COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND PHENOMENON OF OPPORTUNISTIC REPRESSION AGAINST SOCIAL MOVEMENTS: A CASE STUDY OF 2019 HONG KONG PRODEMOCRATIC RESISTANCE
Authors: Rida Ejaz, Manzoor Ahmed
Published: January 2023

The declaration of the human transmit disease vis-à-vis COVID-19 not only impacted the socio-political structure of the world but also provided a window of opportunity to some governments for overpowering and coercing the people’s struggle under the cover of pandemic safety mechanism. As earlier that year there were social movements in almost every corner of the globe demanding their very rights from their respective systems. The novel case of the least studied phenomenon of opportunistic repression could be evident in pseudo democracies specifically in territories as Hong Kong which marked one of the biggest social movements of 2019. Addressing the research gap in the existing literature on opportunistic repression this study aims to provide a conceptual framework to understand the social movement mobilization before and during the pandemic in the case of Hong Kong. Conducting thematic analysis of sampled secondary data, this study provides a comprehensive review of the sources and characteristics of the Hong Kong people’s struggle before and during a pandemic. Further this study aims identify tactical adaptations and provide an in-depth insight of opportunistic repression by China in its Special Administrative Region (Hong Kong). As the study is qualitative in nature, it does not aim to provide solution to the problem but rather contribute in the existing body of knowledge by demonstrating that COVID-19 facilitated the process of repression which ended Hong Kong pre-pandemic struggle. The research also provides implications and avenues for further research.

Introduction: The perception of pain is subjective and many factors may affect its power and duration in various oral surgical procedures. An effective treatment suggests a certain volume of knowledge and skills of dental practitioners. A combination of non-pharmacological and pharmacological agents is often used to relieve the pain. There is evidence that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are effective in treating acute pain. Hypotheses suggest that NSAIDs have analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects by reducing the synthesis of arachidonic acid’s metabolites - prostaglandins (PGE2, PGI2), thromboxane (TxA2, TxB2) which are responsible for the occurrence of both - inflammation and pain. With the hyperalgesia initiated by PGE2 and bradykinin, we can explain the presence of postoperative pain because it reduces the pain threshold and increases susceptibility to available threshold inducements. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of postoperative NSAID administration in order to prevent the production of inflammatory components induced by the surgical treatment. Material and methods: The study included 15 patients who received surgical therapy. The selective COX-2 inhibitor of the new class Aulin® and the non-selective COX-2 inhibitor Ibuprofen® were taken from the patients as systemic administration postoperatively for a period of 3 days. The VRS-4 scale was used to assess the pain. Results: The assessment of the mean values for the degree of pain did not show statistically significant differences in the inhibition of pain for the two drugs in the three postsurgical days. Conclusion: In the absence of a significant difference between the two drugs - Aulin® and Ibuprofen®, we may confirm that according to our study they are both sufficiently effective in controlling postoperative pain in surgical periodontal procedures.

Interculturality in Algerian German as a Foreign Language (DaF) Instruction: Significance, Obstacles, and Challenges

ABSTRACT: Since the beginning of the 20th Century till now, teaching foreign languages gives a great importance to learn foreign languages and cultures. At the same time, the objective of teaching is not to improve only the oral competencies, but to focus on understanding and perceiving foreign culture by "Interculturality"  Interculturality is a method of teaching- learning process, which is a mean that links between knowledge an information with foreign cultures and languages to achieve that demands learning conditions that play a great role to develop "Interculturality" of the Lerner. The objective of this communication is not based on showing the big importance of interculturality but also on showing its successful to apply success during a Germany Course (Lesson) in Algeria and the struggles that face it order to suggest new techniques to improve the learning- teaching process quality.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Seit dem Beginn der 80er Jahre interessiert sich die Fremdsprachendidaktik für die Abhängigkeit von sprachlichem und kulturellem Lernen. Das Lernziel bezieht sich nicht nur auf die kommunikative Kompetenz, sondern auch auf das Kulturverstehen, um das Denken und das Handeln einer anderen Kultur zu verstehen und zu erfassen. Interkulturalität verbindet dazu die Kenntnisse und Informationen mit der Fremdkultur und der Fremdsprache. Das sind Wissen lernen, Wissen verstehen und Wissen tun. Daraus sehen die Didaktiker, dass die Landeskunde als Bestandteil des Deutschunterrichts sein soll. Die interkulturelle Verständigung erweist sich auch als ein integrierender Bestandteil des Erlernens und Gebrauchs von Fremdsprachen, denn sie schließt neben der sprachlichen Kompetenz auch die Kenntnis nationalkultureller und sozialer Regeln und gut- ausgeprägtes Empfinden entsprechender Normen ein. Die existierenden Rahmenbedingungen als Hilfsfaktor zum Lehren und Lernen haben dazu didaktische und methodische Funktion zu vereinigen, damit die Lernenden ihre interkulturelle Kompetenz fördern können. Das Hauptziel dieser Kommunikation liegt also nicht nur darin, Bedeutung der Interkulturalität beim  Deutschlernen zu zeigen, sondern auch ihre Existenz (Zustand) im algerischen DaF- Unterricht zu analysieren, um neue Lehr- und Lernstrategien zur Verbesserung der Unterrichtsqualität vorzuschlagen.
To What Extent Does Incorrect Pronunciation Alter Meaning
Authors: SEBANE Zoubida
Published: January 2023

This article targets a feature of the language which is essential in foreign language acquisition. All the skills are important to acquire when we are learning a foreign or a second language. However, only the oral skill can immediately assess your mastery of the language and more specifically the pronouncing ability. Good and accurate pronunciation facilitates communication and allows interaction and feedback. It avoids ambiguities and misunderstanding with the listener.   As his pronunciation is correct, the speaker is given interest and consideration, he feels comfortable and can challenge all issues. The situation is completely different when the speaker ‘s oral production is approximate or somehow weak. It delays comprehension and the conversation is not pleasant. There is much effort from parts, the speaker and the hearer. Good speaking abilities open many opportunities social and professional opportunities to the speaker. Pronunciation appears in every language skill acquisition. Listening and speaking, which is obvious, also in reading as the reader should know the pronunciation of the word and finally in writing because the learner is already familiar with the spelling form of the words.
Integrating Culture in EFL: High Stakes and Thorny Issues
Authors: YAHIAOUI Habib
Published: January 2023

The starting point of the present paper is the strong conviction that the cultural dimension should be encompassed in EFL education. Indeed, cultural competence is a key factor in enhancing the learning of English and the comprehension of the bolts and nuts of the target culture so as to provide an environment of respect and reciprocity of ideas. At the same time, cultural dimension is a salient issue in our education as one should know whether the practitioners have the skill, the knowledge, and  the attitude to incorporate this dimension. To answer this question, a research has been carried out at six secondary school at sig (Mascara) involving 23 teachers. A questionnaire, an interview and sessions of observation have been used to collect data. Results show that teachers do not follow a systematic process in introducing the cultural insight in their lesson planning. Nor do they devote a consistent amount of time to teach the cultural dimension.
The Transformative Experience of Cultivating Empathy in Teaching Intercultural Studies as Substantiated in The Sociolinguistics and Gender Studies Master One Community
Authors: BENNEGHROUZI Fatima Zohra
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT: Different value systems, coupled with diverging communication styles and behaviours can build up into stern instances of miscommunication and conflict among cultural groups, both within and across societies. In this spirit, my paper probes the following question: How can learners of intercultural studies attain the flair to understand the dynamics of intercultural contact and the practical skills to successfully engage with cultural diversity? This is tested against the postulation which states that learners of intercultural studies can scarcely generate a trans-cultural competence in an eight-week lecture series.  With this in mind and through the intercultural studies lecture series, my main objective is to call attention to the significance of cultivating empathy which becomes pivotal in the intercultural perception enacted by and cultivated in the Master 1 (Sociolinguistics and Gender Studies) inter-culturality classroom. The research tool employed in the present study is: An eight week structured observation describing the intercultural studies lecture series in action. This includes the distribution of 4 assignments to students which aims at gauging the development of their intercultural sensitiveness all along the eight week lecture series in the light of their classroom interactions. Issues relating to colonialism, religion, gender, racism, prejudice, interdependence and many more are also closely summoned up in the wake of such interactions. The strategy implemented throughout the course elaborates chiefly on Sitaram and Cogdell’s Value Classification Chart (1976) which contrasts mainstream values at work in different cultural environments, and the Worldwork’s Framework of International Competencies (2010) which propounds manoeuvres for trans-cultural sensitivity.
Why Do Algerians Code Switch on Facebook? Attitudes and Motives
Authors: ZITOUNI Mimouna , SAAID Younes
Published: January 2023

As Facebook has expeditiously developed into one of the best-liked modes of communication on the Internet, language has also been inveigled in terms of its use, usage and practices. Code-switching (CS), the alternate use of more than one language in a discourse, is one of the language phenomena which have demonstrated actual infiltration, connotation and implication on language production and exchange among Algerian Facebook users. This research investigates attitudes that lie behind the manifestation of such language switching. The present work aims to raise its problematic in the multilingual Arabic-French-English Facebook discourse of young Algerian University students of English living in Oran. Our corpus consists of 75 participants. Data was gathered from a questionnaire which was administered to explore attitudes towards Arabic, French and English language use in concordance with code switching phenominality in online written discourse. Collected data was quantified, analysed and discussed. Results showed that a great majority of the respondents code-switch in Facebook. Furthermore, it is found that students are highly positive in their attitudes toward the use of code-switching in Facebook communication. It is suggested that many of the Algerian Facebook users employ CS as a tool not only to enhance socializing but also academic activities.

Ethnic Centralism in Literary Translation: Distortion of the Narrative through Essentialism Tendency

ABSTRACT: The present paper aims at comparing and analyzing some textual deformations, commonly referred to as Deforming Tendencies, resulting from the ethnocentric practice of translation that characterizes literary translation in general and prose translation in particular. We will be using the grid of analysis as proposed by the French translator and translation critic Antoine Berman. Our analytical analysis will particularly put the emphasis on one of the most important deforming tendencies in literary translation, specifically “Rationalization”.  Based on the comparison and analysis of some samples extracted from the French version of Najib Mahfuz’s Zoqaq Al Midaq, our study will shed light on the functioning and consequences of the practice of such deforming tendency.

RÉSUMÉ: Cet article vise à établir une étude analytique et comparative de certaines déformations textuelles, communément appelées tendances déformantes en traduction, résultant d’une certaine pratique traductive, en l’occurrence l’ethnocentrisme, qui caractérise la traduction des textes littéraires en général et celle de la prose en particulier. Nous prendrons comme grille de lecture celle proposée par Antoine Berman, théoricien, traducteur et critique français. L’analyse portera principalement sur la première tendance déformante, la plus importante à notre sens, à savoir celle de « la Rationalisation ». Nous tenterons également de (dé)montrer le fonctionnement et les conséquences de la pratique d’une telle tendance à travers la comparaison et l’analyse de quelques échantillons de traductions tirées de la version française de Zoqaq Al Midaq de Naguib Mahfouz.

الملخص: يهدف هذا المقال إلى دراسة وتحليل مدى التشويهات التي تلحق بالنص الأدبي عموما، وبالنثر الروائي على وجه الخصوص، من جراء الميول إلى ممارسة المركزية العرقية أثناء العملية الترجمية، أكان ذلك عن قصد أم عن غير قصد من قبل المترجم. وسنحاول أن نبين ذلك من خلال شبكة القراءة التي يقترحها المترجم وناقد الترجمات الفرنسي أنطوان بيرمان والتي يسميها "النزعات التشويهية". وسنقدم هنا أولى هذه النزعات، التي نعتبرها الأهم برأينا، وهي "العقلنة". وسنحاول تبيان عملها وأثرها من خلال مقارنة بين نماذج من رواية نجيب محفوظ "زقاق المدق" و ترجمتها الفرنسية.
Contexte : Réflexion Epistémologique Renouvelée
Authors: CHEBLI Soumya
Published: January 2023

Context: Renewed Epistemological Reflection

ABSTRACT:  Referring to the acceptance that considers context as a homogeneous environment closely related to the linguistic sign and of the same nature, to the one that perceives it as a distant and heterogeneous environment due to its composition, language sciences face epistemological changes. Faced with the abundance of definitions and theories, our reflection primarily focuses on the epistemological changes that the concept of context has undergone through the different theories that consider it as the core of their theses. Through this article, we will attempt to highlight the evolution that this concept has experienced. Thus, from the immanent approach, now considered classic or obsolete according to some linguists, to the textual and discursive approaches that are constantly evolving and proliferating, what could be the most comprehensive conception today on which specialists could agree?

RÉSUMÉ: Partant de l’acception qui considère le contexte comme environnement homogène proche du signe linguistique et de même nature, à celle qui l'appréhende comme environnement lointain et hétérogène de par sa composition, les sciences du langage se retrouvent face à des mutations épistémologiques. Devant le foisonnement de définitions et de théories, notre réflexion porte, essentiellement, sur les mutations épistémologiques qu’a connues le concept contexte à travers les différentes théories qui le considèrent comme noyau de leurs thèses. A travers cet article, nous tenterons de mettre en évidence l’évolution qu’a connue ce concept. Ainsi de l'approche immanente, désormais classique ou révolue selon certains linguistes, aux approches textuelles et discursives en perpétuelles mutations et en pleine prolifération, quel peut être aujourd'hui, la conception la plus exhaustive sur laquelle pourraient s'entendre les spécialistes ?
Intercultural Communication in Practice: An Integration of the Intercultural Approach in the Algerian EFL Classroom
Authors: FEDJ Samia
Published: January 2023

Twenty-first century foreign language pedagogy has strongly insisted on the promotion of the fifth language skill that combines language and culture in a harmonizing fashion. Many foreign language educators have reached a high level of awareness about the need of developing intercultural competence. Yet, despite such awareness, it remains unclear to many of them just when and how this can be integrated in their classroom practice. Hence, this paper tends to suggest a functional course design that demonstrates the implementation of the intercultural approach through operational techniques, tasks and lesson plans for the purpose of developing learners’ linguistic and intercultural communicative competence (knowledge, skills, attitudes) in the Algerian EFL classroom. The courses also aim to raise students’ cultural awareness, to train them on how to deal with cultural diversity in and outside the classroom by making them active analysts and interpreters of the target culture as well as their native one, and more importantly to develop attitudes of openness, curiosity, empathy, non-judgmental thinking and prevent cultural shocks, misunderstandings, stereotypes and prejudices. The proposed intercultural pedagogy aims to make some of the ICC issues accessible and manageable to EFL practitioners, as it tries to answer questions in both practical and principled ways.
Feminist Translation Applied on Specimens of Nawel Saadaoui's and Ahlem Mosteghanemi's Novels
Authors: KOUDJA Baya
Published: January 2023

This paper deals with the feminist theory in translation with special focus on the applicability of its techniques to embody the feminist discourse in literature, which expresses the intellectual awareness of woman in various cultural contexts, for literature is the most appropriate space in which women can express their concerns and sufferings from male dominance. The focus on feminist literature stems from the fact that it intersects with feminist theory in translation which uses particular strategies to express the ideological and political awareness of women, embodied in a language beyond inherited stereotypes. In this paper, we try to apply this theory to samples taken from the translations of the novels of the Egyptian writer Nawal El Saadaoui and Algerian writer Ahlam Mosteghanemi, and investigate the extent to which this feminist theory in translation can embody the feminist discourse linguistically, intellectually, culturally and stylistically.

Plea for Intercultural Tourism in Algeria

ABSTRACT: Algeria possesses a unique and exceptional tourist site in Africa and the Mediterranean basin, if not globally. Despite its abundant natural, cultural, and historical advantages, which can cater to various tourism motivations, the tourism sector in Algeria remains largely untapped. The country is ranked among the least visited tourist destinations, despite its vast untapped potential. This is primarily attributed to weaknesses in service quality, lack of professionalism, negative perceptions of security, and incomplete reforms. Algeria exemplifies this situation, where despite significant tourism assets, a strong political will, and favorable legislation for both local and foreign investors, the industry has not reached its full potential. The government has shown commitment in identifying, developing, and managing major tourist sites, including coastal, cultural, and Saharan tourism. To achieve this, the following objectives are crucial: enhancing hotel infrastructure, standardizing tourism activities according to international standards, implementing a comprehensive communication strategy to establish Algeria as a unique international destination, and adopting a distinct positioning strategy throughout the Mediterranean region.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Algerien besitzt eine einzigartige und außergewöhnliche touristische Attraktion in Afrika und im Mittelmeerraum, wenn nicht sogar weltweit. Trotz seiner reichhaltigen natürlichen, kulturellen und historischen Vorteile, die verschiedene touristische Motivationen bedienen können, bleibt der Tourismussektor in Algerien weitgehend ungenutzt. Das Land rangiert trotz seines enormen, ungenutzten Potenzials unter den am wenigsten besuchten Reisezielen. Dies ist hauptsächlich auf Schwächen bei der Servicequalität, mangelnde Professionalität, negative Sicherheitswahrnehmungen und unvollständige Reformen zurückzuführen. Algerien veranschaulicht diese Situation, denn trotz bedeutender Tourismusressourcen, einer starken politischen Willensbekundung und günstiger Gesetzgebung für lokale und ausländische Investoren hat die Branche ihr volles Potenzial noch nicht erreicht. Die Regierung hat sich dazu verpflichtet, bedeutende Touristenattraktionen zu identifizieren, zu entwickeln und zu verwalten, einschließlich Küsten-, Kultur- und Sahara-Tourismus. Um dies zu erreichen, sind folgende Ziele entscheidend: Verbesserung der Hotelinfrastruktur, Standardisierung der Tourismusaktivitäten nach internationalen Standards, Umsetzung einer umfassenden Kommunikationsstrategie zur Etablierung Algeriens als einzigartiges internationales Reiseziel und Annahme einer eigenständigen Positionierungsstrategie in der gesamten Mittelmeerregion.

Communicative Cultural Competence as a Key Skill in Intercultural Communication

ABSTRACT: This paper elucidates the importance of cultural competence in intercultural encounters. People from different cultural backgrounds interact with each other daily, bringing forth diverse worldviews, perceptions, and values. These encounters with individuals who think differently often lead to misunderstandings and conflicts. In my view, these factors can distort and hinder communication. This presentation attempts to answer the following question: How can communication between people from different cultures be made successful, and how can communicative difficulties such as stereotypes, prejudices, and clichéd perceptions be overcome to achieve effective communication? Communicative competence plays a significant role in this regard. As a key skill, it can greatly contribute to relatively successful communication in an intercultural encounter.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG:Dieser Beitrag erläutert die Wichtigkeit der kulturellen Kompetenz in einer interkulturellen Begegnung. Menschen aus unterschiedlichen Kulturprägungen kommen täglich in Kontakt miteinander und bringen verschiedene Weltanschauungen, Weltwahrnehmungen und Werte mit. Diese Begegnungen mit Andersdenkenden lösen oft Missverständnisse und Konflikte aus. Und das kann meiner Auffassung nach, die Kommunikation verzerren und beeinträchtigen. In diesem Vortrag wird der Versuch unternommen folgende Frage zu beantworten: Wie kann man die Kommunikation zwischen Menschen aus verschiedenen Kulturen erfolgreich machen und die kommunikativen Schwierigkeiten wie Stereotypen, Vorurteile, Klischeevorstellungen bewältigen, um eine erfolgreiche Kommunikation zu verwirklichen. Die kommunikative Kompetenz spielt dabei eine hervorragende Rolle. Als Schlüsselkompetenz kann sie erheblich zu einer relativ gelungenen Kommunikation in einer interkulturellen Begegnung beitragen.

Contemporary Writings: Games and Challenges in Pascal Quignard's Works

ABSTRACT: Pascal Quignard's writing represents the epitome of perplexing literature, as understood by Dominique Viart. Documented experience intertwines with fictional elements in the materiality of the text, both in its depth and on its surface. Readers of Pascal Quignard's texts, unsettled in their customary habits, question the meaning of the text, search for possible interpretations, and ultimately discover themselves as readers operating in a new mode demanded by this bewildering literature. Three texts by Pascal Quignard—Terrasse à Rome, Tous les matins du monde, and Abimes—will be studied in this work, drawing on the contributions of discourse analysts such as Maingueneau, Orecchioni, and Sablayrolles, in order to grasp the specificities of Quignard's aesthetic of writing.

RÉSUMÉ: L’écriture quignardienne représente par excellence la littérature  déconcertante telle que l’entend Dominique Viart. Le vécu documenté s’entrecroise avec le fait imaginaire dans la matérialité du texte dans sa profondeur comme à travers sa surface. Le lecteur des textes de Pascal Quignard, bousculé dans ses coutumières habitudes, s’interroge sur le sens du texte, cherche les possibles lectures pour enfin se découvrir un lecteur en mode nouveau fonctionnement exigé par cette littérature déconcertante. Trois textes de Pascal Quignard Terrasse à Rome, Tous les matins du monde et Abimes, seront étudiés dans ce travail avec les apports des théoriciens de l’analyse du discours comme Maingueneau, Orecchioni, Sablayrolles dans le but de saisir les particularités de l’esthétique de l’écriture quignardienne.

The information age or what Warschauer (1999) calls ‘the new industrial revolution’ due to the emergence of internet, paved the way for many domains to prosper, namely the teaching learning environment, the introduction of internet-based social networking tools in second language classes penetrated the world enhancing intercultural competence among students willing to acquire a foreign language. Moreover, this form of social interaction allows them to build strong relationships and online communities of common interests, which leads to a deep understanding of both languages and cultures simultaneously. In Algeria, particularly at Tlemcen University, we believe such online tele-collaborative learning fosters intercultural competence. Through a virtual class, local university students interact with their foreign counterparts through social networking platforms in order to grasp the English language in a cultural environment, with this in mind, the present research work aims at exploring whether such a new method of language learning helped in building inter-culturality among Algerian students.
Characteristics of Humbert, the Hero of Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita Novel (Vladimir Nabokov'un Lolita romanının kahramanı Humbert'in özellikleri)
Authors: AZIZALIYEVA Basira
Published: January 2023

“Lolita” written by Vladimir Nabokov has been considered as an important occasion in the history of world literature for its theme and concept of its characters. The novel written in an original way with distinctive creativity has been subject to debates and various evaluations. Humbert is one of the main characters in the novel “Lolita” with literary mission, serving to demonstrate several psychological, moral and physiological problems, reflecting reasons and effects of various problems that were actual for the society during that time. Since “Lolita” was written during the period when postmodernism influence was observed in the works of Nabokov, it is very noticeable to find postmodern tendencies in the writer’s style and in his main character. Freud’s psychoanalytic theory and its interpretation have played a crucial role in revealing Humbert’s specificity. While assesing Humbert in this context, author’s original approach becomes apparent due to some occasions which are caused by psychological and physiological problems. For this purpose, research on interpretation of Humbert’s stance showed that Humbert’s attitude towards Lolita and his controversial traits are presented in comparison with Freud psychoanalytic theory. Comparative analysis has showed that Humbert is a character who directly affects interpretation of characters and evaluation of events.  So, it involves tendencies of that time and takes upon a mission to analyze existing wishes of human that can’t be openly expressed and to reveal threats that are triggered by those traits.

The Contribution of E-Learning to Improving Writing Performance: The Case of the Moodle Platform

ABSTRACT: Our research focuses on the contribution of online resources, specifically the Moodle platform, a virtual space dedicated to first-year master's students of French as a foreign language. We have observed that these students face difficulties in written production, particularly in spelling. Considering these challenges, we question the impact of this digital platform on improving their spelling skills. To address this question, we postulate that virtual environments would contribute to enhancing spelling competence. For this purpose, we employ Nina Catach's orthographic analysis framework. This framework allows us to analyze the types of errors made by the participants and document them from December to June 2015. The results of our analysis demonstrate that virtual learning environments enable learners to improve the orthographic quality of their written productions. This is achieved through interaction and co-production among peers and with the intervention of the tutor.

RÉSUMÉ : Notre recherche porte sur l’apport des ressources en ligne : cas de la plateforme Moodle, espace virtuel dédié spécifiquement aux étudiants de première année master de français langue étrangère. Nous avons constaté que ces étudiants éprouvent des difficultés en matière de production écrite, et précisément en orthographe. Eu égard à ces difficultés rencontrées par les étudiants, nous interrogeons l’apport de cette plateforme numérique dans l’amélioration de leurs compétences orthographiques. Et pour répondre à cette question, nous postulons que les environnements virtuels contribueraient à l’amélioration de la compétence orthographique. Pour ce faire, nous optons pour la grille d’analyse orthographique de Nina Catach. Celle-ci nous permet d’analyser les types d’erreurs commises par les participants et de les recenser respectivement de la période s’étalant du mois de décembre jusqu’au mois de juin 2015. Enfin, les résultats de notre analyse montrent que les environnements virtuels d’apprentissage permettent à l’apprenant d’améliorer la qualité orthographique de ses productions écrites. Ceci se fait par le biais de l’interaction et la co-production entre pairs et l’intervention du tuteur.

Advertising, Morality, and Cognitive-Social Reality: The Case of Tunisian Society

ABSTRACT:  If it is true that the laws on advertising were decreed to avoid that an announcement does not infringe the rights of third parties, it is proven that this same spot is talented to transgress them verbally, graphically and fantastically (reworked or fantasy images). This is done under the pretext of reflecting current social norms and trends, as well as the cognitive and linguistic aspects of the society targeted by the advertisement, even at the cost of the principle of consumer morality or that of producer / advertiser ethics.  In this context, the semantic-cognitive, semiotic and legislative study, especially of advertising discourse, in a Tunisian social situation, constitutes the main subject of this article.

RÉSUMÉ: S’il est vrai que les lois sur la publicité ont été décrétées pour  éviter qu’une publicité ne porte atteinte aux droits de tiers, il est prouvé que ce même spot est capable de les transgresser verbalement, graphiquement et fantastiquement (images retravaillées ou fantasmatiques). Cela se fait sous prétexte de refléter les normes et les tendances sociales en cours, ainsi que les aspects cognitifs et linguistiques de la société visée par la publicité, même au détriment du principe de la moralité du consommateur ou de celui de la déontologie du producteur / annonceur. C’est ainsi que l’étude sémantico-cognitive, sémiotique et législative du discours publicitaire, dans un contexte social tunisien, constitue le thème  principal de cet article.

The Francophone Algerian Satirical Chronicle Tested by Mediation

ABSTRACT: Perceived by its Francophone readers as a humorous support for social activism through its highly politically engaged discourse, the Francophone Algerian satirical chronicle ("Tranche de vie" in the newspaper "Le Quotidien d'Oran") incorporates various forms of mediation. My research approach in linguistics (Delamotte 2020) aims to highlight and analyze these mediating forms present in the text of the satirical chronicle. The presented statements often emphasize the figure of irony, employed by the author, which goes beyond a mere stylistic device and becomes a distinct enunciative third party (even a speaking third party, according to Peytard 1993) that serves to "mediate" the knowledge, culture, or opinions of the people.

RÉSUMÉ : Perçue par ses lecteurs francophones comme un support humoristique de militance sociale par le discours très engagé sur le plan politique qu’elle construit, la chronique satirique francophone algérienne (« Tranche de vie » dans le journal le « quotidien d’Oran ») concentre beaucoup de figures de la médiation. (L’antonomase du nom propre, la diathèse, le discours rapporté indirect, le conditionnel épistémique, etc.) Ma démarche de recherche en sciences du langage (Delamotte 2020) consiste à faire voir et à commenter ces formes médiatives présentes dans le texte de la chronique satirique. Les énoncés exposés pointent beaucoup la figure de l’ironie, mobilisée par l’auteur et qui passe du simple procédé stylistique à un véritable tiers énonciatif à part entière (voire un tiers parlant, Peytard 1993) qui sert à « médiatiser » un savoir, une culture ou une opinion du peuple.
A Sociolinguistic Exploration of Sociolects in Translation
Authors: BENLAKDAR Meriam
Published: January 2023

Translation is not a mere transfer of words; it is a process that intersects with many other disciplines such as sociolinguistics whose object of study is the relationship between language use and society. Since sociolects are language variations of particular social groups, the present paper attempts to answer the question of how sociolects are translated when the source and target languages are completely different, which can prove to be quite problematic for translators. It argues that sociolects may not be properly translated without adopting a sociolinguistic approach to achieve cross-cultural communication. The study aims to provide further insights into the way English sociolects are translated taking into account several variables as well as paralinguistic and extralinguistic features. The framework within which this study is conducted is sociolinguistic theory of translation which will be applied to some sociolects.

Translation Problems and Difficulties in Transferring Meanings in a Literary Work

ABSTRACT: The analysis focuses on the theory of translation, as well as the translation process, which can be regarded as a creative and intercultural endeavor. It presents translation as an art that encompasses cultural and communicative aspects. The core of the analysis lies in examining the levels and processes of cultural transfer in translations of German literature into Arabic. This work specifically focuses on literary translation. It not only clarifies the fundamental concepts of the translation field but also presents examples of literary translations from German to Arabic and from Arabic to German. It describes the difficulties that may arise in the translation process. By selecting excerpts from various literary works (German and Arabic prose texts), the creative activity of a translator is demonstrated, and their own translation process is presented. In conclusion, this work aims to depict the reality of literary translation in terms of translation skills and difficulties, as well as to highlight possible solutions.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Die Analyse befasst sich mit der Theorie der Übersetzung, sowie auch mit dem Übersetzungsverfahren, die als kreativer und interkultureller Prozess betrachtet werden können. Es wird eine Kunst dargestellt, die die Kultur- und Kommunikationsakt in sich trägt. Den Kern bildet dabei die Untersuchung von Kulturtransferebenen und -prozessen bei Übersetzungen deutscher Literatur ins Arabische. Diese Arbeit fokussiert die literarische Übersetzung. Es werden nicht nur die Grundbegriffe des Übersetzungsbereiches geklärt, sondern auch die Beispiele der literarischen Übersetzungen - aus dem Deutschen ins Arabische und aus dem Arabischen ins Deutsche - präsentiert, sowie auch die Schwierigkeiten beschrieben, die im Prozess der Übersetzung vorkommen können. Auf Grund den ausgewählten Textabschnitte aus verschiedenen literarischen Werken (deutsche und arabische Prosatexte) wird die schöpferische Tätigkeit eines Übersetzers gezeigt und das eigene übersetzerische Verfahren dargestellt. Zum Schluss die vorliegende Arbeit soll dazu beitragen, die literarische Übersetzungsrealität  in Hinblick auf die Übersetzungsfertigkeiten und Schwierigkeiten darzustellen sowie die Lösungsfindungen aufzuzeigen.
La Symbolique de la Mendiante dans « le Vice-Consul » de Marguerite Duras : Une Légende du Corps en Marge et au Centre du texte littéraire

The Symbolism of the Beggar Woman in "Le Vice-Consul" by Marguerite Duras: A Legend of the Body on the Margins and at the Center of the Literary Text

ABSTRACT: In Marguerite Duras' "Le Vice-Consul," the symbolism of the beggar woman is associated with the boundaries of the human experience, characterized by destitution and madness. This adventurous woman is buried beneath the stereotypical images of femininity, a myth of death imposed by collective discourse. Silence. With Marguerite Duras, violence erupts at the heart of language. Under the pressure of difference, the plurality of meanings shatters the unequivocal unity of the body, pleasure, sex, and the desire of discourse.

RÉSUMÉ :  Avec  Marguerite Duras, la symbolique de la mendiante dans « le vice consul » s’associe aux confins de l’humain, vouée à la famine et à la folie. Cette femme aventureuse en son désir est ensevelie sous les images d’Epinal de la féminité, ce mythe de mort qu’impose le discours collectif. Silence. Avec Marguerite Duras, la violence installée au cœur du langage explose. Sous la pression de la différence, la pluralité des sens fait éclater l’unicité péremptoire du corps, du plaisir, du sexe, du désir du discours.
A Brief Comparative Study of the Imperial Crises of China and Japan from the Eighteenth to the Mid-Nineteenth Centuries
Authors: CHAKRABORTY Arka
Published: January 2023

The concept of empire persisted throughout much of human history until the emergence of the nation-state structure in the past century. Imperialism, in various forms, continues to exist today. The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries witnessed the breakdown of traditional imperial authority worldwide and the rise of a new kind of power structure. This was the case for the Qing Empire (1644-1911 AD) in China and the Tokugawa Shogunate (1603-1868 AD) in Japan, both of which experienced the collapse of their existing power structures. The imperial crises faced by these two states exhibited similarities and notable differences. This paper aims to provide a concise overview of these two narratives and subsequently compare them, allowing for a deeper understanding of the circumstances and processes that led to and accompanied these distinctive experiences in the Far East during the nineteenth century.
Problématique de l’altération discursive dans la presse camerounaise : de la pictographie médiatique comme mise en mots du tiers-parlant des « émeutes urbaines de la faim » de 2008

Problem of Discursive Alteration in the Cameroonian Press: Media Pictography as the Verbalization of the "Third-Speaking" In The "Urban Riots of Hunger" in 2008

ABSTRACT: The "hunger riots" that affected most African countries in 2008 also led to a significant discursive production in Cameroon, which was extensively relayed by the media. Assuming that "media discourse is essentially a mediator of other discourses" (Moirand, 2006), this reflection questions the mediation manifested in and through the "multicode discourse" of the press cartoons. Drawing inspiration from "new considerations on the semiolinguistics of alteration," the study, based on a corpus of cartoons published in newspapers between February 13th and March 13th, 2008, posits that "any verbalization of the third-speaking as an act of reported discourse entails an evaluative attitude towards the reported speech" (Peytard, 1992, p.75). It then decrypts the modes of articulation of the "reported discourse" in and through the reporting discourse of the press cartoons and deduces the discursive relationship between the journalistic text and the pictographic text.

RÉSUMÉ:  Les « émeutes de la faim » qui frappent la plus part des pays africains en 2008, donnent lieu au Cameroun, à une abondante production discursive que les médias relayent abondamment. Postulant que « les discours des médias sont essentiellement des discours ‘médiateurs’ d’autres discours » (Moirand, 2006), la présente réflexion questionne la médiation manifestée dans et avec le « discours pluricode » de la presse dessinée. S’inspirant des « nouvelles considérations sur la sémiolinguistique de l’altération », l’étude qui s’appuie sur un corpus de dessins tirés des journaux parus entre le 13 févier et le 13 mars 2008, pose que « toute mise en mots du tiers-parlant comme acte de discours relaté comporte une attitude évaluative de la parole relatée » (Peytard, 1992 , p.75). Elle décrypte alors les modes d’articulation du « discours relaté » sur et dans le discours relatant de la presse dessinée et en déduit la relation discursive entre le texte journalistique et le texte pictographique.
