{"title":"Modelling of Arabic Plosive and Fricative Acoustic Characteristics Articulated by Malay Native Speakers","authors":"Majdan Paharal Radzi, Shahidi A. Hamid","doi":"10.7187/gjat122022-7","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7187/gjat122022-7","url":null,"abstract":"This study aims to examine the pharyngealized and non-pharyngealized Arabic sounds produced by Malay speakers based on acoustic phonetic approach and to investigate its relation with the second language learning model proposed by Flege (1995). The plosive and fricative associated with the pharyngealized and non-pharyngealized of Arabic sounds is one of the main problems among non-Arabic native speakers in learning Arabic language. Recent studies emphasize the influence of the first language / mother tongue language as the cause of the failure to master the Arabic language as the second language. Hence the frameworks of the similar, different and new sound hypotheses proposed by Flege (1995) were used to get the real picture of the Arabic language speech phenomenon in the second language condition. PRAAT software was used to obtain speech data in the spectrogram and to undergo spectrograph analysis. Subsequently, the findings were analyzed using SPSS to highlight the overall results of the study more thoroughly. VOT (Voice Onset Time) acoustic parameters for the plosive sound and frication of the frication sounds were used during the spectrograph analysis. A total of 2880 spectrogram data were obtained from the subjects: 24 undergraduates from the Bachelor of Islamic Studies with Honors (Arabic Studies and Islamic Civilization) UKM. The results of the production experiment show that Malay plosive sound has negative VOT for voiced stop and short positive VOT for voiceless stop, while Arabic plosive sounds has a model pattern voicing lead versus long lag for voiced and voiceless stops respectively. The results show that Arabic voiceless stop / ت / is aspirated and found to has a longer VOT than Malay voiceless stop /t/. For Arabic pharyngealized sounds, the results show higher values of F1 than non-pharyngealized sounds. In addition, Arabic pharyngealized sounds are found to have shorter VOT than non-pharyngealized Arabic sounds. The findings showed that there were cases where subjects managed to replicate the L2 sound to similar sound of L1 and there were cases of L2 sounds that are foreign to the sound system of L1. With that in mind, it can be emphasized that some studies have supported Flege’s theory that the similar sound between L1 and L2 are not necessarily easy to pronounce, while there are L2 phonemes that are absent in L1, but they are easily learnt by the L2 speaker.","PeriodicalId":12715,"journal":{"name":"global journal al thaqafah","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81952789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Figurative and Rhetorical Language Style of the Speech of His Royal Highness Sultan Nazrin Shah the Sultan of Perak","authors":"Mohamad Hussin, Samsur Rijal Yahaya","doi":"10.7187/gjat122022-9","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7187/gjat122022-9","url":null,"abstract":"This study is a textual analysis on the figurative and rhetorical language style used in the speeche of DYMM Sultan Nazrin Shah, the Sultan of Perak, in conjunction with the “Konvensyen Memperkukuh Pasak Negara” convention. The objective is to examine the direct and indirect language styles used by the King in his formal speech and ideas he intended to convey. Gorys Keraf and Enos & Brown’s Modern Rhetorical Theory provides the theoretical grounding for this study. Both the figurative and the rhetoric expressions were extracted and classified according to suitable types. Results of the study show that Sultan Nazrin Shah has used various figurative and rhetoric language styles in his speech. These included the use of metaphor, personification, simile, antithesis, allegory, synecdoche, alliteration, assonance, acetone, tautology, hyperbole and paronomasia. The dignity of the Sultan Nazrin Shah is very much in line with his intellectual powers. His form of articulation has thus become his trademark as a sultan and a ruler of the State of Perak, in line with his desire to uphold Malay as the national language. The study also shows the sovereignty of the Malay language that, when upheld, could be the language that bridges the royal and the people. Hence, a research on leadership discourse such as this ought to be sanctioned in order to further strengthen Malay as the national language of Malaysia.","PeriodicalId":12715,"journal":{"name":"global journal al thaqafah","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80613528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Victimization is perpetuated in the time of war to serve pro-war narrative and justify violence against the other side of the equation. One party is made innocent and vulnerable while the other is shown to be capable of despicable acts and inconsiderate to any ethical standards. We investigate the position of American soldiers and locals in Iraq, both militant and civilian, and compare the novel’s approach towards their status as war victims. Americans and Iraqis are both victims of war in Powers’ novel, but Americans are its most visible and innocent casualty; their voices are consistently heard and their personal sufferings are untiringly detailed.","PeriodicalId":12715,"journal":{"name":"global journal al thaqafah","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83322144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Mapping of Semantic Domain of Aqidah: Solution to the Vagueness of Meaning","authors":"Indirawati Zahid, Noor Hidayat Abu Bakar, Wan Zailan Kamaruddin Wan Ali, K. Jusoff","doi":"10.7187/gjat122022-6","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7187/gjat122022-6","url":null,"abstract":"Semantic domain refers to words that share common semantic properties and are positioned in a specific area based on the semantic relations between them. This study aims to classify the semantic domain of Aqidah through the structure of semantic relations to overcome the vagueness that occurs in Kamus Dewan Perdana (KDP) and al-Muʿjam al-Wasit (MW). A qualitative method with Arabic loanwords (BA) and their definitions were collected from KDP while MW was used to cross-reference the etymology and definitions. BA in the semantic domain of Aqidah is classified based on the perspective of local Islamic Studies scholars, who divided Aqidah into three parts, namely Ilahiah, Nubuwah & Risalah, and Samʿiyat with the Pillars of Iman as Aqidah’s foundation. This mapping is structured by three semantic relations of hypernym, hyponym, and co-hyponym. The findings show intra-subdomain and intra-sub-subdomain relationships which explained the details of the meaning of a word through polysemous meanings and paraphrases such as baqa, kudrat, qarin, maksum, al-Quran and mukjizat. In conclusion, the mapping of the semantic domain of Aqidah shows that semantic relations happened in the three subdomains. As a result, the challenge in understanding the vague definition of Aqidah can be overcome with the role of lexical semantics through mapping the semantic domain. The vagueness solution of the Aqidah can contribute to a deeper understanding of its definition which is the core of various aspects in the lives of the Islam followers.","PeriodicalId":12715,"journal":{"name":"global journal al thaqafah","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81563111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Malaysian Halal Certification: A Study of Compliance Behavior of Muslim Entrepreneurs","authors":"Siti Khalilah Basarud-din, R.

It contributed about 8.1% to Malaysia’s GDP in 2020. Notwithstanding that, the applications of and compliance with halal certification among Muslim entrepreneurs remains significantly low. Ironically, Muslim entrepreneurs stand to suffer losses of up to 60% due to the absence of the halal logo on their products resulting from their low halal compliance behavior. This study proposes to identify factors affecting the compliance behavior among Muslim entrepreneurs in relation to the Malaysian halal certification. Data were collected through personally administered questionnaires that were distributed to 400 selected Muslim entrepreneurs in Malaysia. Research samples were chosen using random sampling techniques from the list provided by Small and Medium Enterprise Corporation Malaysia (SME Corp). This study used the structural equation model (PLS-SEM) analysis to process the effects of independent and mediator variables on the compliance behavior of the Muslim entrepreneurs. Result shows that there is a positive and significant effect of attitude, social influence, and awareness on the behavioral intention to comply with the Malaysian halal certification. Mediating factors of attitude and awareness show positive and significant relationships between social influences and the intention to comply with halal certification. Finally, intention also has a significant and positive effect on the compliance behavior of Malaysian Muslim entrepreneurs on halal certification. Research outcomes highlight the importance of local authorities and policymakers enhancing their strategies to ensure more Muslim entrepreneurs comply with the Malaysian halal certification. This study hopes to contribute to existing scholarship particularly on the compliance behavior of halal certification among Muslim entrepreneurs.","PeriodicalId":12715,"journal":{"name":"global journal al thaqafah","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89809250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
