Address forms in Egyptian vernacular and their English equivalence: A translation-oriented study

Subtitling Taboo Expressions from a Conservative to a More Liberal Culture: The Case of the Arab TV Series Jinn
Subtitling involves constraints about differences between cultures. This requires a set of translation strategies, especially when subtitling from relatively conservative to more liberal cultures. This study explores subtitlers’ strategies when translating the Jordanian Arabic vernacular series Jinn into English. Jinn has been selected because it’s Netflix’s first Arabic-Jordanian series containing explicit scenes and inappropriate language. Furt…

As there has been a change in face-to-face teaching methods, there have also been parallel changes in student evaluation and assessment plans or strategies during the COVID-19 era. This study investigates how COVID-19 affected online testing in higher education institutions in Jordan. For this purpose, the researchers developed a five-construct L…

Film translation has become a worldwide field in which subtitlers translate and transfer language and style from one culture into another. Subtitling has always been affected by cultural elements. The purpose of this study was to find out how professional subtitlers differ from fansubbers when dealing with such expressions concerning the strategies that both groups use to subtitle these expressions. To achieve the goals of this study, the researc…
Establishing a Covid-19 lemmatized word list for journalists and ESP learners
The aim of this research is two-fold; first, to explore the most frequent COVID-19 inspired words in medical news reporting contexts, and second, to classify them into different categories. This paper adopts a corpus-based approach to build a lemmatized academic word list (AWL) inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic. Factiva was used to retrieve the pandemic-related articles published in News Rx from January 1 - October 31, 2020. A total number of 18,…

Subsequent to watching the series and examining the source script in the Jordanian vernacular along with the MSA subtitles, …

Code-Alteration among Arab College Students
The present study investigates Jordanian university students' attitudes toward code-switching (CS), and code-mixing (CM), to find out when and why they code-switch and the most frequent English expressions that they use in Arabic discourse. For this purpose a three-section questionnaire was developed and distributed to students (N = 352). Section 1 elicited biographical data; Section 2 elicited students' attitudes toward CS/CM in relation to Engl…
