This paper is an interdisciplinary and applied research that aims to extract and represent the three stages of pathology and the connection between Quranic teachings and modern sciences and descriptively-analytically identify the harms of social relations. By combining the triangle of behavior mechanism and the social cognitive theory of Bandura and by following the three stages of pathology, an innovative structure in the pathology of social relationships has been achieved, which is in line with the findings of psychology and confirms Quranic teachings. The structure first identifies the desired state, then diagnoses harms, and finally presents strategies for preventing and treating harms in four dimensions: cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and environmental. It also demonstrates that in the identification phase the absence or defect of any of the components may damage interpersonal relationships. In the diagnosis and introduction phases, any of the harms can take the relationship out of the desired and effective state. In the prevention and treatment phases, the teachings of the Holy Quran have a systematic structure that can create a great change in improving social relations.","PeriodicalId":135397,"journal":{"name":"Arabic Language, Literature & Culture","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115214942","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":"Taoism and Confucianism as a Reflection of African Artistic Creation: The Case of Bamileke Art in West Cameroon","authors":"Djoukwo Tsanetse Majolie Carine, Ai-Yan Wang","doi":"10.11648/J.ALLC.20210602.13","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11648/J.ALLC.20210602.13","url":null,"abstract":"Rendered in Africa by curiosity, researchers have issued divergent opinions about the cultivation of different peoples. Some have been taken aback by the wealth of artistic production, while others believed that Africa did lack history. Father Engelbert Mveng reacted to these aberrations by arguing that the history of Africa is written in art and that we are so often uneducated before this writing. The Reverend Father wanted to represent the fundamental structure of works of art in Sub-Saharan Africa. The work of art in African artistic design does not simply reproduce nature as it is done in Western realism. It is more of a form of expression, a language, or a narrative being told. The two aspects gathered, namely the signifier and the signified, real and unreal, soul and body, are, in a sense, the different binomials that characterize traditional African art and give it existence. In other words, the existence of an artwork in Africa improves the moment these two elements are present. In Asia, there are two philosophical thoughts that, far from being completely contradictory, share a common foundation. It is in Taoism and Confucianism, that the concept of Yin and Yang is associated. These doctrines allow us to translate more concretely the concept of duality in African arts, which will be illustrated in this study by the art of the Bamileke people. Taoism is oriented towards eternal and supernatural values while Confucianism is cored and geared to human morals and ethics. Taoism here refers to the spirit of the work, on its unreal side while Confucianism referred to the body of the work, on its real side. The argument consists of two parts: first a comparative study between Chinese aesthetics and the aesthetics of the Bamileke people, then the convergence of thought that exists between the two cultures. Thus, Taoism and Confucianism are with Buddhism the foundation of the Chinese culture, making it a civilization that is needed under all heaven. As a result, the question is why African culture, despite having the same assets as its Asian counterpart, is still learning how to assert itself on the global art scene, despite its natural and human potential.","PeriodicalId":135397,"journal":{"name":"Arabic Language, Literature & Culture","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131919268","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}

Different phonological phenomena in different many languages have been investigated in terms of optimality theory. The phonological structures of Arabic suffer from some changes like deletion, substitution and other processes that underlie the systematic derivation (Al-ishtiqaaq) of vowels. In terms of Optimality Theory, this paper investigates two issues: First, the conflicted faithfulness and markedness constraints that govern vowels through derivation, and second, how these constraints are ranked. Finding out such constraints can provide the storage of the universal constraints by new ones and discovering how Arabic ranks these universal constraints. The current study adopted the mechanism that is proposed by the optimality theory. At the same time, the paper suggested some constraints that has been tested and formulated according to the theory in question. The ranking of these constraints also have been investigated. The study led to demonstrating the existence of the suggested constraints that work during derivation. It also represented how these constraints are ranked. Some of the discovered constraints are already found in the universal storage of constraints and others are peculiar to Arabic. It is found that the SAK constraint (the absence of the Arabic short vowels) plays a fundamental role in vowels derivation.","PeriodicalId":135397,"journal":{"name":"Arabic Language, Literature & Culture","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128438321","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}

More specifically, the study addressed the following research questions: (1) What are the effects of cooperative learning on students’ writing performance? (2) Which one of the components of writing most benefited from the cooperative learning approach? And the following hypotheses: (Ho) There is no significant difference in the mean gain scores of the writing performance before and after the incorporation of cooperative learning and (H1) There is a significant difference in the mean gain scores of the writing performance before and after the incorporation of cooperative learning. This research project was mainly experimental in design. Pre-test and post-test measures were analyzed using a t-test statistical procedure. The main subjects of the study were two sections of Grade 11 students. Moreover, 60 students, 30 each from two natural science classes were randomly grouped as experimental and control groups. The effects of CL on students’ writing ability was examined through the pre-test and the post-test. The results of the pre-test showed that there was no significant difference in the students’ writing between the control and experimental groups prior to the experiment. The results of the post-test showed that there was a significant difference between the control and experimental groups in students’ writing abilities (P<0.05). Therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis was proved to bring change on students’ writing ability. Similarly, the study also identified that organization is the basic component of writing skill that benefited most from the cooperative learning approach. However the current study was showed positive effects of CL on students’ writing performance, in the future researches can be conducted on the effects of CL on other language skills.","PeriodicalId":135397,"journal":{"name":"Arabic Language, Literature & Culture","volume":"197 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115676815","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}

The aim of the present study was to investigate the language of dominance and its pattern in Malayalam –Hindi bilinguals using interlingual homophones. Twenty native speakers of Malayalam and 20 non- native Malayalam speakers participated who were graduate students. A non-standardized list of 20 paired- words was formed as a stimuli. Words belonging to both the languages (Malayalam and Hindi), having the pronunciation but different meaning were selected for the study. The findings of the present study suggested that one can perform better in first language (L1) without the interference of the other (L2) effectively, giving the picture oftwo separate lexicons for both the languages. They show a selective lexical-access (i.e., only one language is stimulated at a time) and this is in accordance with the earlier findings.","PeriodicalId":135397,"journal":{"name":"Arabic Language, Literature & Culture","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132232733","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}

It studies the techniques of public speech and reveals the sources of power that allow an oratress to manipulate and persuade her receivers. It also states the limitations of woman’s public confrontation with a mixed audience. The point is that the gender of the female speaker may weaken the impact of her performance on her targeted addressees because of the hostile societal view towards women as leaders, the view of the female body as a source of delight by a male audience and as a generator of money by a capitalist sponsor. However, women performers can even deliver more influential verbal orations than males if they use their own female qualities and adhere to a set of tools such as rhetoric, body language, feminine manners, histrionic character, etc. A powerful public address can help woman resist commodification in a capitalist culture and objectification in a patriarchal society.","PeriodicalId":135397,"journal":{"name":"Arabic Language, Literature & Culture","volume":"20 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132547330","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}

After using judgement sampling technique to select Tawfīq al-Hakīm’s Masīrus Sārsār (The Fate of a Cockroach) and text-based ethnography to collect data, the study adopted a qualitative design that employed descriptive analytical method to analyse and interpret the chosen play.
