A corpus-based study of English editorials
This study investigates the linguistic features of newspaper editorials written by Arab writers for the Jordan Times, Arab News, Al-Ahram, and Morocco World News. It compares them with editorials from The Guardian. The study employed a multidimensional analysis (MDA) approach to examine patterns in syntactic complexity and metadiscourse. This study analyzes a corpus of 1,500 English newspaper editorials authored by Arab writers for The Jordan Tim…
Online learning amidst crisis
In light of the challenges and crises the world is facing, the usage of technology has a significant impact on students’ perceptions and learning experiences. This study investigates the perceptions of Gazan university students toward online learning in the context of an ongoing crisis. Using a qualitative thematic analysis methodology, this study conducted semi-structured interviews with a random sample of fifteen graduate students (eight female…
A Dialectal Acoustic Comparison of Vowels in Jordanian Arabic
This study investigates the acoustic correlates of long and short vowel contrast for two dialects spoken in the northern part of Jordan. More specifically, it describes the vowels uttered in a connected speech by the Urban Speakers (referred to as 'Madani Dialect,' henceforth ‘MD’) and Rural Speakers (referred to as 'Fallaħ Dialect,' henceforth 'FD'). Three males and two females from each region uttered 40 words. The vowel inventory for both dial…
An Optimality-Theoretic Account of Superheavy Syllables in Urban Irbid Dialect
This study investigates the distribution of superheavy syllables in Urban Irbid dialect (UID), revealing their occurrence in both non-final and final word positions. We argue that word-final superheavy syllables are characterized by an extrametrical or weightless final consonant. This extrametricality is proposed as a mechanism to satisfy constraints against trimoraic syllables (*3μ) and final consonants bearing weight (*FINAL-μ-C), albeit at the…
A Comparative Study of AI-Powered Tools for Arabic-English and English-Arabic Translation
This study is a quantitative analysis that investigates and compares the quality level of Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) tools, Neural Machine Translation (NMT) systems, and Large Language Models (LLMs) against each other and how well they can perform on translation tasks from English into Arabic and vice versa, in comparison to human translator. By utilizing a Bilingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU) and comparing seven translation platforms,…
