Nicknames of Kuwaiti Teenagers
Although nicknaming among teenagers and nicknaming among Arab adults has been studied, nicknaming among Arab teenagers has not. Nicknames of their peers were collected from Kuwaiti teenagers, and Kuwaiti undergraduates judged the nicknames as derogatory, affectionate or neutral.

Until comparatively recently it was not technically possible to send Arabic text messages using the Arabic alphabet and t…

Informal observations are reported that indicate that this might present a disturbing predicament since it requires of such students an appreciation of values and traditions which are contrary to those upheld in their religion and practised in their society. Since, it is argued, this could have an…
