Couplet as a Translation Procedure of Realia in Jordanian Novels Into Spanish
Translating realia from Jordanian Arabic into Spanish has tremendous challenges and requires a culturally sensitive approach to preserve authenticity and contextual meaning. Realia, which encompass material elements of Jordanian culture, represents a rich and a complex layer of the language that goes beyond words.

Oaths in Jordanian Arabic
This study attempts to investigate Jordanian oaths from a sociocultural and translational perspective. The study shows that Jordanian oaths are insufficiently explored from such a perspective. The paper uncovers that Jordanian oaths have many formulas and are taken in many social and cultural aspects such as religion, body parts, honor, headdress, curse, and Arabic coffee, among many other things. In order to conduct the study, examples resemblin…
Connotations of Fewness and Muchness in Arabic

In order to conduct the study, some Qur’anic verses containing the two items are chosen, and two translations of the verses, English and Spanish, are selected to evaluate the portrayal of the connotative meanings of the t…

The Reflection of Connotative Meanings of Insan in the Qur’an
This study aims to investigate the translation of connotative meanings of insan in the Qur’an, from Arabic into English and Spanish. Connotative meanings pertained to insan in this religious text are negative and hold unfavorable implications such as denial, stinginess, weakness, and hastiness when talking about his behaviors. For ordinary readers, these negative connotations pass unnoticed in the source language and the target language. In Arabi…
White as a Symbol of Death and Eternity in Darwish’s and Lorca’s Poetry
This article investigates the symbolism of white color in the works of the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish and the Spanish Federico Garcia Lorca. The white color is exceptionally employed in their poetry, which is different from its normal symbolism in Arabic and Spanish cultures. In their poetry, the white color is used to symbolize a duality of opposites, death as an end to mortal life and eternity as an infinity phase of afterlife. This parad…
Jordanian Folkloric Songs in Translation
Folkloric song-translation is a research area that diverges acutely from the centre of interest of interlingual-intercultural transfer in general, and Arabic-English translation studies in particular. This paper attempts to shed light into Abdu Mousa's culture-bound songmarren wa ma ma'hin hada(they have passed by without a company), as an instance of the challenges that folkloric songs may pose in translation, and how, when translating between c…

This study, the first of its kind, investigates various problems and inadequacies pertinent to the subject under discussion. Shop signs are selected here from a number of heterogeneous cities, and the translation errors therein…
