These recommendations aimed to facilitate more effective and contextually appropriate communication in academic, professional, and social settings.
SubCom: A parallel corpus of English-Arabic comedy shows subtitles
Authors: Abu-Rayyash Hussein , Alhawamdeh Shatha
Published: January 2024

Translating humor is challenging as it is often tied to niche linguistic, interactional, and psychological contexts. This paper presents a new English-Arabic parallel corpus of stand-up comedy shows subtitles as a pedagogic tool for translating authentic examples of humor. Furthermore, the researchers experiment with the corpus by designing customized translator training tasks for checking the accuracy of translating verbal irony in a humor translation workshop. The tasks are designed based on bottom-up and top-down scaffolding of learning objectives based on a revised model of Bloom's taxonomy (2001). Moreover, the researchers propose Mateo's model of translating irony (1995) as a method of translating verbal irony in the context of stand-up comedy shows. Finally, the researchers recommend using parallel corpora as a pedagogic tool in humor translation training workshops and classrooms to bring the elements of trainees' creativity to overcome controversial translation issues.

Authors: Al-Zubaidi Rasha Tareq Awad
Published: January 2024

This study pragmatically investigates incivility in the first Trump-Biden American political debate. This topic is chosen for its significant negative impact on both individuals and society as a whole, particularly in the political arena. The current study endeavors to achieve the following aims:(1) Specifying the types of incivility used in the Trump-Biden first American political debate, (2) Identifying the prevailing functions of incivility in the chosen data, (3) Finding out the pragmatic strategies employed by the two rivals. To achieve these aims, the following procedures are adopted: (1) Presenting a literature review about the pragmatics of incivility, (2) Adopting an eclectic model to analyze the chosen data pragmatically, and (3) Analyzing the data both qualitatively and quantitatively to come up with some conclusions. The fundamental conclusion of the current study is that debaters in American political debates employ three types of incivility, namely, invectives and ridicule, hyperbole and distortion, and emotionality and histrionics. These three types are pragmatically realized through different pragmatic strategies, such as speech acts, non-observance of maxims, impoliteness strategies, and argumentative appeals.
Discursive metaphorical representation of COVID-19 Pandemic in Kenya’s newspaper headlines
Authors: Mulonzi Brian , Ngumo Mugambi , Omoke Lilian
Published: January 2024

This study aimed to address the dearth of knowledge regarding the portrayal of the COVID-19 pandemic in Kenyan print media, focusing specifically on newspaper headlines. Employing Van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Lakoff & Johnson's Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT), the research examined 39 headlines from The Standard and The Daily Nation newspapers, applying inferential statistics via STATA version 15. Van Dijk's categorization of texts into micro and macro levels and Lakoff and Johnson's assertion that our ordinary conceptual system relies heavily on metaphors underpin the methodology. The analysis combined CDA with Pragglejazz Group's Metaphor Identification Procedure (MIP) to uncover that the majority of metaphors in these headlines constructed COVID-19 pandemic in Kenya in a grim light, associating it with war, death, and bondage. While these metaphors serve as cautionary messages, they fall short in capturing the proactive measures employed to combat the pandemic. This study's significance lies in its fusion of insights from CDA and CMT, shedding light on how media language exposes cognition and ideology while also revealing the media's influence on public perception of the pandemic.

Authors: Saideen Bassam , Thalji Abdullah , Lababaneh Abdulkareem , Tartory Raeda , Haider Ahmad S , Obeidat Mohammed
Published: January 2024

Purpose: This study examined the translation strategies employed in subtitling the Jordanian Movie The Alleys from Jordanian vernacular into English, with special attention to culture-specific items (CSIs) and swear words.

Design/Methodology: The selected movie was produced in 2022 and aired on Netflix. After watching the movie and examining the subtitles, the researchers grouped them into two main categories: culture-specific items (CSIs) and Swear Words. The themes subcategorized under CSIs include i) idioms and proverbs, ii) terms of address, iii) religious expressions, iv) oaths, and v) food and drinks. The themes identified in the movie and subcategorized under Swear Words include i) relative-related, ii) sex-related, iii) animal-related, iv) excretion, and v) rudeness and disrespect. The study utilized the translation strategies proposed by Baker (2001), Gottlieb (1992), and Mughazy (2016).

Findings: The findings showed that the strategies used in translating idioms and proverbs are metaphorical approximation (idiom to idiom), metaphorization, and literalization (paraphrase). The strategies used in rendering terms of address, religious expressions, food & drinks are cultural adaptation, deletion, substitution, and generalization. Swear words were translated using various strategies: substitution, addition, deletion, or literal translation.

Practical Implications: The study concluded that language could be creatively and strategically altered to capture cultural contexts, feelings, and underlying meanings. These translation choices might not be merely linguistic tweaks but calculated efforts to accurately capture the essence of the original expressions with clarity and emotional resonance in the target language.
Consuming the non-human and the less-than-human: A critical study of Sarah Kane’s Blasted (1995)
Authors: Singh Maninder , Bhattacharya Suchismita
Published: January 2024

The epoch of the Anthropocene, with accelerating technological advances and growing economic and social inequalities, have made the spatial reality more violent, intolerable, discriminatory and disintegrating. These growing inequalities set the conditions for exploitation and subjugation. While the privileged section of the human population buys their way out and lives comfortably within the closed spaces of their gated communities amidst the global devastation; the underprivileged, on the other hand, have to confront the consequences. Within the privileged closed space, the food is available in abundance, and is lavishly served, consumed and even wasted; but for those outside the privileged closed space, the scarcity and unavailability of food is an imminent threat. The paper focuses on the fragility of the economy of food within the gradually worsening Anthropocene condition, especially the over-dependence of global food supply chains. The paper places Sarah Kane’s play Blasted (1995) in one such condition, such as conflict or war, in which the food supply is halted and the havoc is unleashed. In Blasted, the object of consumption, the food eaten by human subjects when the food supply chains are unharmed, is the non-human flora and fauna. And when the food supply chains are disrupted or halted, when the bubble of a safe closed space bursts and when the food is hard to come by, the natural instinct to survive kicks in and the human subjects do everything in their power to survive, including cannibalizing the less-that-human or the dehumanized Other.

Authors: Ibrahim Abdullah Mahmod , Almazaidah Ismail Suliman , Allawzi Areej
Published: January 2024

This research aims to identify the relationship between the concepts of "literary theory" and "literary criticism"; as a crisis was formed in reaching an agreement between the critics on defining the concept of these terms. Thus, the research seeks to identify these two terms and examine their implications in the modern literary lesson. The research takes an analytical and investigative approach based on how to use terms, understand them and apply them in research writing. The research has found that there is a discrepancy in the use of terms and their understanding and invocation in research writing. These terms came to us from Europe, which took them from the Greek and Latin cultures. The research concludes that there is a difference between critics and writers during the literary study about basic concepts, which requires them to go through them by definition, commentary, and deduction, such as the concept of literature itself, creativity, reception, criticism, literary history, literary schools, and others.

How do financial regulations and economic freedoms affect bank profitability? Empirical Evidence from the OIC Region
Authors: Yimam Ousman Mohammed
Published: January 2024

Banks operating within a free economic environment and with constructive regulatory frameworks can function with enhanced efficiency, augmenting their profitability. This study aimed to examine the influence of economic freedom and financial restrictions on banks' profitability within the Organization of Islamic Cooperation member nations. The study used a sample of 1453 banks, collecting panel data spanning 13 years. The System-GMM methodology was justified based on the enduring characteristics of the data and the profitability metrics. The dependent variables, namely the Net Income Margin, Return on Average Assets, and Return on Average Equity were individually examined. The research findings indicate that most economic freedom indicators, except for investment freedom, harm bank profitability. The influence of the rule of law on profitability indicators is mostly adverse, although regulatory quality within the financial system has a comparatively favorable effect on profitability. Furthermore, bank-specific performance indicators had a negative impact on profitability, except for bank size. Moreover, country-specific variables substantially impact banks' profitability, including inflation, tax, and interest rates. The presence of Islamic banking has been shown to substantially impact the profitability performance of banks within the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. OIC banks' profitability is adversely impacted by the ongoing health crises, including the Covid-19 pandemic.

Authors: Yousuf Moosa
Published: January 2024

This study examines the role of news sentiments in the GCC equity markets’ connectedness. We collected news titles for the period from 22nd June 2006 until 31st December 2020 from Gulf News, which is the most widely read English newspaper in the Arab World. We filter these news titles using a carefully designed list of keywords that capture public sentiment on matters related to financial markets. Next, we classify the news titles to compute the geographically distinguished sentiment indexes that allow for a detailed analysis of the source of news sentiment spillovers to compare the impact of domestic versus regional sentiments on the equity markets of GCC countries. Our quantile regression results reveal that equity markets in the GCC are most sensitive to news sentiments when underperforming. Moreover, our results from the connectedness approach suggest that the UAE equity markets are most influenced by domestic sentiments, whilst the KSA equity market is most influenced by regional sentiments from the other GCC countries. Mixed results are found for other countries. The time-varying component of this study also shows that the influence of news spillovers intensified during the major crises events, including the COVID-19 outbreak.

Tafsiri au Uandishi Mpya: Uchambuzi wa Tamthiliya ya Kinjeketile
Authors: Pembe Hilda , Simon Chipanda
Published: January 2024

Tafsiri hujishughulisha na usafirishaji wa ujumbe ulio katika maandishi kutoka lugha asilia kwenda lugha pokezi ambao hufanywa na mwandishi mwenyewe au mtaalamu mwingine. Makala haya yanachunguza tamthiliya ya Kinjeketile iliyoandikwa kwa Kiswahili kwa mara ya kwanza mwaka 1969 kisha ikatafsiriwa kwa Kiingereza na mwandishi mwenyewe Ebrahimu Hussen kama Kinjeketile mwaka huo huo wa 1969. Kimahususi, makala inachunguza ni kwa namna gani mtafsiri ameweza kuweka usawa wa ujumbe na mtindo baina ya matini asilia na matini pokezi wakati yeye ndiye mwandishi wa tamthiliya hiyo na ameitafsiri mwaka huo huo. Je alitafsiri au aliandika tamthiliya mpya iliyo katika lugha ya Kiingereza? Utafiti umetumia mkabala wa kistahilifu linganishi (correlation qualitative design) kwa kiasi kikubwa japo mkabala wa takwimu umejitokeza kidogo. Data zimekusanywa kwa kutumia mbinu ya upekuzi matini (documentary review). Nadharia ya ulinganifu imetumika katika uchanganuzi wa data kama ilivyojadiliwa na Nida (1964), Catford (1965) na Newmark (1988).  Utafiti umebaini kuwa tamthiliya ya Kinjeketile ya Kiingereza ni matini mpya na sio tafsiri kutokana na utofauti wake katika utangulizi, muundo pamoja na idadi na utumizi wa majina ya wahusika.

Azma kuu ya uchunguzi huu ni kutathmini mchango wa tafsiri mkopo wa msamiati wa Kiingereza katika suala zima la kukuza lugha ya Kiswahili. Kwa mujibu wa makala hii eneo hili halijapewa aula miongoni mwa mada mbalimbali za tafsiri zilizokwishachunguzwa. Hii imemuhamasisha mtafiti kulishughulikia eneo hili. Data ya makala hii ilikusanywa uwandani katika idara na taasisi zilizo katika jiji la Dar es Salaam kwa njia ya usaili, hojaji na chanzo cha data cha maktabani. Idara na taasisi zilizohusishwa katika ukusanyaji wa data ni: Idara ya Lugha za Kigeni na Isimu, TATAKI kutoka Chuo Kikuu cha Dar es Salaam pamoja na BAKIZA. Idara na taasisi hizi zinapatikana mkoani Dar es Salaam Wilaya ya Ubungo ambapo mtafiti alifanikiwa kudodosa na kufanya mahojiano ya ana kwa ana kwa wataalamu wa tafsiri. Aidha, data ilikusanywa kutoka katika matini mbalimbali kutoka chanzo cha data cha maktabani. Mathalani, kamusi, tasinifu, majarida na vitabu kadhaa kulingana na mada ya makala hii. Malengo ya makala hii yametimizwa kwa kuongozwa na Nadharia ya Istilahi za Kisayansi iliyoasisiwa na Kiingi (1989) na kuendelezwa na Kiingi (1992) na Kiingi (1998) na Mwaro-Were (2000, 2001). Halikadhalika, data ya makala hii imechambuliwa kwa kutumia mkabala wa maelezo. Aidha, matokeo yameonesha kuwa Kiswahili kimejipatia istilahi lukuki katika tasnia ya biolojia, fizikia pamoja na kemia kupitia mkakati wa tafsiri mkopo. Makala hii ni muhimu kwa wanaisimu kwani inabainisha istilahi mbalimbali za lugha ya Kiingereza katika uwanja wa biolojia, fizikia pamoja na kemia zilizoingizwa katika Kiswahili kupitia tafsiri mkopo. Inapendekezwa kuwa watafiti wa lugha wachunguze njia nyinginezo za ukopaji zinazokiendeleza Kiswahili kama vile utohozi na uasilishaji.
