Middle Eastern Culture in Tasting the Sky: A Palestinian Childhood: A Cognitive Corpus Stylistic Study
...Show More Authors

Background: Understanding Middle Eastern Culture in literature is essential for engaging readers worldwide. A society's culture can be reflected through literature. To this end, this study aims to identify the stylistic patterns that reflect Middle Eastern culture in the selected data and to examine how the multilevel approach of this study helps to locate these patterns. Ibtisam Barakat’s Tasting the Sky: A Palestinian Childhood (2007) memoir is selected as the data of the study. Methodology: the cognitive corpus stylistic approach is applied to identify language patterns and stylistic features in the selected data. The multilevel method targets the language patterns that reflect the culture of the Middle East in the book, as well as the stylistic features of cultural constructions and examine how they are linguistically and cognitively encoded in the text, so that the gap found in the literature can be filled. Results: The findings of this study show that the frequent use of particular language patterns related to religion, food, and traditions in the text reflects the culture to global readers. Conclusion: The cognitive corpus stylistic approach is employed to analyze the data and achieve the intended objectives. Corpus stylistics plays an effective role in supporting and providing insights that strengthen the cognitive stylistic analysis. AntConc software helps to find textual evidence to support the analysis. Consequently, integrating bottom-up (quantitative analysis utilizing corpus tools) and top-down (qualitative analysis) methodologies yields a thorough and nuanced examination of the data in question.

: خلفية البحث: يُعدّ فهم ثقافة الشرق الأوسط في الأدب أمرًا أساسيًا لجذب القراء في جميع أنحاء العالم. إذ يمكن أن تنعكس ثقافة أي مجتمع من خلال الأدب. ولتحقيق هذه الغاية، تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تحديد الأنماط الأسلوبية التي تعكس ثقافة الشرق الأوسط في البيانات المختارة، ودراسة كيفية مساهمة المنهج متعدد المستويات في تحديد هذه الأنماط. وقد تم اختيار مذكرات ابتسام بركات "تذوق السماء: طفولة فلسطينية" (2007) كبيانات للدراسة. المنهجية: تم تطبيق المنهج الأسلوبي المعرفي لتحديد الأنماط اللغوية والخصائص الأسلوبية في البيانات المختارة. ويستهدف المنهج متعدد المستويات الأنماط اللغوية التي تعكس ثقافة الشرق الأوسط في الكتاب، بالإضافة إلى الخصائص الأسلوبية للبنى الثقافية، ودراسة كيفية ترميزها لغويًا ومعرفيًا في النص، وذلك لسدّ الفجوة الموجودة في الأدب. النتائج: تُظهر نتائج هذه الدراسة أن الاستخدام المتكرر لأنماط لغوية معينة تتعلق بالدين والطعام والتقاليد في النص يعكس الثقافة للقراء العالميين. الاستنتاجات: يُستخدم المنهج الأسلوبي المعرفي القائم على تحليل النصوص لتحليل البيانات وتحقيق الأهداف المرجوة. يلعب علم أسلوب النصوص دورًا فعالًا في دعم التحليل الأسلوبي المعرفي وتقديم رؤى تُعززه. يُساعد برنامج AntConc في إيجاد أدلة نصية تدعم التحليل. بالتالي، يُؤدي دمج المنهجيات التصاعدية (التحليل الكمي باستخدام أدوات تحليل النصوص) والتنازلية (التحليل النوعي) إلى فحص دقيق وشامل للبيانات قيد الدراسة.

A Comparative Study of a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor and Bio-shaft Technology for a Wastewater Treatment Process: A review
...Show More Authors

In addition to the primary treatment, biological treatment is used to reduce inorganic and organic components in the wastewater. The separation of biomass from treated wastewater is usually important to meet the effluent disposal requirements, so the MBBR system has been one of the most important modern technologies that use plastic tankers to transport biomass with wastewater, which works in pure biofilm, at low concentrations of suspended solids. However, biological treatment has been developed using the active sludge mixing process with MBBR. Turbo4bio was established as a sustainable and cost-effective solution for wastewater treatment plants in the early 1990s and ran on minimal sludge, and is easy to maintain. This

This study examines emotional blackmail from a discursive pragmatic standpoint to gain insights into how this psychologically manipulative phenomenon is revealed in the discourse of some American movies. Five extracts from five American movies are purposely selected and analyzed using an eclectic model based on a discursive pragmatic approach to navigate this unexplored study area. The model incorporates Halliday’s (2014) transitivity system, Martin and White’s (2005) attitude system, Forward and Frazier’s (1997) types and tools of emotional blackmail, and Mayfield’s (2010) informal fallacies.

A Linguistic Study of ''and'' (و) in Arabic and English.
...Show More Authors

The conjunctive ''and'' and its Arabic counterpart ''و'' are discourse markers that express certain meanings and presuppose the presence of other elements in discourse. They are indispensable aids to both the text writers and readers. The present study aims to show that such cohesive ties help the writer to organize his main argument and communicate his ideas vividly and smoothly. They also serve as explicit signals that help readers unfold text and follow its threads as realized in the progression of context. The researcher has utilized the Quirk Model of Semantic Implication for data analysis. A total of 42 (22 for English and 20 for Arabic) political texts selected from different elite newspapers in both Arabic and English for the analy

A Pragmatic Study of Identity Representation in American Political Speeches
...Show More Authors

Identity is an influential and flexible concept in social sciences and political studies. The basic sense of identity is looking for uniqueness. In one sense, it is a sign of identification with those we assume they are similar to us or at least in some significant ways they are so. Globalization, migration, modern technologies, media and political conflicts are argued to have a crucial effect on identity representation in terms of the political perspectives specifically in the United States of America. This paper endeavors to investigate how American politicians represent their identities in speeches delivered in different periods of time namely from 2015 to 2018 in terms of the pragmatic paradigm. Three randomly selected speeches by fa
