Exploring the impact of Artificial Intelligence on students' skills for sustainable development in education
Introduction In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into education is increasingly inevitable. AI has the potential to improve educational quality and, in turn, contribute to sustainable development. This study investigates the effects of selected AI tools; Grammarly, ChatGPT, QuillBot, Textero AI, and ChatPDF, on the quality of education and examines students' perceptions of their inf…
Historicity of Oppressive Power and Identity
This comparative study between Orwell’s Animal Farm (AF) (1945) and Abulhawa’s Mornings in Jenin (MIJ) (2010) aims to underscore the dynamics of victimhood and oppression, emphasizing how the oppressed can switch roles and become the oppressor due to complex political, ontological and psychological mechanisms. Fanon’s analysis of the collective consciousness of the victim and the oppressor helps to clarify the underlying structures that drive the…
Post-Editing a Google Translated Output
The present empirical study reports on an experiment in which 20 participants (actual job applicants) were asked to post-edit a 394-word legal Google translated text (GTT) to investigate the type of post edits done in relation to the quality of the product as assessed by the recruitment test assessors in the translation service provider. For the purposes of the empirical research, participants were categorized in two groups; translators with prac…
Unveiling the New Frontier
This study evaluates the aptitude of ChatGPT for Arabic-English machine translation. The main objective of this research is to scrutinize the quality of ChatGPT's translations and compare its performance against machine translation systems, such as Google Translate, which are intricately tailored for translation purposes. In addition, the study seeks to investigate the potential integration of ChatGPT into translation workflows. Furthermore, we a…
Exploring Al-Mutanabbi’s Poetic Duality
This study conducts a thorough analysis of Abi Al-Tayyib Al-Mutanabbi's poem 'My Heart Is a Flame' through the philosophical lens of German thinker Friedrich Nietzsche. It emphasizes Nietzsche's concept that superior humans are distinguished by their might. The research seeks to challenge the prevailing belief, supported by writers like Taha Husein, Blachere, and Abdulla Al-Ghuthami, that Al-Mutanabbi was a hypocritical, exploitative, and excessi…
The Textual vs the Contextual
This article reads Love Again (1992), the last poem written by contemporary Palestinian poet Walid Saif based on Heidegger’s concept of the Dasein as detailed in Being and Time and his concept of art as detailed in “The Origin of the Work of Art” as well as in other of his works. In Love Again “togetherness,” which is the essence of the Dasein, dissolves completely into the kind of being of “the Others”. Heidegger’s definition of “the truth of be…
Uncovering the Norms of Subtitling Taboo Language Into Arabic
Subtitling of obscene language has been the subject of extensive study in the field of audio-visual translation. Nevertheless, most studies have primarily focused on collecting quantitative and qualitative data concerning translation strategies, often overlooking the critical dimension of subtitling norms. Attempting to discern these norms presents substantial methodological challenges, as they are not readily observable. This research addresses …
A split morphosyntactic analysis of diminutives in two Arabic varieties
Contra the literature on Arabic prosodic morphology where templatic diminutive morphemes are often regarded as inflectional, this research paper argues for a distinction between their inflectional and derivational function in two Arabic varieties, i.e. Standard Arabic (SA) and Jordanian Arabic (JA), by offering a split analysis for these morphemes. It is demonstrated that the diminutive template C1u.C2ajC3 in SA and C1aC2.C2uuC3 in JA may enter t…
From the Margins to the Center
This study analyzes the Al-Moallaqa, a poem traditionally hung on the walls of the Kaaba, the holiest shrine for Muslims, by the pre-Islamic poet Antara bin Shaddad, through the lens of Hegel’s Master-Slave Dialectic. It explores the status of marginal identity, focusing on the poet’s portrayal of the suffering endured due to slavery, humiliation, and deprivation of honor in a tribal society that devalues the enslaved. It also examines self-aware…
Complexity in Subtitling
Subtitling approaches are constantly changing based on the factors surrounding their implementation. This qualitative secondary study seeks to explore the factors that influence subtitlers’ decision in translating English to Arabic sensitive audiovisual material. This study adopts complexity theory to unveil the intricate interplay of factors that influence these decisions. We move beyond a linear cause-and-effect model, exploring how social medi…

Feminism and popular culture in the Lebanese series “Half Past Five”
Half-Past Five (Khamseh w Nos) (KN) is a Lebanese series that achieved a high viewership rate in the Arab world when premiered during Ramadan 2019 on widely watched Arabic television stations. Although KN focuses on a woman’s (Bayan’s) philanthropic work, achievements, and sufferings in a male-dominated space, we contend that the series still permeates with strong patriarchal tendencies. The lack of a collective feminist consciousness and the pre…

Neural Machine Translation
The neural machine translation (NMT) revolution is upon us. Since 2016, an increasing number of scientific publications have examined the improvements in the quality of machine translation (MT) systems. However, much remains to be done for specific language pairs, such as Arabic and English. This raises the question whether NMT is a useful tool for translating text from English to Arabic. For this purpose, 100 English passages were obtained from …
Twitter Use and its Impact on Public Attitudes Toward Bank Robberies in Jordan
This study examines the influence of Twitter as a social media network on public punitive attitudes toward bank robbers in Jordan. After fifteen bank robberies were committed in Jordan over two weeks in 2018, social networks were flooded with comments from Jordanians expressing their attitudes and opinions about the incidents. Individuals' tweets from January to August 2018 were analyzed in order to reveal people's attitudes toward the crimes, ex…
Network and Cooperation in the Field of Cultural Production
Translation is a social practice and cultural product practiced by agents and produced by institutions in different subjects; hence, it can be studied from various sociological perspectives. This study explores translation activity through a network of various human and non-human agents by adopting two sociological theories: Bourdieu’s (1993) theory of cultural production and Latour’s (1996) Actor-Network Theory (ANT). The study demonstrates how …
