The aim is twofold: first to investigate the translational procedures used to render them and, second, to see what linguistic and cultural constraints determine translational choices. The corpus consists of first-encountered 100 Arabic utterances featuring names of body parts extracted from Naguib Mahfouz’s (1947) novel زقاق المدق and their English renditions in LeGassick’s translation Zuqaq Almadaq (1992). The data is first categorized in terms of literal and figurative use, and then the latter is classified into metonymy and synecdoche. The results show that translational choices are governed by linguistic, aesthetic, and cultural constraints of both English and Arabic discourse. The study concludes that reference to body parts varies in terms of frequency in favor of Arabic but they are a common feature of both languages’ literary discourse. Therefore, the translator has to be sensitive to their literal as well as figurative meaning within each culture, in order to provide, when possible, a parallel physical description and preserve the aesthetic value of metonymic and synecdochic expressions. \u0000Keywords: Arabic, English, Body parts, Metonymy, Synecdoche, Translation.","PeriodicalId":197303,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Modern Languages and Literatures","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126253362","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}

Both verbal and non-verbal clauses in MJA use different negative variants. The study shows that negation of verbal clauses in MJA is categorical with a strong preference for the old preverbal negative proclitic maa- over the new negative markers that include the discontinuous negative variant maa … ʃ and the enclitic -ʃ. Negation of non-verbal clauses, on the other hand, manifests significant variation with an indication of a change in progress toward more use of the new non-verbal negative variant muʃ at the expense of the remaining two old variants muu and the negative pronouns. The study reveals that variation in the negation system of non-verbal clauses in MJA is constrained by some social factors such as age, sex, level of education, and place of origin. In particular, the study shows that young, female, educated, rural speakers of MJA are leading the change toward the new non-verbal negative variant muʃ. The observations that are based on the distributional and statistical analyses of the study indicate that level of education and place of origin show the highest statistical significance followed by age and sex factors. Finally, we claim that the new non-verbal negative variant muʃ in MJA has not resulted from the Jespersen’s Cycle; rather, it has been borrowed into MJA from other local Jordanian Arabic vernaculars that have already undergone the Cycle. \u0000Keywords: Variationist Sociolinguistics, Negation, Language Change, Language Contact, Ma’an Jordanian Arabic.","PeriodicalId":197303,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Modern Languages and Literatures","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129975085","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}

To answer the challenge of modernity, many pesantrens reform their curriculum. A pesantren, Nurul Jadid, follows this step by offering foreign languages, besides Arabic. Inspired by China’s economic rise, Nurul Jadid includes Chinese in its curriculum. This study investigates how Nurul Jadid promotes Chinese among pesantren students so that they invest in the language. This study employs a qualitative research design and draws on the concept of global language (Crystal 2003), Bourdieu’s cultural capital and social reproduction theory (Bourdieu and Passeron 1990). Data are obtained through in-depth interviews with 13 participants. The findings show that Nurul Jadid promotes Chinese through the creation of the school’s image and the use of religious guidance. These efforts transform Chinese into a cultural capital its students can accumulate for the sake of their mobility. In so doing, the students, most of whom come from working-class background, invest in Chinese, which then functions as a symbolic capital that helps them challenge social reproduction.\u0000Keywords: Language Investment, Pesantren, Social Reproduction.","PeriodicalId":197303,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Modern Languages and Literatures","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125136188","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}

Using the principles of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Discourse Historical Approach (DHA), the study analyses place names as arenas of power struggle and explores the additional functions they play. It studies the distribution of ethnonyms in the names of 1161 villages and the impact of the historical, socio-political, and economic factors on their choice. The study shows that there are two types of ethnonyms used in the two areas and that their distribution is more widespread in the toponymies of Rufa’a than in that of Hassahiesa. It further shows that the unequal distribution of ethnonyms is the result of herders’ migrations to the Butana plain and the introduction of the agricultural scheme and light industries in Gezira. The study demonstrates that the inhabitants of Rufa’a used ethnonyms as a passive resistance strategy to challenge state power. On the other hand, the decreased number of the feature in Hassahiesa is an indication of its farmers’ population integration in the colonial development projects and their tendency to form multi-ethnic and cooperative communities. It indicates that ethnonyms are utilized as identity constructive and perpetuating strategies and as boundary demarcation markers.\u0000Keywords: Critical Discourse Analysis, Discourse Historical Approach, Ethnonyms, Toponymy, Sudan.","PeriodicalId":197303,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Modern Languages and Literatures","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126522709","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}

La période qui a séparé entre les deux versions a créé des changements plus ou moins radicaux dans l’histoire du personnage de Don Juan. Dom Juan de Molière a été inspiré de l’histoire d’une personne réelle, c’est l’espagnol Don Juan d’Osuna, le père de Tirso de Molina qui a écrit L’abuseur de Séville et l’invité de pierre (El burlador de Sevilla y convidado de piedra), considéré le premier Don Juan littéraire. L’origine réelle de ce personnage passe de la légende au mythe grâce à la création littéraire de Molière et ses successeurs qui l’ont réécrit, soit par des œuvres qui partent de la même histoire, soit par des œuvres dont le caractère des personnages est donjuanesque. Le héros de Schmitt adopte des positions que jamais le héros de Molière n’a prises. Il cède sa position du conquérant et paraît beaucoup moins faible devant ses victimes. La femme ne l’intéresse plus. Une inclination homosexuelle a bouleversé les caractères donjuanesques depuis la version de Molina. La comédie de Molière est bien exceptionnelle. La dimension sérieuse des sujets sociaux est encadrée par du comique. Schmitt, de sa part, a présenté le donjuanisme dans un cadre moins comique, dont le sérieux est dominant ; des attitudes, des prises de positions de la femme ont pris une démarche bien différente de l’histoire originelle. Il s’agira enfin des tragi-comédies au fond de l’action.\u0000Mots-clés : Don Juan, Donjuanisme, Identité, Tragi-comédie, Légende, Mythe.","PeriodicalId":197303,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Modern Languages and Literatures","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129575012","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 is also to discuss the intersection of memory, trauma, and mourning concerning the immigrant experience. In terms of cultural assimilation, Barkan's six-stage model is critiqued, and diasporic ‘hybridity’ is proposed as an alternative to the notion of total assimilation. In the analysis of traumatic experience, the paper refers to Caruth’s formulations of the ‘abreactive model’. The Sleepwalker’s Guide to Dancing (2013) is a transcultural text that represents the gap that exists between first-generation Indian immigrants and their offspring. It is selected for analysis because it is a typical trauma novel featuring timeless and unspeakable experiences. The novel does not present a postcolonial collective trauma but an example of diasporic imagined trauma. By introducing two contrasting generations in her novel, Mira Jacob attempts to highlight the cultural dilemmas that baffle diasporas in the United States particularly those that resist assimilation. The textual analysis reveals that much of the narrative projects the haunting presence of home and the anguish of personal loss experienced by first-generation immigrants. Moreover, the novel questions the nostalgic and romantic engagements with the past, and it rather promotes a bold affirmation of the culture of the adopted land. In other words, Mira Jacob calls for more genuine engagements with the new culture that the second and third-generation immigrants are more exposed to than their home culture because their in-between status leaves them with no choice.\u0000Keywords: Assimilation, Memory, Identity, Trauma, Diasporic Experience.","PeriodicalId":197303,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Modern Languages and Literatures","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117127885","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}
