Abstract

This paper analyzes the freedom of expression challenge (ta’bīr al-hurriyyah) through Arab intellectual experiences. Although freedom of expression has doctrinal support and historical factual expertise in Islam, it is still challenging to find its actual implementation within the Arab world, especially in Arab countries with authoritarian systems. Therefore, the paper begins by exploring several examples of intimidation experienced by Arab intellectuals as the consequences of their critical ideas and voices. Specifically, the paper examines freedom of expression among Arab scholars in Syrian as an authoritarian state. The failure of the Arab Spring made it more difficult for freedom of expression to find its free space. As a qualitative study, data was collected by gathering essential information from journals, books, and online websites. The data were then analyzed through critical reading based on formulated research questions. The paper concluded that freedom of expression has its historical doctrine in Arab-Islam. However, this moral doctrine did not lead to absolute freedom of expression. It is proved that most Arab intellectuals experienced bitter life due to their critical voices. In the Syrian context, Arab intellectuals are divided between those who support the regime and maintain opposition to the ruling government. However, the opposition keeps conducting the reform in silence since the voices and protests will lead them to exile or death. Due to this polarization, critical voices in Syria have not successfully become a powerful movement.

Abstract

The study delves into the perceptions of santri concerning Arabic cultural elements in the teaching of the Arabic language within Salafi Pesantren. Employing a qualitative approach, the research investigates how santri perceive the significance of Arabic cultural values in the learning process and the broader implications for multicultural understanding. Data were gathered through interviews and questionnaires distributed to 42 respondents across 16 Salafi pesantren institutions in various regions of Indonesia, including Java, Sumatra, and Sulawesi. The findings reveal that santri generally recognize the importance of incorporating Arabic cultural elements into the language-learning process, as it aids in comprehending both the Arabic language and its cultural nuances. Some aspects of Arabic culture are perceived by santri as integral to Islamic teachings, influencing distinctive practices in their clothing and physical appearance. Despite these unique practices, the santri, living in a multicultural society, choose to integrate their daily lives with other communities, fostering harmony and embracing the multicultural diversity present in Indonesia. This study contributes valuable insights into the intersection of language learning, cultural values, and multicultural coexistence in the context of Salafi Pesantren education.

Abstract

This research paper explores the phenomenon of French code mixing in Arabizi within the Facebook group 'OFPPT: BTP & GÉNIE CIVIL.' The group comprises Arabic-speaking technicians and engineers from Morocco. The study aims to provide a comprehensive description of the French code mixing observed in this specific online community and investigates the factors influencing its occurrence. The sociolinguistic approach employed in this research incorporates the study of code mixing and its underlying causes. The primary data for analysis consisted of Arabic words, phrases, and technician-specific terminology found in uploads from January 2020 to December 2021 within the Facebook group 'OFPPT: BTP & GÉNIE CIVIL.' The data collection process involved note-taking techniques as well as screen captures and data tables for further analysis. The analysis of the collected data was conducted using referential and translational equivalent methods. The findings of this study reveal the presence of significant code mixing in Arabizi, combining elements of French and Arabic within the 'OFPPT: BTP & GÉNIE CIVIL' Facebook group. In its sociolinguistic context, French code mixing serves as an outer code mixing, while Arabic code-mixing functions as an inner code mixing. The Arab youth utilize this Arabizi code mixing to enhance their social standing, as French is perceived as a prestigious and modern language by them.
