    A Comparative Study Of Sanskrit Loanwords In Standard Thai And Patani Malay Languages
    (2025-07)
    Songkhla, Angsana Na
    This study investigates Sanskrit loanwords in Thai and Patani Malay as a result of the spread of Indianization in Southeast Asia (Thepa & Saengpare, 2022; Halimshah, 2019). Thailand is one of Southeast Asia's biggest and most ethnically varied nations. Thailand is a multilingual nation, home to more than 70 minority languages (Premsrirat & Burarungrot, 2021). Among these is Patani Malay, which is spoken by Thai Malays in the southernmost regions (Sisamouth, 2017). There are no studies focusing on the comparison between both languages (Chaipunya, 2018). On that account, the aims of this study were to find out the proportion of Sanskrit words in Thai and Patani Malay and to investigate the phonetic and semantic similarity and difference of Sanskrit loanwords in both languages.

    (2025-07)
    Hussein, Abdallah Abed Alhamid Abdallah
    This research was carried out to investigate the graffiti of Palestinians in refugee camps in Jordan from the perspectives of sociolinguistics and the sociology of language to figure out the language functions of the graffiti, linguistic features and rhetorical devices and the social problems that affect Palestinian refugees. To figure out the language functions, the study adopted Jakobson’s (1960) theory, Harris’s (1997) theory, and Erlingsson and Brysiewicz (2017) model. To answer the research questions, a sample of two hundred and forty-four graffiti have been collected from four camps using systematic sampling method. The findings revealed that Palestinian refugees' graffiti served eighteen language functions, highlighting key issues, including expressing patriotism, love and personality, feelings and leaving memories. The findings showed that the graffiti fulfilled eleven linguistic features that fell within the areas of syntax, phonology and semantics. The findings also showed that the graffiti employed sixteen rhetorical devices that were used to glorify resistance, ridicule living conditions, express love and irony, show emphasis, contrast and arouse curiosity.

    A Critical Discourse Analysis Of Ideological Impact On The Selected Translation Of Qur’an Verses By George Sale
    (2025-09)
    Mousa, Safa Abdallah Hasan Abu
    This study undertakes a comprehensive analysis of ideological traces in George Sale’s English translation of selected Qur’anic verses, drawn from Chapters Al-Baqarah, An-Nisa’, An-Nahl, Al-Anbiya’, and Al-Ahzab. Anchored in House’s Translation Quality Assessment model (2014) and Van Dijk’s Theory of Ideology (2006), the research is driven by four principal questions focused on how linguistic choices reveal and reinforce ideology. By integrating analysis across textual, lexical, syntactic, and contextual dimensions including communicative purpose, participant roles, and discourse mode the study illuminates how Sale’s translation consistently employs lexical substitutions, interpretive paraphrasing, and structural shifts. These strategies significantly reshape the semantic and pragmatic nuance of the source text.

    The Effect Of Using Improv Cards And Feedback In Role-Playing On Spoken Production, Motivation, And Attitudes Among Efl Libyan Undergraduates
    (2025-08)
    Aljngawi, Rabaa Said Mohamed
    In the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education, particularly in regions such as Libya where English is not the native language, engaging students and improving their speaking skills remains a significant challenge. Traditional methods often fail to motivate students effectively or develop their communicative abilities in real-world contexts. This mixed-method study addresses these challenges by exploring the effects of integrating Improv Cards and personalized feedback within role-playing techniques on the speaking skills, motivation, and attitudes of Libyan undergraduate students enrolled in EFL courses. Employing a quasi-experimental design, the research combines quantitative and qualitative methods to provide a comprehensive analysis of the impact of these pedagogical strategies.
