Interactive resemiotization and Sacred Timespace
The International Fair and Museum of the Prophet’s Biography employs immersive, technologically enabled multimedia to depict socio-historical moments from the life of Prophet Muhammad and his companions in Medina (formerly Yathrib) following the sacred event of hijrah . Informed by this, the study develops a tripartite theoretical framework to analyze these depictions. Data are drawn from selected exhibits, including representations of ancient Me…
Evaluating the BBC’s L2 approach to teaching English consonants online
The vast majority of online L2 teaching platforms have always remained preoccupied with digitalising demonstrable pedagogic practices that facilitate the learners’ comprehension of linguistic input on the digital screen. This is particularly observable in the field of L2 phonetics where instructors’ performance (vocalic, facial, and bodily) typically reflects such pedagogic practices based on their theoretical knowledge of the field. However, it …
Unravelling the Intra-actional Postdigital Temporality of Touristscapes
Appified surveillance
Locative media in the context of travel apps alter the representations of space. However, locative media technologies, more specifically travel apps, do not neutrally mediate travelscapes. Rather, they produce a complex surveillance apparatus in which users and the interface algorithm interactionally assembled. To this end, the study argues that travel apps stand as assemblage interventions which regulate the accessibility of travelscapes and rec…
The spatiotemporal constitution of Dubai as a semiotically assembled touristscape
Mobile technologies mark an increasing construct of heterogeneous semiotic resources which coexist in a networked symmetrical interrelations. This area of research is still understudied, especially in terms of demonstrating how app-mediated touristscapes are co-told, transduced, and augmented by networked assemblage between participants and mobile interfaces. Drawing on a pragma-semiotic approach, the present study aims to investigate the spatiot…
Towards a Multimodal Hermeneutic Model
This study proposes a Multimodal Hermeneutic Model (for short, MHM) as a methodology that extends the analytic scope of Ricoeur’s (1973, 1976, 1981) classic hermeneutic theory of text interpretation towards examining multimodal texts. The model has been empirically tested by examining the advertising discourse order of ‘Saudization’ as channelled via the Saudi Uber Blog’s multimodal text. A twofold social semiotic praxis has been theoretically in…
Enchronic cultural discourse analysis
Calendrical events can conflate the political with the popular, for example, merging national identity with that of a political community, reflecting characteristics of glocalism. This article seeks to probe into Saudi national identity as emerging in the socio-political context of the calendrical event of Saudi Founding Day. Theoretically grounded in Shi-xu's cultural approach to discourse (CAD), it adopts a methodological approach called Enchro…
The Constitution of Dubai’s Mobile-App-Mediated Spatiotemporal Glocalization
The present study proposes the notion-complex of “spatiotemporal glocalization” as a potentially postdigital phenomenon inhering in the touristscape representations mediated by mobile apps, with an analytic focus on the Dubai Travel mobile app. An integrative tripartite approach has been adopted with three theoretical models at work: (1) Don Ihde’s postphenomenological perspective as reconcilable with Roudometof’s model of refracted glocalities; …
Unpacking the Semantics of Coronaviruses’ “Referent Things”
The current study seeks to unpack the corpus-driven semantics of the “referent things” underlying the use of the lexical item coronaviruses in the data of The Coronavirus Corpus [Davies, Mark. 2019-. The Coronavirus Corpus. https://www.english-corpora.org/corona/]. Drawing on the Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) Model of the Cardiff Grammar, a concordance-bound analysis has been conducted on the item coronaviruses as expounding the structural…
Cross-textual reconceptualisation of the deictic space of “victory” in political discourse
The present study propounds the notion-complex of cross-textual reconceptualisation as a cognitive-linguistic output of applying Paul Chilton’s (2013, 2014, 2017) model of Deictic Space Theory (DST) to textual practices drawn from the broad domain of political discourse. The DST model has operated methodologically towards conducting a cognitively oriented political discourse analysis of the two victory speeches produced by Donald Trump and Joseph…
A methodology for Qur’anic lexical translation
The present study propounds a methodology for the translation of Qur’anic lexis in a way that synergizes semantic preference, discourse prosody, and para/intertextuality. Towards the validation of this methodology, the Qur’anic lexical item آيـة ( āyah ) is investigated at two levels: (a) the intertextual level of the semantic preferences emerging in the various co-texts of āyah inside the Qurʼan and (b) the paratextual level of the overall disco…
Towards a discourse-semantic approach to visual narrative analysis
The present study propounds a novel discourse-semantic approach that problematizes the social semiotic analysis of visual narrative in two respects: (i) the lack of a model that can explain the plurifunctional structure of visual acts of communication in general and (ii) the failure to provide the deep structure underlying the characters and/or objects in visual narrative in particular. Redressing these two shortcomings, the approach is methodolo…
Footing and Speech Acts in the Qurʼanic Dialogue of Allah and Iblīs
This study seeks to examine the interface potentially holding between footing and the speech acts performed in the main Qurʼanic dialogue of Allah and Iblīs (Q15:32-43). The study utilizes a synthetic approach that combines two theoretical strands: (i) Erving Goffman’s (1979, 1981) interaction model of footing as orchestrated by the speaker roles of animator, author, and principal; (ii) Searle’s (1976) classification scheme of illocutionary acts …
Collocational semiosis in the academic discourse of the Corpus of Contemporary American English (Coca)
The present study investigates the collocation-induced semiosis of the linguistic sign AFRICA as being used in the academic section of the Corpus of Contemporary American English (known as COCA) (Davies, Mark. 2008. The Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA): one billion words, 1990-present. Available online at https://corpus.byu.edu/coca/ ). Drawing on a hybrid theoretical framework, the study utilizes Charles Peirce’s (1931–58) semiotic…
Whose face to be saved? Mubarak’s or Egypt’s? A pragma-semantic analysis
The 25th of January, 2011 witnessed a wave of political unrest all over Egypt, with repercussions that have re-shaped the future of contemporary Egypt. For the first time in the modern history of Egypt since the 1952 Nasserite revolution, grass-root protestors went to streets chanting slogans against the military regime headed by the (since then ex-) President of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak. This placed the then regime, as well as its mainstay, the Nati…
Decoding the socio-political meanings of Presidential “I” in Mubarak’s last presidential speech
This paper seeks to explain the socio-political meanings of the deictic centre “I” in Mubarak’s last presidential speech on 10 February 2011. Crucially, the whole speech thematically revolves around such a deictic centre whose pragma-semantic gravity is well worth a thorough linguistic research, so that the following overarching research question can be addressed: what are the socio-political meanings pertaining to the pronoun “I” in Mubarak’s la…
The rhetoric of collocational, intertextual and institutional pluralization in Obama's Cairo speech
This article proposes a novel discourse-analytical approach that explores Obama's rhetoric of pluralization in his Cairo speech on 4 June 2004. The approach eclectically combines both quantitative corpus and qualitative discourse-analysis methods. Three aspects of analysis are at play. First is the collocational aspect capturing the lexico-grammatical (ideational and evaluative) meanings associated with the political and social actors nominated, …
Ideological collocation and the recontexualization of Wahhabi-Saudi Islam post-9/11
This study proposes what is termed a ‘methodological synergy’ (Baker et al., 2008) of corpus linguistics and critical discourse analysis (CDA) for exploring how clashing ideologies have been actualized at collocation level across opposing discourses on Wahhabi-Saudi Islam/Wahhabism since 9/11. The discursive competition over Wahhabi-Saudi Islam reached a new extreme in the USA, when the 9/11 attacks called attention to ‘Islamic puritanical moveme…
