To conduct a rigorous analysis, the article builds on Jones’s (2002) analytic toolkit for antonym sequence (Chapter 8, 120-137) and tests it on a dataset manually collected from the Qur’an (1420 antonymous pairs). The toolkit accounts for antonym order in language use according to sequence rules which include morphology, positivity, magnitude, chronology, gender, phonology, idiomaticity, frequency, and markedness. The results showed that most of these rules are retrievable and replicable across Qur’anic Arabic, with, however, both quantitative and qualitative variations due to the peculiarly idiosyncratic nature of the Qur’an. Given that not all these sequential rules are applicable, new ones were developed: context, end-rhyme, and distance. The general conclusion is that Qur’anic antonym sequences are ruled by rigorous principles that are sometimes overruled for teleological reasons. \u0000Keywords: Qur’anic Arabic, Antonym Sequence, Emic Typology, Etiological Approach.","PeriodicalId":197303,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Modern Languages and Literatures","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130941653","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 internet-based data serving as a research tool for the present study explained the dynamic functions of death-related euphemisms, showing that what had been avoided before burning because of its dysphemistic sense (assassination and murder) was used as a euphemism and as a gentler substitute for the unexpected burning. Conceptual metaphor was also used as a euphemistic substitute for the ugly burning of the pilot, and not as doublespeak aimed at hiding the reality. The use of the word sacrifice in place of burning, the conceptualization of death and burning as journey and facing or cuddling fate or angles were found to be euphemistic alternatives used to report the act of burning the Jordanian Air Force Pilot Moath Al-Kasasbeh. Examining euphemisms in conjunction with face wants and politeness, it was found that burning euphemisms which are based on lexical substitutions are aimed at saving the public self-image of the pilot’s bereaved family and protecting their self-esteem.\u0000Keywords: Euphemism; Dysphemism; Pragmatic, Politeness, Burning, Metaphor.","PeriodicalId":197303,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Modern Languages and Literatures","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129337879","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 phonological variable (ðˤ) has two variants: a traditional [ðˤ] and an innovative [dˤ]. The main objective of this study is to examine if religion is a statistically significant social factor in relation to the variable in question. The data is elicited from recorded sociolinguistic interviews and analysed via Rbrul. The results show that religion has no statistically significant influence on the pronunciation of the linguistic variable under investigation. The pattern of linguistic change with regard to (ðˤ) seems to be a typical change in progress away from the traditional variant [ðˤ] in favour of the innovative variant [dˤ]. This change is clearly led by the young female generation. The findings regarding the nonsignificant role of religion on variant choice in Al-Wahadneh can be interpreted in relation to how Christians and Muslims live in the town and how they both view themselves as Jordanian Arabs regardless of their religious affiliation. \u0000Keywords: Religion, Variationist Sociolinguistics, Age, Gender.","PeriodicalId":197303,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Modern Languages and Literatures","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114403730","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}

Malkawi, Bilal Sayaheen","doi":"10.47012/jjmll.15.1.4","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47012/jjmll.15.1.4","url":null,"abstract":"As the twentieth century turned into the twenty-first century, counter discourses emerged to challenge orientalism, colonialism, postcolonialism, capitalism, and globalization in cultural studies. Frequently bound up with culture and politics, the Arab “intellectual” effectively criticizes issues important to the Arab world. Drawing on this viewpoint, this paper examines the intellectual’s social and political role in Ghassan Kanafani’s Aid ila Haifa, translated into English as Returning to Haifa (2000) by Karen Riley, and Sahar Khalifeh’s Rabi' Harr, translated into English as The End of Spring (2008) by Paula Haydar. Edward Said’s ideas about the “intellectual”, “secular criticism”, “origins and beginnings” are the framework used to understand the intellectual’s role in writing-as-action and calling for necessary change. Whenever there is intellectuality, there are power relations entrenched in language. Insofar as the two Arabic originals are read in translation as well, and due to the rise of the cultural turn in translation studies, this paper, correspondingly, considers choices/contributions made by the translators that serve to align the “intellectual” with his/her orientation in the English versions, thus actively exercising a sort of language power that responds to the dominant discourse. The paper reveals that foreignization in the form of literalness, hybridity, and cultural mediation serve the “intellectual” in the translation culture.\u0000Keywords: The Intellectual, Origin and Beginning, Secular Criticism, Cultural Turn in Translation, Power Relations in Translation.","PeriodicalId":197303,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Modern Languages and Literatures","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130524422","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}
