Unspoken Scars
This study followed a systemic functional linguistics approach to demonstrate how war trauma is ideologically represented in Kevin Powers’ The Yellow Birds (2012). It aimed at exploring how Powers’ lexicogrammatical choices reveal the psychological, emotional, and social consequences of war as experienced by American soldiers in Iraq in 2003. Drawing upon Halliday’s ideational (transitivity), interpersonal (modality and power dynamics), and textu…
Class Identity Signaling through the Strategic Rebranding of Traditional Egyptian Food-Related Terms on Digital Platforms
This study investigates the way re-branding traditional Egyptian food-related terms is strategically used by an emerging socio-economic class to assert their class identity in digital milieus. Specifically, it analyzes the strategies employed for the Englishization and hybridization of culinary culture and examines the underlying socio-cultural motivations and dynamics driving such an innovative linguistic practice. Drawing on insights from socio…
Translating or Stealing? Probing the Limits of Cross-lingual Plagiarism Detection Systems in Literary Texts
This study compares three plagiarism detection systems (Rabin-Karp, KNN, and Word2Vec) to measure their effectiveness in detecting cross-lingual plagiarism in Arabic literary texts translated from English. The dataset consisted of an Arabic translation of Daly Walker’s ‘I am the Grass’ (2012) conducted by the authors and evaluated by three translators with experience of more than ten years. It is divided into 60 percent directly translated, 30 pe…
The China–Iran strategic deal and CPEC
This article argues that China is advancing its relations with Iran and Pakistan based on pragmatic balancing, a key component of soft balancing, to safeguard and advance national self‐interest. China's relationship with Pakistan is based on shared interests to counter the Indian hegemony in South Asia and end the Chinese energy security dilemma through an overland route of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The bilateral relationship h…

Exploring the efficacy and reliability of automatic text summarisation systems
This study compared the salient features of the three basic types of automatic text summarisation methods (ATSMs)—extractive, abstractive, and real-time—along with the available approaches used for each type. The data set comprised 12 reports on the current issues on automatic text summarisation methods and techniques across languages, with a special focus on Arabic whose structure has been largely claimed to be problematic in most ATSMs. Three m…

This study explores the representation of COVID-19, Swine flu, and Monkey pox in the Arab Muslim preachers’ discourses on Twitter and Facebook. The Muslim preachers’ discourses remain one of the influential discourses that informs the ideology of its believe…
Exploration of EFL Freshman Law Students’ Attitudes on Telegram Messenger Usability in a Legal Terminology Course
In recent years, there has been an increasing tendency for educational institutions and EFL instructors to integrate social media platforms in English language learning environments. The hypothesis is that social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, and Telegram, have positive impacts on the development of reading, writing, and communication skills, as well as the vocabulary development of EFL students. Despite the prolific literature on…
Contributions of E-Portfolios Assessment to Developing EFL Learners’ Vocabulary, Motivation, and Attitudes
A great deal of studies have explored the effects of electronic-portfolios (e - portfolios) on various measures of language learning, including writing and speaking in English. However, the effects of e-portfolios on vocabulary, motivation, and attitudes of EFL learners have remained unexplored. Thus, this study aimed at disclosing the effects of e-portfolios on Afghani EFL learners’ vocabulary, motivation, and attitudes. For this purpose, after …
Localization Quality Assessment for More Reliable E-Commerce Applications in Arabic
E-commerce software and applications are mainly designed to let business go globally with less cost and higher accessibility. The localization of such software and websites into several languages is intended for reaching the largest number of consumers through minimizing the impact of linguistic, cultural, and technical barriers. Such barriers are assumed to affect the quality of localization and accordingly the reliability of the e-commerce soft…
Lexical Ambiguity in Arabic Information Retrieval
In recent years, both research and industry have shown an increasing interest in developing reliable information retrieval (IR) systems that can effectively address the growing demands of users worldwide. In spite of the relative success of IR systems in addressing the needs of users and even adapting to their environments, many problems remain unresolved. One main problem is lexical ambiguity which has negative impacts on the performance and rel…
A Sociopragmatic Analysis of Women and Gender Roles in John Galsworthy’s Forsyte Saga and Naguib Mahfouz’s Cairo Trilogy
This study is concerned with investigating the treatment of women and gender roles in Glasworthy’s Forsyte Saga and Naguib Mahfouz’s Cairo Trilogy from a sociopragmatic perspective. The texts studied for this paper have not been evaluated to socio-pragmatic analysis that reflects the little application of this approach to literary works. As thus, the goal of this paper is to advance sociopragmatic analysis to these novels—there is salience from t…
A Discourse-Historical Approach to Populism in the Right-Wing Discourse on Immigration
This study is concerned with investigating the implications of the new nationalist and populist discourse of the far right-wing movements to immigration in different Arab countries, with a focus on Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan. For this purpose, the study is based on a corpus of different genres, including political speeches, newspaper articles, as well as social media posts and comics. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is used in order to explore …
Classifying literary genres
Classifying literary genres has always been methodologically confined to philological methods and what is commonly known as Vector Space Clustering (VSC). The problem has been exasperated with the widening gap between computational theory and traditional analysis of literary texts. Towards finding a solution to this problem, the current study utilizes a synergetic approach that brings together two established methods. First, a computational model…
The Implications of the Use of English as a Lingual Franca on the Linguistic Changes of the Colloquial Dialects of Arabic
With the development of globalization and the emergence of global English, numerous studies have been concerned with the ways Arabic is influenced by English, the adoption of many English loanwords by Arab speakers and the dominance of English as a lingua franca in different Arab countries including Saudi Arabia. These studies generally investigate the effects of global English on the Arab linguistic and cultural identity. The majority of these s…
