The Mosuli dialect is the dialect of the people of the city of Mosul in northern Iraq. It is one of the dialects of northern Mesopotamia, which is an extension of the Arabic dialects that prevailed in Iraq and the Euphrates Island in the Abbasid era. The Mosuli dialect, like other dialects of northern Mesopotamia, contains some of the ancient characteristics that are found in Standard Arabic, but it also has some unique features which distinguish it from the others. In comparison with the dialects of southern Mesopotamia, this dialect retains the features of urban dialects such as the letter qaaf. This study explores the most common uses, and the different types of expressions of mitigation used by people who speak the Mosuli Iraqi Arabic dialect in their everyday life in different situations. Mitigating devices are speech utterances used to lesson the force of the speech on the listener to avoid face-threatening situations. Although mitigating devices are widely used in writing and speaking, they have not been adequately investigated in previous studies. It is assumed that people use mitigation to lesson the force of direct speech. In order to prove this surmise, the data are collected from the native speakers of Mosuli Arabic dialect and analyzed according to Fraserâ€™s 1981 model. The findings reveal that many participants use several expressions with the appropriate mitigating devices suited to different situations. More importantly, the findings show new ways of communication for those interested in the study of pragmatics in the Arabic language as well as English and in the language of other non-native speakers of Arabic.

This study investigates evidence for the existence of iconicity as a processing strategy in Quranic discourse. It is argued here that the Muslim’s most glorious book, the Quran, is an excellent source of morphosyntactic iconicity in the Arabic language. The hypothesis was tested by analysing sixty-six binomials from Al-Baqarah Sura within a synthetic model based on an extension of Givón’s 1984 model of iconicity. The findings show that some of the sampled iconic binomials accord with these principles, while others are iconic with regard to the human perceptual system. This result challenges Saussurian arbitrariness and lends support for the view that some aspects of language are iconic. Furthermore, iconic binomials are richly manifested in Quranic lexicon and discourse. This is because they are part of the rhetoric of Quran. Allah has created everything in pairs: night and day, death and life, sun and moon, paradise and hell, etc. These pairs express such rhetorical functions as revealing situation, warning, promising, inhibition, specification, etc. They also express Allah’s intention in motivating people to make a balance between benefits and problems of each pair. The role played by iconic binomials can be easily tested by removing some of them from the suras of Quran and asking what happens then. On such cases, the Quranic rhetoric is distorted rather than unites. Above all, such binomials are cross linguistics, they are universal since they are found in all languages. This conclusions challenges Sapir-Worf hypothesis and lends support to an assumption of a minimal universality of linguistic interactions.

In this study, a morpho-pragmatic analysis of broken plural in the Glorious Quran is tackled to answer the question whether the types of broken plural can be replaced without affecting the meaning, and to achieve the aim that these various forms are utilized thoughtfully and creatively and are never used randomly. Accordingly, it is hypothesized in the present study that the broken plural multi forms in the Glorious Quran are selected sensibly and they function in a way that leads the reader to a scene of wider conceptual view and consideration. The value of this study lies in the endeavor to widen the horizon of the reader that the variety of broken plural forms in the Glorious Quran are much more meaningful than they look. This paves the way to consider many items in the Holly Quran as significant, worthwhile, and telling. To prove the hypothesis and achieve the aim, this paper adopts Dressler and Merlini-Barbaresi’s (1994) model in analyzing the chosen excerpts where language choices can be conceived at the level of pragmatics in relation to morphology. Eight Quranic texts are selected, analyzed, discussed, and conclusions are finally derived to assert that the various forms of broken plural in the Glorious Quran are manipulated exquisitely in an effective way.

Ellipsis in language is not just the dropping of words or phrases but rather a means of condensation and suggestion, as it allows the reader to reconstruct the meaning and explore what lies behind the words. Ghassan Kanafani invested this method in his novel to express the loss and disorientation experienced by his characters and to create an open space for contemplation of the suffering and pain of the Palestinian people. The novel Men in the Sun by the Palestinian writer Ghassan Kanafani is one of the most prominent literary works that deals with the issue of displacement and the Palestinian struggle in a unique artistic style. In exploring this distinctive text's creative and semantic aspects, ellipsis emerged as one of the linguistic methods the writer relied on to express meanings indirectly, adding deep aesthetic and suggestive dimensions to the text. The current study aims to shed light on the manifestations of and analyze its linguistic and semantic functions in the text and how it enhanced the humanitarian and political messages the writer wanted to convey. Moreover, the impact of ellipsis on the reader's experience and the extent of its success as an artistic tool in enriching the novel's narrative structure is reviewed.

Children’s literature plays a crucial role in shaping young minds by constructing and representing gender roles and expectations. In classic stories, the male protagonists are usually active, adventurous, and solvers of problems, whereas the female roles are supporting, nurturing, and waiting to be rescued. This study seeks to examine images of femininity and power relations in society dealt with in children’s literature through its female characters’ levels of agency, power, and children-related roles. The data of the study involves selected excerpts from the classic children’s literature “Sindbad, the Sailor’s Seven Voyages” written anonymously in (1835) in “The Arabian Nights’ Entertainments” by Philadelphia/Thomas Wardle. Connell’s (1987) model of power and gender is adopted for the analysis where nine excerpts are randomly selected from the seven voyages stories of Sindbad. Each excerpt is given, then the effects of themes like authority, financial inequality, and social norms on both family and society are reflected along with discussion for each analysis. It is concluded that the traditional children’s literature often reinforces patriarchal norms, particularly in the portrayal of femininity and power dynamics. Female characters are often marginalised and used as tools to maintain male authority, reinforcing traditional gender roles and limiting female agency. Hence, the findings imply that Sindbad the Sailor’s story reflects a world shaped by patriarchal power, with women showing little economic power, not much authority, and being stuck in roles based on traditional gender norms. The conclusion proves the given hypothesis.

The ongoing state of religious diversity leads to the need of adhering interfaith dialogue as a means for achieving religious pluralism that encourages and promotes respect and acceptance of freedom of religion. Pope Francis’s (2021) speech delivered in the historical City of Ur, Iraq is a call for such pluralism. In this study, it is hypothesised that Pope has focused on the communicative functions that enhance religious diversity acceptance. The study aims at finding out the communicative functions employed in Pope’s speech. In order to achieve this aim, Gerard Genette’s theory of narratology (1980) is adopted. Based on the findings of the analysis, it is concluded that various communicative functions are utilized: narrative, directing, communication, and ideological. Mostly used one is the communication function which is critical in transmitting the fundamental message of unity, peace, and brotherhood. This function is critical for engaging the audience and instilling a sense of shared responsibility for promoting tolerance and peace among religious communities. Consequently, the conclusions arrived at affirm the put hypotheses.
