From sense to reference
Past literature on rendering the Qur’an often focused on the transcreation of sense, a relation within language. By comparison, reference, a relation between language and the world, appears to have attracted much less attention, in spite of its great importance for the translation and interpretation of the Qur’an. This article addresses such a significant gap by examining the intricate process of (re)structuring and translating Qur’anic reference…
An Optimality-Theoretic Analysis of Final Long Vowel /a
This study examines the deletion of the third-person feminine long vowel /a:/ in Qassimi Arabic (QA), a Najdi dialect spoken in Saudi Arabia's Qassim region. The research employs Optimality Theory (OT) to analyze this phonological process, which has been overlooked despite its significance in Arabic dialectology. By investigating data from native QA speakers, the study identifies and evaluates the markedness and faithfulness constraints that gove…
Emphasis Spread in Zilfawi Arabic
The current study seeks to provide a phonological analysis of emphasis spread on adjacent segments in Zilfawi Arabic (ZA), one of the spoken dialects in Najd province in central Saudi Arabia, within the optimality theory (OT) framework. There is a shortage of studies that addressed this phonological phenomenon in Arabic dialects from the perspective of the OT. This study leads to deepening the knowledge of the phonological system of this dialect.…
Nasal Assimilation
Many Tajweed teachers struggle to teach the Tajweed to English speakers due to the learners’ difficulties with Arabic’s phonological system and the shortage of studies related to this area. The current paper aims to investigate the similarities and differences in nasal sounds’ assimilation between the Tajweed rules and the English language and to describe how they can be applied in teaching Tajweed to non-Arabic speakers. The authors applied a de…
Linguistic Dimensions of Branding
The purpose of this study is to investigate the development and meaning of morphological structures and the cultural importance of tearooms and coffeeshops' naming conventions. Over time, store names became bolder and less literal, more impactful and with symbolic meaning, as did the consumer favor and the branding technique. The research reveals that a store’s name plays a significant role in shaping the consumer perception about the brand, buil…
Shifts in Qassimi Arabic
This study investigates the evolution of the Qassimi Arabic (QA) in Qassim Province, Saudi Arabia, with a focus on the lexical changes that have occurred between the past and present forms of the dialect. The findings reveal a significant generational divide, with older speakers (70–75 years old) retaining traditional vocabulary and phonetic structures, while younger speakers (8–10 years old) increasingly adopt modern terms and simplified pronunc…
The interplay of voiceless and voiced sounds in Qabbani’s elegy immortalizing Balqis
The elegy of Balqis holds a significant place in contemporary Arabic poetry, renowned for its length and magnificence. Within its verses lie encrypted structures and enigmatic ideas, challenging literary scholars to decode its symbols. Yet it has received relatively little scholarly attention concerning phono-semantics. To address this gap, this descriptive-analytical study deciphered many of the symbols and words within poetic texts and a prosod…
Exploring the evolution of functional linguistics
The objective of this research is to establish a connection between Arabic theoretical linguistics and modern linguistics, taking a different approach from the common assumption that later theories are solely attributed to Arab grammarians and rhetoricians. To achieve this, the study will examine Arab linguistic achievements from a modern perspective and highlight commonalities and differences between past and present linguistic theories. Additio…
The Giver
Choosing appropriate reading material for language learners is not an easy task. It is necessary to keep in mind the specific purpose of the exercise and that the material chosen must support that purpose. Often, these goals will include developing fluency, increasing vocabulary knowledge, and increasing the rate at which vocabulary grows. One of the texts and novels commonly used for extensive reading in high intermediate level English as a Seco…
Exceptional Arabic Diminutive Forms of Nouns with [aa]
Most diminutive forms in Arabic adhere in their derivation to certain simple phonological and morphological processes without any complications. However, there are exceptions to be found, including diminutive forms of nouns with [aa] in which the segment [w] surfaces. Using Optimality Theory (OT) as a framework and using syllable weight as a base of analysis, this study aims to provide an accurate explanation of such phenomena. This work will sho…
