To this end, 28 participants were recorded reading a list of 24 words containing a pharyngeal sound (/ħ/ or /ʕ/) preceded (word-finally) or followed (word-initially) by a short or long vowel. A total of 1344 tokens were extracted and then analyzed in PRAAT. The first three formant frequencies (F1, F2, F3) of each vowel were manually measured at the midpoint. The measurements were then normalized using Nearey’s (1977) intrinsic formula to reduce the effect of physiological differences between male and female speakers. The findings of the study show no significant effects of age or gender on the production of the adjacent vowels word-initially or word-finally. This suggests that, unlike the case of pharyngealized sounds (e.g., Omari and Jaber (2019)), pharyngeal-to-vowel coarticulation is not affected by the sociolinguistic variables of age and gender.

To realize this goal, the study elucidates the forms of materialism that burden the world of Minaret, demonstrating how this world is pulled between two conflicting material ideologies that paralyze Najwa, the protagonist. The eventual malfunctioning of these two ideological paradigms is gradually neutralized (through Najwa’s experience) by the spiritual power accorded to her through the mosque. Najwa’s spiritual transformation takes place over a long period of being intermittently touched by mystical sparks that make her self-conscious of a deeply buried spiritual space in her personality, which has been detrimentally marginalized by the materialistic ideologies governing her former lifestyle. The mosque’s spiritual function is further stressed in the way Aboulela disconnects the mosque’s spirituality from any physicality. When the mosque is shown to have any spiritual effects, its corporeal value ceases to exist.\u0000Keywords: Leila Aboulela; Minaret; the Mosque; Spirituality; Materialism.","PeriodicalId":197303,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Modern Languages and Literatures","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130918051","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 data taken from Jordanian Arabic (JA) derivatives show that the notion canonical root has a substantial role in the emergence of such a default inflection. The findings also show that there is a tendency for the suffix /-i:n/ to be the marking default as an apparent form among other possible forms in JA despite the fact that they fall outside the ubiquitous regularity domain. These results provide strong evidence on the existence of multiple default systems in JA in addition to the Sound Feminine Plural marker with /a:t/. Finally, these findings conform to the symbolic accounts that rely upon computational mechanisms for the emergence of the default patterns. The findings also draw attention to the systematic suffixes that the derivative forms have /-a:n/ and thus motivate more predictions to the status of the inflected form bearing pseudo default features. \u0000Keywords: Pseudo default, Default Patterns, JA, Canonical Root, Symbolic Mechanism, Single Mechanism.","PeriodicalId":197303,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Modern Languages and Literatures","volume":"593 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117073885","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}

This talk gains its name perhaps because it occurs at the side or margin of the 'main talk' (henceforth MT) as it may not contribute to the core of a talk. This does not mean to neglect this kind of talk as it could show a crucial role in participants’ MT (Abu-Elrob 2019b). Therefore, the present paper aims to give ST the attention it deserves by analyzing its occurrence in remote classroom environment to find whether it is only talk filler or purposive. This study also conducted an analysis of ST types and the linguistic features realizing the occurrence of ST. For a deep analysis of the data (classroom MT and ST), the conversation analysis (CA) framework was used to analyze the sequences and turns. The findings showed the benefits of ST to the learning process in general and to the main topic of the lesson in particular. The findings provide insights into the importance of ST in the learning environment and how it can be developed as a strategy to improve this environment. \u0000Keywords: Distance Teaching, Classroom Talk, Small Talk, Conversation Analysis.","PeriodicalId":197303,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Modern Languages and Literatures","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124742597","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}

Translating dialects in literary genres is important for various reasons. The major one, among others, is that translating a dialect, from a language into another one, is crucial in reflecting a character's social personality, his/her educational background as well as the actual speech. In fact, playwrights attempt to describe certain geographical or regional features that are important in portraying life and characters of actors as should be in a literary work. The aim of the present study is to discuss some problems facing translators in translating dialects between English and Arabic. The proposed study also offers some suggestions to deal with such problems. Various types of English-Arabic and Arabic-English data will be used for illustration and for proposing some types of strategies to deal with dialect translation. The study expands on few previous studies related to dialect translation such as Hatim and Mason (1990 & 1997), Aziz (2002), Asfour (2007), and Farghal (2019). It also discusses the nature of dialect translation controversy between the proponents and opponents of the spoken and written forms of Arabic. \u0000Keywords: Dramatic Dialogue, Literary Genres, Dialect Translation, Translation Strategies.","PeriodicalId":197303,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Modern Languages and Literatures","volume":"647 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122696108","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}

Revisiting Interpretive Translation Method: A Case Study of Muhammad Thalib’s Quranic Translation 重新审视释义翻译方法——以穆罕默德·塔利卜的《古兰经》翻译为例

This research aims to evaluate the interpretive translation method from the canon of translation studies by investigating some techniques, methods, and ideology of the translation in Muhammad Thalib’s Quranic Translation of surah al-Wāqiah into Indonesian. This research employs a critical qualitative-cased study design. The results indicate that the translator applied several translation techniques in the translation of surah al-Wāqiah: established equivalence (47.05%), amplification (explication) (25.16%), implicitation (8.31%), modulation (6.12%), amplification (paraphrasing) (5.03%), transposition (2.85%), compensation (2.63%), discursive creation (1.31%), reduction (0.66%), pure borrowing (0. 44%), particularization (0.22%), and paraphrasing discursive creation (0.22%). These techniques are categorized under communicative translation method and domestication translation ideology. This research implies that the interpretive translation method is not dependable and serves as a unit of analysis to dissect Qur'anic translation text, given that it lies at the meso level. Therefore, this method must be reconstructed using translation techniques at the micro level. For this reason, the translators need to be more competent not only in bilingual, transfer, and cultural competencies, but also in declarative and procedural translation competencies as well. \u0000Keywords: Critical Translation, Muhammad Thalib, Al-Qur’an Translation, Translation Method, Tarjamah Tafsīriyah.","PeriodicalId":197303,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Modern Languages and Literatures","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114146848","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}
