Audiovisual Translation (AVT) studies have thus shifted focus to examine how such multimodal orchestration and meaning shifts are captured and transferred from one culture to another. Songs’ AVT in animated musicals imposes (non)verbal constraints on translators who have to adapt/adjust to transfer not only…
Avatarian embodiment in Indigenous Futurisms 4D: The intersemiosis of intercultural encounters
Drawing on VR affordances and its relevant discourse of embodiment, immersion and engagement, Indigenous Futurisms (IF) challenges mainstream stereotypes of indigenous cultures. This article explores how the VR movie Crow: The Legend mediates an intercultural experience of IF. The framework proposed for understanding the virtually-mediated IF intercultural experience is grounded in the integration of SF-MDA and postphenomenology. The suggested th…

Foreign language anxiety (FLA) has been a perennial concern in language learning, as foreign language (FL) learners often communicate feelings of anxiety, stress, or nervousness. This study explored the role of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in speaking practice for FLA management of 48 undergraduate participants in an EFL class in Egypt. An eight‐week, quasi‐experimental pretest–posttest design examined learner anxiety levels using a …

The findings reveal that the production of these images dep…

A corpus of 110 questionnaires, including almost 85 captioned selfies, was surveyed as multimodal utterances. In do…
The synergy of topoi and socio-cognition in ideology construction and identity reformation: War on terror discourse
Based on 29 Armed Forces' statements produced on the Comprehensive Counterterrorism Operation of Sinai 2018, this case study argues a consequential faculty and a constitutive functionality of war on terror discourse in reproducing social national identity. Examining an under researched discourse, this paper claims an underlying ‘crowd discursive manipulation' as a function of this discourse. In doing so, it contends a delicate reformulation in th…
