore, this study aimed to address this gap by identifying, analyzing, and assessing the strategies subtitlers used in subtitling nicknames from English to Arabic. To achieve this, 41 subtitles containing nicknames were selected from the first season of the TV series Lost and analyzed based on Pedersen’s (2011) taxonomy of strategies. Data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Results showed frequent use of Retention, Direct translation, Situational Substitution, and Omission strategies which failed to convey the intended meaning causing a deviation from the original effect. The used strategies suggested a tendency to untranslated them. Therefore, it was recommended to consider the functional aspects of the nicknames and the significance of conveying their intended meaning to enhance the effectiveness of nickname subtitling and improve viewer experience. Instructors of translation are also recommended to pay sufficient heed to the teaching of strategies of nickname subtitling.

This research first addresses the difference between internal and external factors in the development of sciences. The first type arises from the logic of the science itself, while the second type is beyond the nature of science, whether it is due to individual reasons, such as scientists themselves, or to general political, social, economic, or other circumstances. Then it focuses on the main profession practiced by Arabic linguists, grammarians, and narrators, which is public and private teaching. It reveals other aspects of the benefits gained by Arabic scholars in their proximity to those in higher positions. For example, the connection between authorship and those in higher positions, as some scholars write on a specific topic upon their request, dedicate their works to them, or title their works after their names.
Other reasons for receiving rewards include the scholar's response to a scientific question from them, the presence of scholars in their gatherings, the issuance of a wise response from the scholar, or the narration of a story that amazed them. Lastly, it discusses the negative effects of Arabic scholars' monetizing knowledge and their proximity to those in higher positions, such as fabrication, complexity of works, arrogance in debates, and presenting a unrealistic image of grammatical differences by highlighting the dichotomy of Al-Basra and Al-Kufa. Furthermore, the presence of Arabic scholars near positions of power does not rule out that they were either integrated with the ruling ideology or submissive to it.

This research aims to study the abandoned words between two generations in the dialects of Ibb Governorate, using the descriptive analytical approach. The research is divided into an introduction that clarifies the reasons for the research, its objectives, its problem, its importance and its methodology. It also includes three chapters. The first chapter deals with the abandoned words between classical Arabic and Yemeni dialects. The second chapter deals with the abandoned words in classical Arabic, and the third chapter deals with the abandoned words in non-classical Arabic The types of abandoned words in the dialects studied are: abandoned in pronunciation, abandoned in meaning, abandoned in both pronunciation and meaning. The forms of abandoned words are: abandoned from eloquent to eloquent, abandoned from eloquent to non-eloquent, abandoned from non-eloquent to eloquent, and abandoned from non-eloquent to non-eloquent. Most of the voiced words were non-eloquent, and most of the new usage of voiced words is eloquent.

The research aims to explore linguistic phenomena in the Hadhrami dialect, identify the linguistic features that distinguish this dialect, and preserve as much of the dialect's vocabulary as possible from extinction. The research boundaries will rely on oral sources, followed by referencing Arabic dictionaries to determine the meanings and origins of words. The researcher adopted the inductive approach to gather vocabulary and the descriptive-analytical approach to study these phenomena. The researcher has reached a number of findings, the most important of which are: some archaic linguistic phenomena remain unchanged, such as "al-'aj'ajah" and "ashnashnah.". Additionally, some archaic linguistic phenomena have undergone changes and differ from standard Arabic, such as diminution, inversion, and substitution. Furthermore, certain loanwords from English and Hindi have entered the dialect, such as "kabat" (cabinet), "kandishin" (conditioner), and "banqalah" (bungalow). There are also differences in vocabulary between the Hadhrami dialect and standard Arabic, particularly in interrogative words. Some Hadhrami words have no roots in Arabic dictionaries, like "ghadhq," where the exact word was not found, but similar words with slight variations in some letters and the same meaning were found. Hadhramis tend to use abbreviations in their speech, possibly due to the speed of their speech, leading to the omission of certain letters in words, such as "lahad" for "la ahad" (nobody) and "layman" for "al-ayman" (the right). The research is divided into two sections preceded by an introduction and followed by a conclusion and suggestions. The first section explores the levels of the Hadhrami dialect, including phonetics, morphology, and syntax. The second section focuses on specific vocabulary in the Hadhrami dialect, including residential terms and rain-related terms.

Semantic cohesion is the second criterion of textually according to Robert de Beaugrand. It is concerned with the content in the text and the ways of semantic interconnection between the ideas of the text on the one hand, and between them and knowledge of the world on the other hand. It is concerned with studying the consistent relationships between the issues expressed by complex sentences and sequences of sentences. It is also concerned with semantic structures of a major comprehensive nature, which are not It is characterized by direct characteristics such as the existence of relationships between individual issues. Rather, it is distinguished by looking at the structures of propositions, sequences of complex sentences, and sequences of discourse issues ( ), and because the subject of the discourse performs two basic functions: the first: as a basis for integrating the ideas that it conveys, and contributes to organizing them, and the second: as an indicator that indicates... To the reader’s or listener’s knowledge of the world related to the topic, as well as the context; Because it reveals to us the intended meaning of the verbal common, the meaning of the Quranic word, and determining the type of addressee.
The research relied on a main problem, which is: What is the role of the discourse of interpretation of Adwaa al-Bayan in clarifying the Qur’an with the Qur’an in the semantic cohesion of the text?
The research relied on a descriptive analytical approach based on monitoring textual facts and approaching their linguistic connections with semantic reliance. Thus, the research reached a set of results, the most important of which are:
The research confirms Al-Shanqeeti’s interest in the semantic level in terms of: focusing on the topic of the discourse and its importance.
- The research revealed Al-Shanqeeti’s care in showing the aspects of coherence in the single topic and multiple contexts, and defining the type of discourse, and the guarantor in explaining the meaning of the Qur’anic word, its suitability, and the secret of choosing it so that it suits the context.
The ultimate goal and lofty goal that the research has reached is the extent of the flexibility of traditional Arabic texts in how they are analyzed, and their ability to adhere to the various mechanisms and procedures produced by various modern studies, including: towards a text that has successful mechanisms in how it deals with texts.

This study explores ideological and rhetorical shifts in Arabic translations of Yemen-related political news articles published by some English-medium outlets, applying Aristotle’s model of rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, and logos) to uncover how translation strategies can influence the ideological framing of political discourse. The study also draws on Skopos theories of translation and rhetoric to examine how translators may intentionally manipulate credibility, emotions, and logical arguments as tools of persuading and informing to align the translated text with certain political and ideological agendas. This paper aims to investigate the extent to which translators employ rhetorical appeals to alter the message of the original text or amplify that of the translation, as well as how such modifications can contribute to the ideological positioning of the target text. The paper thus highlights the critical role of translation in shaping political narratives, offering insights into how rhetorical strategies are adapted across languages to influence public opinion. The findings reveal that translators often employ specific rhetorical techniques to align political messages with targeted ideological perspectives. It is hoped that this study can contribute to the field of translation studies by highlighting the active role of translators in shaping political discourse, suggesting that translation is not merely a linguistic exercise but a strategic act with profound ideological consequences.

George Orwell’s Animal Farm (1945) is one of the most influential political allegories of the twentieth century, and has been widely translated into different languages across the globe, including Arabic. Since its first Arabic version appeared in 1951, the novel has been retranslated multiple times, reflecting the shifting cultural, political, and ideological landscapes of the Arab world. This paper investigates how ideological perspectives have shaped those Arabic translations of Animal Farm, showing their influence not only on the linguistic rendering but also on the interpretive lens through which Arab readers engage with Orwell’s satire. Adopting a descriptive and comparative approach, the study analyzes four representative Arabic translations published between 1951 and 2014. Analysis focuses specifically on translators' prefaces, the rendering of the names and descriptions of the key characters, as well as of some ideologically sensitive passages. By tracing differences between the data translations in terms of lexical choices, omissions, and additions, the paper shows how each translator's ideological stance—ranging from critical, neutral, and skeptical to sympathetic—manifests itself in translation strategies and narrative framing. The paper concludes that none of the selected translations is definitive; rather, each version reflects a negotiation between Orwell’s original political purpose and the translator's ideological environment. This highlights the broader interplay between literature, translation, and ideology, reminding us that translations of politically charged texts are never neutral but always culturally situated.

Culture-specific terms (CSTs) represent one of the thorniest issues in translation, particularly legal translation, as they are culturally rooted and heavily loaded with specific traditional connotations and functions. Thus, translating CSTs, particularly used in court documents, not only requires a bilingual and bicultural translator but also professional knowledge of translation strategies, which play an indispensable role in translating such terms. This study aimed to explore and examine translation strategies employed by Yemeni accredited translation offices when translating CSTs in Yemeni court documents. To achieve the study objective, Ghazala’s (2015) taxonomy of strategies for translating culture-specific terms was adopted to analyze and assess the strategies applied by the study participants who were randomly selected from Sana'a-based translation offices. They were requested to translate a validated list of CSTs randomly selected from various legal documents at Yemeni courts. The study results revealed that the majority of the study participants (38%) applied the literal translation strategy, which yielded inappropriate translations oriented towards the source language. Only a small number (2%) of them used strategies that led to semantically and functionally acceptable translations. Therefore, it is recommended that strategies for translating cultural items proposed by Ghazala’s (2015) taxonomy be introduced to translation programs in departments of translation to prepare translation students for the labor market.

This research explores the phenomenon of learning Arabic in in early Arab-Islamic civilization, analyzing its social motivations. The study concludes that the learning of Arabic was a widespread social phenomenon. The reasons for studying Arabic included its national significance, as it held a distinguished place in the religious identity of Muslims; its religious importance, given its intrinsic connection to the Qur’an and all Islamic sciences; its scholarly necessity, as it served as the linguistic foundation for both religious and secular knowledge among the Arabs, with no intellectual discipline existing independently of it; and its social prestige, since mastery of refined Arabic (al-‘arabiyya al-mu‘arraba) functioned as a marker of class distinction, separating the elite from the rest of society. Additionally, proficiency in Arabic offered professional opportunities, enabling individuals to earn a living as tutors (ta’dīb), scribes (kitāba), and later as copyists (warrāqa). Furthermore, its standardized nature—not being the natural dialect of any single group but rather a rich synthesis of various Arab dialects—necessitated formal study for all, including Bedouins. The study also reveals that the learning of Arabic became widespread among mawālī, Arabs, and the rising generation. Scholars responded to this intellectual demand by composing works for general learners, addressing linguistic errors and corrections, as well as developing pedagogical grammatical texts for students.

This research investigates linguistic phenomena in the dialect of Mabyan District, Hajjah Governorate, Yemen. The study aims to extract the most important linguistic features of this dialect, understand the meanings and origins of its vocabulary, facilitate comprehension for interested individuals, and provide a linguistic study of Mabyan dialect for future researchers. The researcher's affiliation with Mabyan district and the lack of previous studies on its dialect were the main motivations for this research. In addition, the presence of unique linguistic phenomena in this dialect is worthy of study to uncover their meanings and secrets.
The research community was represented by listening to native speakers and relying on the researcher's own knowledge of the dialect, as well as consulting Arabic dictionaries for clarification. An inductive approach was adopted to collect the phenomena, while a descriptive-analytical approach was employed for analysis. The study was divided into two main sections: linguistic levels and vocabulary in Mabyan dialect. The linguistic levels section explored phonological, morphological, and syntactic features. The vocabulary section delved into terms related to agriculture, household, weather, and markets.
The research yielded several findings, including the significant role of phonological differences in dialect variation, the presence of Classical Arabic features in Mabyan dialect such as assimilation, metathesis, and vowel harmony, and the existence of unique features not found in Classical Arabic, such as words beginning and ending with consonants. The dialect also exhibits similarities with other Yemeni dialects and uses a single relative pronoun, "li".

The issue of literal translation, especially in the context of the Qur’anic text, raises polarized arguments among translation scholars and practitioners. Orthodox Muslim scholars have fundamentally different views on the permissibility of literal translation of the Holy Qurʼān meanings, with the majority rejecting it. However, they approved translations that heavily relied on literal translation and deemed them reliable. This study aims to explore the various opinions of Muslim scholars regarding the literal translation of the Holy Qurʼān meanings, and provide a reconciliation of theoretical stances on literal translation with practical attitudes towards endorsed translations. A literature review of the debates surrounding literal translation, along with a critical reading of texts from a translation science perspective, reveals a potential misconception among Muslim scholars regarding the concepts of literal translation and word-for-word translation. While the vast majority of Muslim scholars maintained reservations, some accurately defined literal translation, supporting its use over other translation methods when possible. The research advocates for a dire assessment of literal translation, drawing from authenticated translations. By addressing the misconceptions of literal translation, it aims at a nuanced understanding of literal translation, which will help improve scholarly understanding and fortify the theoretical underpinnings for practical and theoretical translation initiatives.

This study titled "Methods of (Interrogative, Calling, Negation) between Arabic and Soqotri" was conducted by the researcher to study the Soqotri language. The study was divided into three sections. First section " Interrogative Method " discussed the definition of interrogation, its tools, and omission in both languages. Second "Calling" discussed the definition of calling, its tools, and omission in both languages, as well as some issues related to calling such as help, surprise, and lamentation. Third "Negation" discussed the definition of negation and its tools in both languages. In each part of the three sections, the study sought to balance and compare the two languages to identify the similarities and differences between them.
The importance of this study lies in the fact that it serves the Soqotri language, and enriches the Arabic library with research related to it, and reveals the points of agreement and disagreement in the studied methods between the two languages. The study aims to know the tools used for the studied methods in Soqotri to know the points of agreement between the two languages, and to seek to find a scientific study of the studied methods in the two languages.
The study reached results, including that Soqotri has its own tools for the studied methods, and that Soqotri can omit the tool of Interrogative, Calling, and called like Arabic, and we find that Soqotri has a smaller number of tools. The study adopted the descriptive and comparative approach, where the material is described and then the comparison between the two languages.

This paper sheds light on the various stages, reasons, goals and agendas that the discourse of Orientalism has gone through since early centuries onwards. It exposes the critical ideological hostility between the West and the East, as well as Christianity and Islam, which has resulted in the proliferation of countless fabrications, misconceptions and lies within the discourse of Orientalism considering the Orient. The paper attempts to prove that Orientalism is a solely Western style that has never ever been pure or realistic in representing the Islamic East. However, it has always been negative and unfair in dealing with everything related to the Orient. Indeed, it is used as both a preparation and justification for the Western military and ideological clashes and colonization on the Orient. This paper includes an introduction, two sections and a conclusion. The first section provides a detailed background about the various reasons behind the appearance and development of Orientalism throughout history while the following section tracks the origin of Orientalism from the past up to the present day. The paper concludes that Orientalism is not a new phenomenon and it cannot be understood as a homogeneous discourse, yet it has changed, transformed and mutated throughout history. It is the huge Western body of literary, historical or sociological texts that only aims at dominating, restructuring and having authority over the Orient.

This study addresses a critical gap in translation studies, particularly,literary works. It highlights the often neglected yet crucial aspects of phonic and graphic representation, demonstrating their significant impact on the translated text's quality. Through a meticulous descriptive and comparative analysis using discourse analysis methods, the study examines various translations of "The Lake." This analysis involves a detailed breakdown of the source text's stylistic choices, rhythmic patterns, figurative language, and cultural references. The study identifies the challenges faced by translators in preserving the poem's essence through the process of comparing. Furthermore, it underscores the limitations of machine translation in capturing these subtleties. While acknowledging the potential of machine translation for basic vocabulary and grammar, the study emphasizes the irreplaceable role of human translators. Their expertise in literary translation allows them to navigate the intricacies of style, tone, and cultural context, ensuring the translated text retains its intended emotional impact and resonates with the target audience. This analysis highlights the importance of a translator's mastery of both languages and a profound understanding of literary translation. Ultimately, the study reinforces the crucial role human translators play in bridging linguistic and cultural divides, ensuring accurate, evocative, and culturally competent translations.

This paper is aimed primarily at investigating the position of pragmatic competence in the five main models of communicative competence and its significant role in English language teaching. Pragmatic competence, as defined by LoCastro (2012: 307), is the "knowledge that influences and constrains speakers’ choices regarding the use of language in socially appropriate ways” and plays a vital role in cross-cultural communication. In the past few decades, the notion of pragmatic competence has attracted attention and gained in importance in terms of EFL teaching. All this has led to a shift from traditional language teaching approaches that focus on the linguistic forms rather than the pragmatic functions of sentences to communicative approaches that give priority to the functional aspects of language and thus aim to enable L2 learners to use that language effectively and appropriately as is required by the context where a given interaction is taking place. The usage of English, like that of any other language, is dictated by its own contextual norms, be it textual or socio-cultural ones. Thus, EFL learners need to be familiar with those norms should they want to avoid misunderstandings when communicating with native speakers. That is, effective and appropriate use of English necessitates the development of learners’ pragmatic competence to ensure a proficient use of it.

This research tends to reveal the nature of the work of the types of Semii-logical arguments in the correspondence of Imam Al-Mansur Billah Abdullah bin Hamza. It tries to show the extent of his ability to attract the recipient, motivate him to think and contemplate, and convince him to accept the desired results, and how he refuted and invalidated the opponent's arguments, or pushed him to be convinced? And made him submit and surrender to what he wants. The reasons for the research go back to the presence of the argumentative phenomenon in the correspondence of Imam Al-Mansur Billah Abdullah bin Hamza.
The importance of this research lies in the fact that it sheds light on the correspondence as a witness to the development of Arabic literature, and searches for the laws of literary discourse and their role in convincing recipients through the correspondence of Imam Al-Mansur Billah.
The researcher has adopted the descriptive approach, and the procedural steps of the pragmatic and argumentative theory, relying on the classification of Barlman and Tetkah in their book known as "The Classification of Argumentation, New Rhetoric".
The research consists of three sections: the first is a theoretical foundation, the second is semi-logical arguments that depend on logical structures, and the third is semi-logical arguments that depend on mathematical relations. The research ends with several results, the most important of which is that the correspondence of Imam Al-Mansur depended on semi-logical arguments that depend on logical structures such as the argument of contradiction and disagreement, and semi-logical arguments that depend on mathematical relations such as the argument of transitivity.

This study investigates the translation of similes in two Arabic versions of Ernest Hemingway’s Men Without Women, translated by Abdullah Fadhel Farea (2007) and Sameer Izzat Nassar (2003). Focusing on the cultural and stylistic importance of similes in Hemingway’s work, it examines the translation techniques used by each translator and evaluates their success in bridging linguistic and cultural differences.
Using Katharina Reiss’s functional model (2000), the analysis assesses how semantic, lexical, and stylistic elements affect the translation of similes. It examines strategies like figurative equivalence, literal translation, and adaptation, highlighting both successful and problematic examples. The study reveals that while both translators aim to preserve Hemingway’s vivid imagery, their approaches to cultural nuances differ.
The findings emphasize the importance of considering cultural context and audience expectations when translating similes to ensure both fidelity to the original text and resonance with the target readership.

This study aims to analyze the slogans chanted during Yemen’s 2011 events as a form of discourse with linguistic structures enriched by rhetorical techniques. These slogans reflect intentional language responses embedded with semantic weight, conveying issues that express the ideology of their creators and their desire to produce a public discourse that resists and opposes authoritative narratives. The study adopts public rhetoric as a procedural methodology, applying this modern critical theory to interpret, decode, and highlight the intended messages within these slogans and chants.
The topic of this research necessitates a division into two sections, prefaced by an introduction and followed by a conclusion. The first section presents a theoretical analysis, defining key terms and concepts relevant to the study, including slogans, chants, and public rhetoric. The second section comprises an applied analysis, examining slogans as eloquent responses that convey demands and issues filled with meaning and intent. The study concludes that chants are not merely spoken expressions but serve as a powerful tool for political change, encapsulating the demands and issues of the masses.

This paper outlines a strategic framework for teacher training and qualification as well as educational capacity building in the context of Sudan’s post-war recovery. Using a mixed-methods, multi-phase action research design, the study addresses the education crisis and suggests a solution through needs assessment, trauma-informed and peacebuilding curriculum, a Training of Trainers (ToT) model, and robust monitoring systems. Survey data collected from 300 teachers in Khartoum, Bahri, Omdurman (representing the epicentre of the conflict) reveal that 72% of participants experienced trauma, 81% seek emergency classroom management training, 63% are internally displaced persons (IDPs), and 88% have professional-growth motivation. It is hoped that the framework will help strengthen local educational institutions to ensure sustainable recovery and enable teachers to engage actively in social healing and peacebuilding. The paper also highlights the significance of education as a cornerstone of national reconciliation and long-term development.

This study aims to assess the quality of the Arabic translation of the novel The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger in light of Reiss's (2000) model of text typology, focusing on any mismatches between the original text and its Arabic version at the semantic, grammatical, stylistic, and lexical levels. To this end, the study adopts a qualitative analytical approach. Results revealed mismatches between the ST and the TT that appear to have distorted the intended messages of the ST. Ultimately, the quality statement indicates that the TT differs significantly from the original ST.

Caricature have occupied a unique position within the media landscape and have garnered significant attention in the discourse of journalism. They have emerged as one of the most important and popular forms of journalistic art, closely connected to readers and deeply intertwined with significant events and issues. Their ability to shape public opinion within any newspaper is particularly potent, owing to their concise yet impactful visual and humorous effects in presenting and critiquing various topics. In fact, their influence often surpasses that of thousands of words. As a result, cartoons have become closely associated with political aspects and major issues, prompting numerous political systems to harness them for their own purposes. They are regarded as a self-contained form of discourse, possessing inherent value and persuasive power that sets them apart from other forms of communication.
In view of this position occupied by the caricature, it has become a fertile field of interest for scholars in various fields, especially the influential ones. In view of its openness, plurality, and creativity, we find that its purpose lies in stimulating the recipient and modifying his behavioral direction by fixing or destroying some of his latent intellectual images, or building new intellectual images. It is one of the most important goals pursued by the argumentative discourse
Based on that, our aim in this research is to examine the key semiotic techniques adopted by persuasive discourse through the use of caricature in the Yemeni newspaper "Al-Thawra" during the period from 1990 to 2000. Through these techniques, the significance of caricature imagery as a persuasive technique becomes evident, highlighting its substantial importance in influencing and persuading public opinion.

This research aims to reveal the argumentativeness of the rhetorical image in imaginative debates due to its literary and argumentative value, and the ability of this rhetorical technique to present the abstract meaning sensually and visually and to give the discourse of imaginative debates a high degree of influence and persuasion. Based on the descriptive approach and the procedures of the deliberative approach, in analyzing the selected texts, the research will be distributed over three axes preceded by an introduction and followed by a conclusion. Before that, a brief definition of the concepts of the argumentative image and imaginative debates will be addressed. The first axis will include the argumentation of simile, the second the argumentation of metaphor, and the third the argumentation of metonymy. The research concludes with the most prominent results. The research concluded that the rhetorical image with its three mechanisms (simile, metaphor, and metonymy) contributed greatly to clarifying the beauty of the discourse of imaginative debates, played a persuasive and inferential role, and performed several argumentative functions, including clarification, approximation, evaluation, interpretation, negation, and affirmation.

The research deals with the cognitive efforts to see “Argumentation” according to the Tunisian critic and rhetorician Abdullah Sula in his two books “Argumentation in the Qur’an, and the Theory of Argumentation...Studies and Applications.” He examines Western theories of Argumentation and extracts from them what is appropriate for Argumentation in the Qur’an, absorbing the “stylistics” approach. The dimensions of argumentation were investigated through the word (lexicon), the sentence (structure), and the image, and it relied on pragmatics to obtain the rhetorical meaning. It combined Western language theories and the efforts of Arab linguists and commentators in dealing with the argumentation of the Qur’an, describing the argument of the Qur’an as the comprehensive argumentation that No theory can frame him, and unlike those who preceded him in this rhetorical research, he searches for the eloquence of influence and persuasion, in Quranic discourse, and not for the eloquence of “Nazm,” and this research monitors every vision, idea, or approach that contributed to shaping Abdullah’s research ability.

The concept of terrorism has been a topic of debate and controversy. This research paper addresses the terrorism presented by Sayyid Hussein Badr Addin Al-Houthi, focusing on the Quranic texts that discuss it. According to the Holy Quran to prepare against them whatever you are able of power and steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know but whom Allah knows and whatever you spend in the cause of Allah will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged[1]. Sayyid Hussien Al-Houthi identifies America and Israel as the main practitioners of terrorism against Arab states, particularly after the 11th September 2001 attacks on the United States by American Intelligence and Mossad. He expresses that Al-Qaeda, led by Osama bin Laden and his followers were used by America as a justification for controlling and occupying countries under the guise of counter-terrorism. He warns that America has spread a culture that deviates from the Quranic learning and idolizes Western culture. America attempts to prove, through social media and its affiliated organizations, that Muslims are terrorists. This leads to the promotion of the false idea that Islam is synonymous with terrorism, while in reality, it seeks to develop and liberate Arab countries from terrorism. The role of America as the political, military, and economic supporter of Israel's terrorism, which has resulted in the deaths of thousands of Palestinians, including women and children, should not be overlooked. Some Arab leaders have even normalized and made peace with Israel, despite the Holy Quran warning Muslims not to take the Jews and the Christians as allies, they are allies of one another, and whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is one of them, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people[2]. Therefore, Sayyid Hussein Al-Houthi emphasizes the importance of the slogan[3] including the hostility towards America and Israel and victory for Islam. American terrorists wage the brutal aggression against Yemen, resulting in the deaths of thousands of innocent women and children and the destruction of their homes. America fails to realize that its involvement in the United States-Saudi aggression has played a major role in awakening Muslims to the true nature of terrorism in their countries.

This research addressed the lexicon of death in Abdullah Al-Bardouni's poetry from a semantic perspective, considering that death was not a passing topic in his experience, but rather a central semantic structure created through intertwined verbal fields and symbolic images, and interacting dialectically with the lexicon of life. The research was limited to lexical analysis and semantic fields, where it analyzed the words and symbols employed in his poems within multiple fields, including: the field of tools of death, man, place and time, animal, and the field of verbs. The research reached several results, the most important of which were: the dominance of the lexicon of death over a wide area of the text - a systematic semantic transformation that made death a cultural and existential sign that was read, not just lived - a constructive dialectic between the lexicons of death and life

The present study is aimed at investigating the effectiveness of using the meta-cognitive strategies on Yemeni second-year university EFL students’ writing performance. It explored if there is a significant relationship between second-year students’ use of the meta-cognitive strategies and their writing performance. To achieve the objectives of the study and answer the research questions, the researchers adopted the quantitative approach with an experimental design. The study sample consisted of 60 EFL students from Sana’a University. They were equally divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group was taught writing skills using the meta-cognitive strategies, and the control group was taught writing skills using a product approach. The data were collected using pre- and post-tests to determine students’ performance in terms of writing skills. Results show that the total mean scores among the participants were 22.33 based on a five-point Likert scale. Furthermore, the results reveal that there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the four domains in the posttest in favor of the experimental group. This study ends with some recommendations for the university EFL learners in Yemen and presents some suggestions for further research.

This research aims to study the etymology of words for 'walking' and 'speed' in Yemeni dialects, using a descriptive-analytical methodology. The research is divided into an introduction and three main sections. The introduction outlines the research justification, significance, and methodology. The first main section covers words for 'walking' in two sub-sections: the first subsection addresses the words for 'walking' that align with Standard Arabic and words for 'walking' with origins in Standard Arabic. The second main section explores words for 'speed' in two sub-sections: the first investigates words for 'speed' that align with Standard Arabic, and the second studies the words for 'speed' with origins in Standard Arabic. The third main section examines words for 'going and coming' in two sub-sections: the first examines words for 'going and coming' that align with Standard Arabic, and the second explores the words for 'going and coming' with origins in Standard Arabic. The research concludes with the research findings and recommendations.

This research aimed to identify the phonetic differences that affect the written forms of names in Arabic and Persian. Given that names feature prominently in cross-linguistic interactions and are relatively resistant to distortion during language contact, a nuanced understanding of these verbal differences is crucial for non-native speakers. The study addresses the issue of inaccurate transcriptions and spellings of names when pronounced by non-native speakers.
The research adopted a descriptive analytical approach in data collection, description, and analysis to uncover the nature and causes of these verbal discrepancies, thereby drawing parallels between the two languages. The investigation focused on illustrative examples of verbal differences in a sample of Arabic and Persian names. In addition, the study examined names borrowed from other languages, highlighting the distinct ways Arabic and Persian adapt to these foreign terms. Further analysis encompassed vocabulary with similar written forms but different pronunciations.
The findings reveal that mental frameworks, socio-geographic contexts, and vocal apparatus variations contribute significantly to the verbal differences observed in the pronunciation of names. Notably, the vocal apparatus plays a crucial role in shaping the phonetic patterns of borrowed vocabulary, often undergoing adaptations not present in the native language. This, in turn, contributes to the inaccuracies encountered when non-native speakers attempt to transcribe spoken names.

Preferring one synonym to another is a daunting challenge for EFL learners. This corpus-based study aims at analyzing the frequency and genres of the English synonymous Verbs denoting change utilizing the corpus-based as well as the qualitative and quantitative methodology. The findings demonstrate that the target verbs in this study differed from one another in terms of their overall frequency in the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) to a great extent. From highest to lowest, the target verbs are ranked in COCA in this order, change, adjust, adapt, alter, and modify, respectively. Of the genre distribution, aside from change which tend to emerge in both formal and informal discourses, the other verbs have a propensity to appear most commonly in formal discourses and thus they are marked with high degree of formality. Additionally, formality of these verbs is confirmed by Coxhead’s (2000) except for adapt which is absent from Coxhead’s academic words though reported in this study to be most frequent in the academic texts of COCA. The specificities of these verbs enhance the claim that near-synonymous verbs cannot be used interchangeably in all contexts. Hence, course designers and teachers are recommended to utilize corpora to teach synonyms considering their frequency and genres as this information is overlooked by contemporary dictionaries

This research aims to provide a comprehensive framework for this science, as a new science and an important branch of applied linguistics, as this science is concerned with studying language and its relationship to society, and that studying language without referring to the social context is an effort that is not worth the effort, and the word has no meaning if isolated from this context, and sociolinguistics differs from general linguistics in that the latter is only concerned with the linguistic structure away from the social context, and the importance of the research lies in that it deals with aspects of this science starting from the definition and origin, as the relationship between language and society formed a motive for the emergence of sociolinguistics, as it deals with the fields of studies of this science for language, and passing through the objectives of this science that shows the impact of society on various linguistic phenomena and its importance and its relationship with some similar sciences and stating the most important factors that cause the impact of society on language and reaching the applied study of this science. The research attempts to answer the following questions: What is the limit of sociolinguistics? What is the importance of this science? What are the most prominent fields studied by sociolinguistics? What is the relationship between sociolinguistics, general linguistics and other sciences? What are the societal factors that affect language?
As for the research methodology, it is the descriptive analytical methodology, while the research plan came as follows: In the first section, I dealt with: defining science, its origins and its subject. As for the second section, I explained the fields of science and its objectives. In the third section, I explained its relationship with some sciences, with a statement of some social factors that affect language. As for the last section, I dealt with the part related to the political system in the letter of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) to Malik bin Al-Ashtar with an applied study.

This research aims to examine the linguistic inimitability in the verse endings of the Holy Quran to uncover their aesthetic and semantic dimensions, highlighting their role in enhancing rhythm within Quranic texts. It also investigates their contribution to achieving semantic objectives and guiding meanings, rendering the texts deeper and more profound. These verse endings merge eloquent structure, melodic phrasing, abundant significance, and precise connotation, acting as seals for meanings and signatures of eloquence.
The research adopts an analytical methodology that combines rhetorical, linguistic, and textual tools. The structure of the study includes an introduction outlining its rationale, significance, and methodology, followed by two main chapters. The first chapter addresses the theoretical framework, while the second presents an applied analysis of selected samples from various Quranic chapters.
The research concludes with a summary of findings and recommendations.

This study examines the rhythmic structure in Al-Ahwazi’s Al-Farā'id wa al-Qalā'id as a key stylistic component for building persuasive discourse. Using a stylistic approach, it analyzes how phonetic patterns create pragmatic meaning and guide the recipient’s emotional and cognitive responses in line with the text’s moral and reformative goals.
The study is divided into two sections: the first explores rhythm’s effect on persuasion, and the second analyzes its various patterns in the book. Findings show that rhythm is an intentional semantic structure, not merely amental. Individual rhythm—created through repetition, parallelism, and paronomasia—produces a verbal music that enhances meaning and its psychological impact. Composite rhythm, based on balance and contrast, organizes the argumentative framework and highlights value oppositions central to the reformative discourse. Thus, rhythm serves a profound persuasive function, harmonizing aesthetic elements with the intent to influence, making the book a model for texts that consciously use verbal music to serve their message.

The study aims to highlight the legacy of the most renowned Yemeni grammarians of the 8th century Hijri, to understand their research methodology, their positions on grammatical schools, the grammatical views they uniquely held, and their style in doing so.
The significance of the research lies in its focus on the grammatical positions and views of the most prominent Yemeni grammarians of the 8th century Hijri, as well as providing a concise explanation of the meaning of grammatical disagreement.
The research problem was the lack of sufficient studies that demonstrate the efforts of the most prominent Yemeni grammarians of the 8th century Hijri and the failure of these studies to highlight the unique positions they held in their grammatical opinions, to the best of the researcher's knowledge. The research problem can be summarized in several questions that were answered within the research, including: What is grammatical disagreement and what factors influence it? Who are the most famous Yemeni grammarians of the 8th century Hijri, and what are their positions on grammatical schools and issues of grammatical disagreement? What grammatical views did they uniquely hold?
The researcher adopted a descriptive methodology based on induction, description, and analysis. The structure of the study required it to be divided into several sections: an introduction containing the research plan, a preface, and three chapters. The first chapter focused on grammatical disagreement and the factors contributing to its emergence. The second chapter discussed the position of the most famous Yemeni grammarians of the 8th century Hijri on the grammarians of the Basra school. The third chapter covered the stance of the most famous Yemeni grammarians towards the grammarians of the Kufa school. The research concluded with a summary of the main findings, general recommendations, and a list of references.

This research discusses the problem of the standardization of Al-Hamza “glottal stop” between full pronunciation and elision in the early linguistic research. It reveals the connection between the problem of standardizing Al-Hamza and the assumed historical state of Arabic, and the hypothesis of common literary Arabic language, elucidating historical and cultural conditions necessary for the emergence of a standard language according to sociolinguistics. The research then presents the debate, critique and writing that Al-Hamza has provoked, as well as the criticism levelled at linguists, reciters, and eloquent Bedouin Arabs.It reveals the problem of Al-Hamza and its connection to the early historical state of Arabic, for the linguistic standard did not form instantly. The issue of Al-Hamza had a special status in that standard due to the variation among Arabic dialects. The conception of common literary Arabic hypothesis attributes the problem of Al-Hamza to the mistakes of the common people when attempting to emulate classical Arabic. Finally, the reasons why standard Arabic chose full pronunciation of Al-Hamza over elision are mentioned: the general state of Al-Hamza in the speech of Arabs, and the principle of avoiding ambiguity favoring full pronunciation.

This research examines the rhetoric and meaning of interrogative forms in Murtadah Abdul Salam Al-Haqeeqi's novel "The Journey of Al-Zahraa." This research examines the rhetoric and semantics of interrogative forms in the novel's text. The researcher relied on an analytical approach that traces these forms within the narrative context of the novel, revealing their artistic and psychological dimensions and their role in constructing meaning and escalating the event. The researcher divided the study into two main sections: The first section examines the semantic functions of interrogative forms related to the literal or direct meaning of the question, whereby the interrogative is understood to request information or answers about something unknown. The second section explores the rhetorical functions of interrogative forms, such as expressing bewilderment, denunciation, astonishment, suspense, or reporting, while demonstrating their impact on conveying the characters' states and attitudes. The research also highlights the close relationship between interrogative forms and external dialogue between characters, and internal dialogue (monologue), which reveals psychological and emotional conflict. The analysis revealed that the interrogative in the novel transcends its grammatical function to become a fundamental artistic tool, contributing to reader engagement, enriching the narrative intent, and enhancing the dramatic character of the text.

This research elucidates the historical conditions under which writing and Al-Dwaween (administrative registers) emerged in Arab civilization. It then discusses the decision to Arabize Al-Dwaween during the Umayyad era, the purposes behind this decision, and its impact on the enthusiasm for learning Arabic. The research examines reports indicating that caliphs and princes exercised linguistic oversight over al-kuttab (scribes), promoting or dismissing them based on their proficiency in Arabic. It highlights an ideological aspect within Arab culture that believed the speech of the elite should be free from the linguistic corruption common among the general populace. The research explores the interaction of Arabic scholars with the domain of writing and al-kuttab, detailing the works scholars directed towards this field and their complaints about al-kuttab's shortcomings in Arabic sciences. It explicates the linguistic topics that emerged in these works, which are sixfold: general linguistic knowledge, issues of orthography, matters of linguistic correction, linguistic knowledge related to writing, linguistic traditions connected to writing, and the introduction to rhetorical issues and their opposites. The study further demonstrates the al-kuttab's attention to rhetoric, which was considered one of the "tools of writing," and their role in developing rhetoric and their influence on literary prose. A dual-natured language emerged in the writing domain, fulfilling administrative requirements with a literary character.

This research aims to elucidate how the rules of Arabic inflection (I’iraab) contribute to highlighting the intended meaning in Surah Yusuf. It explores the varying ways in which meaning is emphasized through different inflectional patterns. Both descriptive and analytical methods were adopted, as they are suitable for such studies. The significance of this research lies in its analysis of the Quranic text to reveal the role of Arabic inflectional (I’iraab) rules in conveying the intended meaning. The reason for choosing this topic is the abundance of diverse and dynamic narrative in Surah Yusuf, which motivated the researcher to study the meaning through the rules of Arabic inflection (I’iraab). The scope of the research is limited to the Quran, specifically the verses of Surah Yusuf. The study involved a careful examination of these verses were their inflectional structures, as well as consulting works on Quranic inflection (I’iraab), interpretations, and Arabic grammar (Nahw) textbooks as needed.
The research is divided into three sections preceded by an introduction and followed by a conclusion. The first section delves into the concept of Arabic inflection (I’iraab), the second section explores the impact of accusative (nasb) cases on conveying meaning, and the third section examines the effect of various grammatical issues on meaning. The research concludes that Arabic inflection (I’iraab) serves to clarify the intended meanings conveyed by words, and that Arabic inflection (I’iraab) is a branch of meaning. The research highlights the significance of Arabic inflection (I’iraab) for distinguishing between meanings that are identical in form, and for identifying the predicate, which is the foundation of speech. It also demonstrates the benefits of Arabic inflection (I’iraab), including clarifying meaning, eliminating ambiguity, and enhancing expression. The research shows that both ancient and modern scholars have acknowledged that Arabic inflection (I’iraab) is not limited to words but also serves as an indicator of meaning. The study of Surah Yusuf reveals that the expression, clarification, and implication of meaning vary according to different inflectional patterns.

The study dealt with characterizing and analyzing of the root " ʾmn " in the inscriptions of Al-Musnad, to reveal its formulas and the connotations of these formulas through the context of the inscriptions, in order to show aspects of the convergence between the ancient Yemeni language and the Arabic language and its counterparts in other Semites. This study aims to prove that this language is of Arabic origin. And the origin is not a language that closes the understanding, and the researcher followed in this study the descriptive analytical approach without neglecting the aspect of comparison between the ancient Yemeni dialects and classical Arabic or other Semitic languages, or between them and the modern Yemeni dialects and the study was divided into two sections, preceded by a preliminary and the results reached by this study, including that this root was mentioned frequently in the inscriptions The ancient Yemeni form came in inscriptions dating back to the first millennium BC, and the study revealed the amazing richness of this root in semantic transformers and suggestive values, and that there are methods and expressions used in the ancient Yemeni language for this term, and similar ones were found in Arabic usage and in the Holy Qur’an.

This study explores the textual structure of Bashshār ibn Burd’s qaṣīda within an analytical framework grounded in New Historicism, as an approach capable of revealing the dimensions of identity conflict between the center and the subaltern. It re-interrogates cultural authority through a reading of the archive as a dynamic arena of conflict and negotiation, rather than a fixed repository of memory.
The study proceeds from the hypothesis that the archive, as a record of events and a space of power, is shaped by dominant forces that determine what is preserved and what is excluded. It draws on the theoretical insights of Jacques Derrida, Stephen Greenblatt, and Gayatri Spivak to demonstrate how Bashshār transforms his Persian archive into a tool of resistance against marginalization, reclaiming the voice of the Persian self in the face of ʿAbbāsid authority.
The analysis is structured around three textual trajectories:
The study suggests that Bashshār ibn Burd, through this poem, enacts a resistant act that destabilizes official narratives and reclaims a suppressed civilizational archive. The text thus shifts from mere invective to an ideological proclamation that reconfigures cultural roles and grants the subaltern the authority to deconstruct and reconstruct dominant discourse.

This research aims to study the morphosemantics of the two Surahs, Al-Infitar and Al-Inshiqaq, to reveal aspects of the Quranic morphological structure and its distinctive features, clarifying their semantics in the syntactic context. The descriptive-analytical method is employed, and the research is divided into an introduction and two main sections. The introduction outlines the research's rationale, significance, and methodology. The first main section covers the theoretical study in two sub-sections: the first is dedicated to defining the two Surahs of Al-Infitar and Al-Inshiqaq. The other sub-section is dedicated to introducing the disciplines of syntax and semantics. The second main section delves into the applied study in four sub-sections: sources, verbs, derivations (active participle, passive participle, intensive forms, adjective participle), and plurals. The research concludes with the research findings and recommendations.

This paper aimed to examine the relationship of women with the other and their voice in the contemporary Yemeni novel, from a socio-textual perspective, in four novels chosen as a sample for this investigation which are: Sana'i by Nadia Al-Kawkabani, A Land Without a Sky by Wagdi Al-Ahdal, American Coffee by Ahmed Zein, and It's the Sea by Ba’amer. The researcher focused in the study framework on the manifestations of the feminist and paternal sociolecte in the novels at the lexical and syntactic levels. The researcher also examined the narrative level on the modele actantiel and the conflict between feminist and paternal narrative programs, and the discourse of feminist sociolecte and the masculine’s in terms of connection and separation. The researcher also examined the manifestations of women’s voices in the contemporary Yemeni novel, which are four voices: the voice of the educated woman who rejects the existing situation, the voice of the educated woman who is reconciled with the existing situation, the voice of housewives, and the voice of the oppressed woman. The study concluded with the symbolic dimension of women in the contemporary Yemeni novel, in which they appear to be an objective symbol to the homeland

English requirement courses (ERCs) are crucial for developing undergraduate students’ skills in English at many Arab and international universities. This study investigated the status of ERCs in Yemen in light of similar Arab and international experiences as well as from the perspectives of teachers and students at Yemeni universities, highlighting the need for the transition towards outcomes-based instruction. The descriptive analytical method was adopted to examine the status of ERCs at Yemeni universities and then compare them to their Arab and international counterparts, using a checklist for the titles, credit hours, and number of ERCs. Furthermore, two questionnaires for teachers and students, covering content, teaching strategies and evaluation, were administered separately to samples of 24 teachers and 439 students, selected from 8 public and private universities. Results revealed that there is a mismatch between what is taught in ERCs and what is required by the labor market and students’ specific needs. ERCs seem to be content-based rather than outcomes-based. There is also inconsistency across ERCs in terms of target learning items, which may well be due to the absence of standard intended learning outcomes. To help improve ERCs at Yemeni universities, a proposed framework for ERCs learning outcomes along with a few recommendations were suggested

The current study aims to explore English expressions of gratitude that are used by Yemeni female speakers in female-female and female-male interactions at Sana'a University, Yemen. The participants of the study consisted of 230 undergraduate students (115 males and 115 females). The data of the study were collected through a Discourse Completion Test (DCT) for eliciting the speech act of gratitude. It included twelve situations that were analyzed by using SPSS descriptive statistics program. The data were analyzed according to Cheng's (2005) taxonomy of gratitude expressions. The results revealed that Yemeni female speakers in F-F and F-M interactions utilized twenty-four English expressions of gratitude with different expressions of politeness markers in interacting with each other in the twelve situations and with difference in their frequencies and percentages. The results obtained from the data analysis also showed that the most frequent preferred strategy by all the participants in all situations is "bald thanking or using the word "thanks"". Furthermore, it can be observed that Yemeni female speakers use both two strategies ("bald thanking or using the word "thanks"" and "thanking and stating the favor") of English expressions of gratitude more than other strategies, especially in F-M interactions more than in F-F interactions. The reason behind this is because Yemeni female speakers tend to express themselves in their daily interactions, especially in F-M interactions because females appreciate any favor or service men offer or do it for them, so when receiving help from others, they have to thank them. Besides, women with their nature are more polite and use more politeness strategies than men and this is related to religious factors and social rules and conventions in Yemeni society. It is recommended that English teachers should make learners aware of using more suitable English expressions of gratitude in various situations. Consequently, learners can select what gratitude strategy that is most appropriate or required in a given situation.
