Pour une sémiotique d’un discours préfaciel
Cet article entreprend de jeter un éclairage sur le préambule du Collier de la colombe de Raja Alem. Dans le cadre de ce qu’on appelle la sémiotique de l’objet , ce discours préfaciel interpelle quant à son rapport au texte préfacé, ses caractéristiques, sa construction, son écriture et ses composantes. Autrement, il s’agit d’un ensemble de signes (indices, symboles) porteurs de significations. Au-delà des marques formelles et de leurs significat…

Cet article examine la traduction des éléments vestimentaires du français vers l’arabe dans le roman Walaande, l’art de partager un mari de Djaili Amadou Amal. En mobilisant une approche sémiotique, l’étude met en évidence les enjeux culturels et identitaires du vêtement en tant que système de signes et vecteur d’expression sociale. L’analyse des stratégies de traduction employées – notamment l’approximation, l’adaptation, le maintien, l’explicat…
The Revolutionary as a Translator
Drawing on translation theory, more specifically the narrative approach, as well as recent re-readings of Frantz Fanon’s legacy that assess his stance toward religion from a more dialectical perspective, this study demonstrates how translation and Islam are central to his works produced during his involvement in Algeria’s war of independence. By triangulating Fanon’s texts, Algerian resistance praxis, and the text of the Qur’an, the analysis reve…
Neural Machine Translation of Arabic to English Legal Texts Using Trados Studio
This article examines the efficiency and consistency of Trados Studio in Arabic-English legal translation by analyzing the post-editing practices of 15 female Saudi translation students. The legal texts used are moderately complex, laden with Saudi-specific legal terminology and Islamic rules, sourced from Adel Azzam Saqf Al-Hait's "The Reliable Guide to Legal Translation" (2012). The Trados Studio Machine Translation Post-Editing Questionnaire (…
A Comparative Study of the Lexical Ambiguity of Arabic, English, and French in Natural Language Processing
Ambiguity in some syntactic structures of the same language has always posed problems to the human translator and to machine translation. These problems become more complex for the Machine Translation of genetically unrelated languages such as Arabic, English and French. Arabic Lexical ambiguity in Natural Language Processing (NLP) also poses problems when the semantic fields of Arabic words differ from those of English for instance. This often o…
Language Attitudes and Ethnic Language Loss in Algeria
This article surveys language use in the city of Oran, Algeria. It aimed to study the language attitudes of a small community of Chaoui speakers towards their language with the other languages spoken in the city, namely Standard Arabic, Algerian Arabic, and French. The results showed that though the Chaoui speech community is still emotionally attached to its ethnic language and considers it part and parcel of its identity, the Chaoui language is…
A Semantic Review of Qur’ānic Near-Synonyms, English and French Translations
This study examines the nuances among the chosen near-synonyms and the extent to which the translators considered such nuances in the selected translations of the Qur’an. It seeks to identify the meanings of two sets of near-synonyms in their Qur’anic contexts based on the Qur’ānic exegeses. It also highlights the differences in meaning that exist among these near-synonyms and the extent to which the semantic differences among those near-synonyms…
Effects of pre-editing operations on audiovisual translation using TRADOS
Neural Machine Translation (NMT) is a revolutionary innovation that has had a significant impact not only on the translation industry but also on translation studies. This technology is creating new opportunities for shaping identities and generating new knowledge and perspectives. This led researchers to undeniably and increasingly conduct studies to improve NMT performance. These studies involve assessing the quality of the output, determining …
The Translation of Selected Cultural Items in Al-Nawawi’s Forty Hadiths
Cultural words usually pose some challenges to translators, especially when they translate texts into languages which are culturally different. This study investigates the translation of cultural items in The Forty Hadiths by Imam Al-Nawawi. It adopted the qualitative approach for selecting and analyzing the translation of culturally-bound items of the selected Prophet Mohammed’s hadiths posted on the Web by Sunnah.com. Moreover, it used Lambert …
Recherche cognitive et traduction automatique en jurilinguistique
De par ses caractéristiques morpho-phonologiques, morphosyntaxiques, lexicales et autres systèmes et sous-systèmes de son fonctionnement, la langue arabe représente un système de non-concaténation (ou non-enchaînement des morphèmes). Elle diffère dans ce sens des langues Indo-européennes - à systèmes de concaténation - et demeure pour ainsi dire, une langue assez complexe à gérer dans le domaine du Traitement Automatique des Langues(TAL). Ceci, s…
Teaching Speaking to Computer Science Students in the Algerian Context
This paper is an attempt to shed the light on the teaching of the oral skill to ESP students in general, and more particularly to Computer Science students at a university level. In fact, what is mostly important is to understand to what extent oral proficiency is relevant for ESP students who are supposed to interact orally in seminars and conferences and be able to suggest some oral activities which could be of interest for an ESP teacher at th…
