Social Responsibility of Advertising and Female Beauty: A Document Analysis of Laws and Regulations in Brazil and Portugal
Authors: Oliveira Hadassa
Published: October 2023

This work sought to verify - from an exploratory, intuitive, and empirical view -, how advertising has been regulated in Brazil and Portugal in a non-exhaustive way, observing laws and regulatory guidelines that already exist in these countries and those that are in process, checking its social responsibility in the face of the representativeness and diversity of female beauty. Through qualitative Document Analysis, highlighting the main public documents online found in recent reports, newspapers, official government websites, blogs, and social media, an attempt was made to observe and compare these countries that are historically and culturally linked, differing in cultural, social, political and economic matters. Therefore, in Brazil, there are already some norms to indicate the use of image editing and guidelines to avoid stereotyping of female beauty in advertising. In Portugal, there are already amendments to the advertising code to make beauty standards real and ensure the principle of veracity with the consumer. Both countries already have similar protective laws regarding the “non-objectification” of the woman's body in advertising. However, it was observed that despite the existence of these progresses, there is still a long way to change the deconstruction of the collective imagination about the aesthetic pressure on the female body. Brands/companies need to be aware of these laws/norms and apply them in practice, as well as the need to apply an educational form of awareness for society in general, aiming to be more aligned in the search for more responsible advertising directed to women and for all.
Construction, Perception and Strategies of Health Risk: The Interview of HPV Vaccination among Chinese Young Women
Authors: Zheng Han
Published: October 2023

Risk has emerged as a dominant cultural aspect of modern society as well as a central theme in contemporary discourses. This study focuses on “health risk” through the interview of HPV vaccination’s meaning among young Chinese women for two purposes. First, explores the social construction and transmission of HPV risk through the discussion of discursive strategies. There are three main ways to learn about the vaccine: first, introduction by people they know, second, media publicity, and third, school education.A second purpose is to place the risk perception and women's vaccination decisions in the context of the social milieu in which they occur. According to the results of narrative analysis, interviewees can be divided into two main groups according to the extent to which their actions are influenced by external information: formalists and self-awareness. The latter group shows a higher level of reflexivity than the former group in making the HPV vaccination decision. The group with self-awareness also demonstrates a strong sense of self-body management. Despite individual’s reflexivity level varies, it is clear that risk calculation conscious is prevalent when pursuing HPV vaccine. On the one hand, risk calculation reflects human self-reflexivity and reason, as defined by neoliberalism; on the other hand, it also reflects that future hazards are influencing current activities, the future, is central to risk awareness. At this moment, people are taking proactive action to prevent, mitigate or prevent the challenges and disasters of tomorrow and the day after.

From Disappearance to Rebirth Politics and Business in Mantua Between 1630 and 1650
Authors: Grandi Alberto
Published: October 2023

Until 1630, the population of Mantua was about 30,000 inhabitants and its economy was really sturdy, thanks to agriculture and some manufacturing activities. The war and its overwhelming effects were added to the ones of the humongous plague epidemic. In 1631, the city counted less than 7,000 inhabitants and each economic activity was absent. Thus the new dukedom’s government tried to boost both the population and the economic growth by guaranteeing tax exemptions for those people who chose to move to Mantua. This paper analyzes the stories of these entrepreneurs, who took advantage of the incentives, making private negotiations with the new government. The outcome was kind of surprising because the demographic growth was really fast, in 1640 already, the city was back to 25,000 inhabitants, but mostly the economic recovery was focused on new areas, such as stockings and caps factories and paper industry. The Plague and the war erased a city but a new one arose in its place, followed by a new ruling class and new economic basis.
Self-Perceived Stress and Coping Strategies during COVID-19 Pandemic among the Students of Kathmandu Metropolitan City
Authors: Thapa Anjana , Karki Rajesh , Kaphle Maheshor
Published: October 2023

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic emerged as a global threat. Various factors such as social isolation, perception of disease severity and susceptibility, and frequent exposure to the news have been previously associated with increased levels of perceived stress regarding COVID-19. The choice of coping strategies plays a crucial role in mitigating these effects. Thus, this study aims to assess the perceived stress level and coping strategies among 19-24 age group students during COVID-19.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the 5 colleges of Kathmandu Metropolitan City, Nepal with 256 students between May 22 to 24, 2022. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and BRIEF-COPE were used to measure stress and coping behavior. Significant variable differences in stress scores were assessed via t-tests and ANOVA, while the coping-stress relationship was analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient.

Results: The majority (69.1%, n=177) of participants were aged 19 to 24, with a mean age of 21.35 (±1.49). Among the total sample, all respondents experienced stress, with 26.2% reporting severe stress and only 1.5% reporting low stress. The mean score for approach coping strategies (2.55) was found to be higher than that for avoidant coping strategies (1.89). Coping strategies such as denial (r = -0.191, p = 0.002), positive reframing (r = -0.147, p =.019), and religion (r = -0.175, p = 0.005) showed a negative correlation with perceived stress, implying that if these strategies increase perceived stress decreases and vice-versa.

Conclusion: Based on our data, the majority of participants experienced stress. The negative correlation between coping behavior and stress suggests that effective coping strategies can help reduce stress level and improve well-being.

Case Conflict in Arabic Relative Clauses: A Phase-Based Approach
Authors: Alenazy Mamdouh A.
Published: October 2023

Case conflict in relative clauses is observed when a relative pronoun carries Case different from the one associated with its base position. Instead, it appears with Case that is identical to Case of its antecedent that is external to the relative clause. This phenomenon - commonly referred to as Case Attraction - is attested in languages such as Ancient Greek, Latin, and German. It is also easily observed in Modern Standard Arabic where the relative pronoun shows agreement in Case, gender and number with the noun modified by the relative clause. The original position of the relative pronoun is normally filled with a resumptive pronoun that represents the features of the relative pronoun. This study adopts the most recent assumptions of the Minimalist Program to account for the behavior of Arabic relative pronouns. It assumes that the relative clause is right adjoined to the noun it modifies and the relative pronoun moves to a left peripheral position within the structure of the relative clause leaving behind a copy. At a later stage of the derivation, Case of the relative pronoun is unified with Case of its antecedent. The unified Case feature is then valued under Agree with a higher head.
Physically Exiled, Spiritually Returning: A Comparative Reading of Beckett’s Murphy and a Selection of Poems by Darwish
Authors: Almwajeh Motasim ,  Rababah Luqman M
Published: October 2023

This article explores a selection of Mahmoud Darwish’s poetry and Samuel Beckett’s Murphy (1938) as postcolonial texts which are rich with postcolonial undertones. Beckett and Darwish articulate a counter-discursive rhetoric that undermines any hierarchically installed oppressive structures. Although political classifications and restrictions limit many neutral inquiries of such texts and hinder objective scholarship on Irish and Palestinian literature, many  academic studies on Irish and Palestinian forms of literature have emerged. Counteracting hubristic structures, this paper tackles works from Ireland and Palestine as predominantly imbued with postcolonial implications. The research brings these authors from far-flung parts of the world to address postcolonial manifestations in Ireland and Palestine. Despite their convergences and divergences, texts from both perspectives must be used to critique structures and forces of colonialism in order to further contextualize them within the postcolonial realm. Reading Beckett alongside Darwish helped to solidify the idea that colonialism employs the same discourse regardless of place or time. It also demonstrates that oppressed people tend to employ comparable dissent mechanisms. Much like the speakers of Darwish’s Unfortunately, It Was Paradise, Leaves of Olives, “Mural,” and “My Mother” are always caught up in subordinate power relations, the eponymous protagonist of Murphy is degraded as an inferior other; one who is disenfranchised and excluded both inside and outside Ireland. Both authors refute stereotypes and stigmatization and offer a dissenting paradigm blurring power-based divisions to the status quo that renders the Palestinians and Irish as inferior to others.
A Joke Off-hand: Who Says Jordanians Keep a Straight Face?
Authors: Farghal Mohammed , Hamdan Jihad M
Published: October 2023

Based on a sample of 75 Jokes extracted from YouTube clips which belong to a comic program called ‘A Joke Off-hand’, different Jordanian male age-groups are shown to highly welcome, appreciate, and interact with joke telling in public. The topics of jokes are varied, mainly involving hash-addict (26.66%), marriage (16%), body defects (6.66%), and school (6.66%) jokes. The total absence of political jokes and the very few sexual and religious jokes (two instances each) may be ascribed to Jordanians’ relatively conservative attitude towards exposing such sensitive themes publically in addition to being aware of censorship as reported by the program’s presenter in a TV interview. Jordanian jokes are shown to be influenced by the jokester’s age, which is clearly reflected in the structure and sophistication of the joke. In terms of linguistic resources, the bulk of the jokes (85.33%) follows human logical reasoning based on conversational implicature, which can readily travel into English through translation. The remainder of the sample consist of linguistic jokes which defy translation and must be largely annotated if they were to make sense. Word ambiguity and onomastics seem to be a prevalent feature of Jordanian linguistic jokes.
The Politics of space in Leila Aboulela’s Minaret and Jamal Mahjoub’s A Line in the River: Khartoum, City of Memory
Authors: Ben Amara Ahmed
Published: October 2023

The preoccupation with architecture, geography, and borders in the work of Anglo-Sudanese writers Leila Aboulela and Jamal Mahjoub is to a large extent tied to the postcolonial mindset the two authors share and the minority status of the Anglophone Arab literary tradition. This tradition aims, among other things, at rewriting space to negotiate questions of identity, power, and resistance. Drawing on recent research on the intersections between the postcolonial field and the field of space studies, this paper argues that, although Aboulela and Mahjoub both seek to expose the spatial organization of social reality, that is to say the ways in which space is both conceived and shaped to reinforce existing power differentials, they diverge on the esthetic and political strategies to challenge this power configuration. Therefore, by comparing Aboulela’s Minaret (2006) and Mahjoub’s A Line in the River: Khartoum, City of Memory (2018), it will be argued that, while Aboulela displaces the larger geographies of the nation and the city in favor of urban microstructures that become the site of dissent and empowerment for the alienated migrant subject, Mahjoub embraces the geography of the nation as holding the key both to the collective project of nation-building and the more personal task of coming to terms with the plurality of postcolonial identity.

The Pragmatics of Refusal: A Study of Parent-Daughter Communication Dynamics in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Alsmari Nuha Abdullah
Published: October 2023

This study examines the realization of refusal speech acts by female Saudi Arabic speakers in response to parental requests, focusing on the potential impact of parental gender and request imposition on refusal strategies. Sixty participants from (anonymous) University completed a written discourse completion test (DCT) containing six scenarios with varying degrees of imposition (low, medium, high) featuring either a mother or a father. Findings revealed significant variations in refusal strategies directed toward mothers and fathers, influenced by gender expectations and imposition levels. Saudi females predominantly employed the "Excuse, reason, explanation" strategy with both parents but demonstrated distinct strategies in high-imposition request situations when interacting with fathers versus mothers. Females tended to use the "Attempt to dissuade interlocutor" strategy with fathers and the "Statement of alternative" approach with mothers. Furthermore, Saudi daughters were less inclined to use direct refusals when responding to fathers compared to mothers. These findings highlight communication, power, and relationship dynamics within Saudi families, potentially leading to distinct communication patterns and expectations among interlocutors.
Assimilation as the Residue of AGREE
Authors: Abu-Abbas Khaled Hasan
Published: October 2023

An Optimality Theoretic approach to assimilation is proposed where all assimilation processes result from the interaction of a single syntagmatic markedness constraint that requires sequences of sounds to AGREE in all feature specifications with a variety of faithfulness constraints that seek to IDENT input feature specifications. Assimilation or the lack of it is the residue of AGREE after satisfaction of higher ranked IDENT constraints. AGREE is analyzed as a single gradient constraint rather than a set of categorical constraints each obligating agreement in a specific feature. The study concludes that a gradient interpretation of AGREE is theoretically appropriate since it meets the general principle of economy in the structure of our language faculty and also supports the general move towards convergence rather than divergence in linguistic analysis. The outcomes of the study also prove to be practically appropriate in handling various assimilation processes from different languages.
Art Voicing Peaceful Protest: Hip-Hop and Rap in the American and Arabic Cultures
Authors:  Al-Jezawi Hanan K. , Al-Abdulrazaq Mohammad A. , Rababah Mahmoud Ali ,  Aldoory Arwa H.
Published: October 2023

For centuries, poems and songs have been utilized to criticize oppressive and violent regimes, eliciting emotions and aiding the public in coping with hegemony. Rap and hip-hop, blending poetry and music, have emerged as powerful tools for combating oppression and marginalization. Despite the misconception that loud, aggressive music may incite violence, recent research disproves this notion. This study employs Sigmund and Anna Freud's psychoanalytic theory, focusing on defense mechanisms and free association, to analyze data. The study reveals that poets and artists across cultures, including Arabic culture, have employed rap and hip-hop as a means of cultural resistance, fostering a collective identity among young individuals to enhance their understanding of themselves and their culture. The study argues that rap and hip-hop serve as peaceful tools of resistance and function as a therapeutic outlet for managing anger, contrary to claims by some critical theorists that they stimulate violence in society.
Anti-hero in The Seventh Day of Creation: A Campbellian Reading
Authors:  Hosseini Abdollah , Izadi Zahra
Published: October 2023

From the mythological point of view, the hero of a literary text is an archetype in the collective unconscious who embodies the collective ideals of a culture while searching for his/her individual identity at the narrative level. In his seminal The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949), Joseph Campbell addresses the archetypal function of the hero in three main stages: departure, initiation, and return. Drawing on Campbell’s model, this study examines the journey of the hero in the second storyline of The Seventh Day of Creation, i.e., Al-Sirah al-Mutlaqiyeh. Sirah al-Zatiyeh is a sequence to another study by same authors that examined the first storyline of the novel (Al-Sirah al-Zatiyeh) with regard to the author’s personality and individuation. Proceeding from the analysis of Al-Sirah al-Zatiyeh, this study considers Mutlaq as an antihero based on Campbell’s model and identifies a Hegelian dialectic relationship between the two storylines of the novel. Al-Sirah al-Zatiyeh and Al-Sirah al-Mutlaqiyeh, which respectively represent the individual code and the social code, are designed to showcase an ideal Iraqi society. More precisely, highlighting the opposition in the two main parts of the narrative points at the movement and dynamism desired by the author for changing the future of the country.
Post-colonial Counter-memory in The Trial of Dedan Kimathi: (Re)membering the Demonized Hero and Subverting the Colonial Discourse
Authors: Khawaldeh Imad M. ,  Bani-Khair Baker M.
Published: October 2023

This paper examines how Kenyan novelist and playwright Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o and Zimbabwean playwright Micere Githae-Mugo have embarked on a dramatic counter-discursive project through their play The Trial of Dedan Kimathi (1976). The researchers argue that the play was intended to subvert the many colonial historical accounts about the figure of Kimathi and the Mau Mau revolutionary anticolonial movement. Drawing upon post-colonial criticism, this paper demonstrates how the playwrights use the heroic fictional character of Kimathi to counteract several historical and fictional colonial and contemporary postcolonial accounts about this controversial freedom fighter. Then, the paper goes on to examine the role of Ian Henderson (the British colonial police officer who participated in the manhunt for Kimathi and succeeded in capturing him in 1957) as a fictional character in the play. While many studies have demonstrated that The Trial of Dedan Kimathi re-writes the colonial history about Kimathi and the Mau Mau movement in Kenya, which was maintained by Ian Henderson and many other colonial writers, to the best of the researchers’ knowledge; previous studies have not presented a comparative examination of both figures of Henderson, i.e., the historical figure and the fictional one. Here, the researchers explain how through the inclusion of the character of Henderson as the antagonist of the play, the dramatists subvert Henderson’s actual written accounts about Kimathi and the Kenyan national movement.
Exploring the Dynamic Interplay of Personality, Language Learning Strategies, and Environment in Indonesian EFL Learners' Success
Authors: Muslimin Afif Ikhwanul , Suhartoyo Eko
Published: October 2023

Indonesian EFL learners are diverse in personalities, choices of language learning strategies (LLSs), learning environments, and many others, which may influence their success in EFL learning and performance. Considering the diversities, two elementary school students (ESSs) studying at a private Islamic elementary school (PIES) surpassed other participants from many schools in some English Olympiads around East Java, Indonesia. Hence, the present study was aimed at delving into the stories of two successful EFL learners in an Islamic elementary school in Bojonegoro, East Java, Indonesia. To gather the data, documentation on the participants' achievements artifacts (i.e., certificates, trophies, and medals) and semi-structured interviews to dig deeper into their EFL learning strategies to achieve success were conducted. The participants were requested to read the article draft to validate the data. Prior to the data gathering, both participants signed a letter of consent. The results revealed that each possessed distinct personalities that influenced their choices of EFL LLSs. These LLSs were boosted by the family and learning environment motifs, which further brought them to participate in and win the English Olympiads. Henceforth, it urges surroundings to aid ESSs in understanding their personalities, accommodates their LLSs, and provides a motivating environment.
A Critical Discourse Analysis of Al Jazeera’s Reporting of the 2021 Israel-Palestine Crisis
Authors: Amaireh Hanan Ali
Published: October 2023

This study is a critical discourse analysis of news coverage of the 2021 Israel-Palestine crisis as reported by Al Jazeera English. In this corpus-based study, 50 news reports were analysed using Van Dijk’s ‘ideological square’ as the theoretical framework. The findings suggest that the Al Jazeera reporters reflected their personal ideology in their lexical choices, or lexicalisation, displaying either a positive or negative stance towards the crisis, with Palestinians being the ‘in-group’ and Israelis the ‘out-group’. The news reporters also framed the Palestinians—‘us’—as the innocent victims of colonisation, while the ‘other’ Israelis were negatively represented as victimisers, racists, and colonisers through an emphasis on syntactic agency. One key observation is that the Al Jazeera reporters emphasised the Palestinian narrative while also radiating personal feelings and attitudes towards the crisis. At the same time, the Israelis were silenced and derogatorily portrayed
The Negative Transfer Effect on the Neural Machine Translation of Egyptian Arabic Adjuncts into English: The Case of Google Translate
Authors: Al-Sabbagh Rania
Published: October 2023

Parallel corpora for low-resource Arabic dialects and English are limited and small-scale, and most neural machine translation models, including Google Translate, rely mainly on parallel corpora of standard Arabic and English to train for dialectal Arabic translation. A model well trained to translate to and from standard Arabic is believed to efficiently translate dialectal Arabic, given their similarities. This study demonstrates the impact of not using large-scale, dialect-specific parallel corpora by quantitatively and qualitatively analyzing the performance of Google Translate in translating Egyptian Arabic adjuncts. Compared to human reference translation, Google Translate achieved a low BLEU score of 14.69. Qualitative analysis showed that reliance on standard Arabic parallel corpora caused a negative transfer problem manifested in the literal translation of idiomatic adjuncts, the misinterpretation of dialectal adjuncts as main clause constituents, the translation of dialectal adjuncts after orthographically similar standard Arabic words, and the use of standard Arabic common lexical meanings to translate dialect-specific adjuncts. This study’s findings will be relevant for researchers interested in dialectal Arabic neural machine translation and has implications for investment in the development of large-scale, dialect-specific corpora to better process the peculiarities of Arabic dialects and reduce the effect of negative transfer from standard Arabic.
Asserting Resistance in Nazrul’s “The Rebel” and Al-Shabbi’s “Will of Life”
Authors: Hoque Manzura , AlQahtani Sitah
Published: October 2023

The most valuable asset an oppressed subject loses, under all forms of abuse, is their sense of dignity. From colonial empires to postcolonial dictatorships, the fundamental objective of every tyrant's authority has been removing their subjects’ humane existence and placing them in distorted realities where they can be grateful for just being alive. This paper looks at two notable pieces, Bengali poet Kazi Nazrul Islam’s “The Rebel” and Tunisian poet Abu al-Qasim al-Shabbi's “Will of Life”, as examples of anticolonial works living beyond their context. Despite their distinctive colonial experiences, both poets present a similar revolutionary zeal and desire for liberty. In particular, the study focuses on how the two poets sought to develop a consciousness of resistance in their readers in accordance with the Fanonian concepts of wretchedness and revolution. The paper compares how the two works attempt to decolonize the people they address and reclaim their national identity through the portrayal of the self, the assimilation of nature, and the representation of the divine.
(Non)-Conformity to Native English Norms in Postgraduate Students' Writing in UK Universities: Perspectives of Native and Non-Native Students and Academic Staff
Authors:  Alfehaid Abdulaziz , Alkhatib Nada
Published: October 2023

Postgraduate writing is a major academic feature through which students' learning progress is assessed. It is thus of paramount importance that students must meet the academic writing demands required by their respective academic schools and departments in order to pass their chosen courses. The study strives to explore the extent to which native and non-native English-speaking postgraduate students are required to conform to the norm of native-speakerism preferable to native English faculty members in some United Kingdom (UK) universities. This study is mainly qualitative and it involves three research instruments: (a) open-ended surveys targeting 111 native and non-native postgraduate students and 65 lecturers from different departments, (b) semi-structured interviews conducted with 13 lecturers and 10 students, and (c) an analysis of lecturers’ feedback on 53 students’ written productions. The findings show that the recommendations to conform to native English conventions exist only in some theoretical research. In practice, however, UK universities and academic staff do not save efforts to enable their students to express their ideas in clear comprehensible academic English. These results yield some insightful penetrations not only to the host universities but also to overseas governments as well. In addition, this study offers some implications for postgraduate students.
A Comparative Analysis of Emotional-Expressive Potential of Oriental Allegorical Writing
Authors:  Konurbaev Marklen Erikovich , Andreeva Ekaterina Yurievna ,  Smakhtin Evgeniy Sergeevich
Published: October 2023

The present paper is aimed at revealing the major emotional-expressive peculiarities in the translation of a stylized text of fiction into the English language. Unlike previous linguopoetic studies, the authors offer a comparative analysis of emotional-expressive connotations in “The Prophet” by K. Gibran with the core Sufi imagery (in translations from Arabic and Persian) analysing different types of emotions through specific lexical units transferring an emotional state. For the purposes of the data analysis, it was suggested to expand the traditional Ekman’s classification of the most common types of emotions. Thus, in this paper, various shades of basic positive emotion types were considered. The study shows new prospects for future research and concludes with linguistic implications for translators and comparativists.

The researchers compiled a corpus consisting of (400) messages and comments from two major social media, Facebook and WhatsApp. The data were obtained from friends' and relatives' comments regarding four occasions: religious events, graduation from (school/ university), having a baby, and getting married. They were decoded and analyzed according to Elwood’s (2004) proposed taxonomy of congratulation strategies. The quantitative and qualitative approaches were employed in analyzing the data. The results of the study showed that the most frequently used strategies of congratulation were illocutionary force indicating device (IFID), the offer of good wishes, and expression of happiness combined with using the word “Allah” (God) and prayer for the benefit of the addressee due to cultural and religious background. Culture played a significant role in the results where the religious factor was evident in the majority of employed IFID.

Authors: Muassomah Muassomah
Published: October 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact not only on public health but also on language dynamics, including the Arabic language. Arabic has witnessed a rapid expansion of its vocabulary in relation to COVID-19. The objective of this research is to demonstrate the newly added vocabulary and examine how these terms have been assimilated from English into Arabic. The study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing the “Dictionary of COVID-19 Terms (English-French-Arabic)” as its primary resource. The data analysed in this study consist of entries pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic found within the aforementioned dictionary. The analysis incorporates content analysis, as well as phonological and morphological analysis. The findings of this investigation reveal the presence of four distinct absorption strategies employed in the dictionary: adoption, adaptation, translation, and creation. Among these strategies, the translation strategy is found to dominate the process of absorbing English terms into Arabic, accounting for approximately 68% of the observed cases. This research ultimately concludes that language is an ever-evolving entity, constantly adapting alongside the societal and cultural developments it reflects.

Authors: Albawardi Areej
Published: October 2023

This paper argues that there are some phonological, morphological and semantic spoken features that are faithfully transmitted to written texts in written interactions via social media. The study adopts a mixed methods approach to detect whether there is a match between the spoken Qassimi Saudi Dialect and its written counterpart. The data for this study comes from WhatsApp textual chats exchanged between 103 Qassimi Saudi speakers. In addition to the linguistic analysis of chats, an online questionnaire was employed to examine the perception of Qassimi as well as non-Qassimi Saudi speakers on whether words elicited from the data are from the Qassimi dialect or not. The findings indicate that some spoken features of Qassimi Arabic have been found in the written digitally-mediated communications of Qassimi speakers. Qassimi Dialect spoken features are found at the phonological, morphosyntactic and semantic levels. The findings of this study have a number of practical and methodological implications for linguists and dialecticians
