Abstract

This research tries to examine the semantic discrepancies of religious terms in both English and Arabic, concentrating on the implications of such differences for translation, intercultural communication, and understanding of such terms. Religious terminology often symbolizes deep cultural, historical, and theological nuances, which can lead to divergent interpretations when translated between these two languages. The study adopts a contrastive semantic analysis approach, identifying key terms within Islamic and Christian traditions, and analyzing their linguistic, contextual, and cultural dimensions. It highlights how religious terms in Arabic could carry layered meanings that are not fully captured by their English counterparts. Conversely, English religious terms might encompass theological connotations that may lack equivalent expressions in Arabic. This paper aims to provide insights into the difficulties of religious translation to shed light and address these semantic gaps, fostering better intercultural understanding and preserving the integrity of the original terms.

Abstract

This study conducts a contrastive analysis of the news surrounding the martyrdom of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, as reported in Arabic and English media. By examining selected headlines, the research highlights the differing thematic emphases and linguistic choices that shape public perception in each context. Utilizing a contrastive analysis model based on Gee (2014), the study identifies themes such as martyrdom, sacrifice, resistance, and vengeance. Thematic analysis, as outlined by Braun and Clarke (2006), reveals how these themes resonate differently with audiences, while linguistic analysis informed by Fairclough (1995) underscores the cultural significance of specific word choices. Furthermore, cultural contextualization is explored through Said's (1978) framework, emphasizing the role of cultural identity in shaping narratives. Qualitative interpretation, guided by Charmaz (2006), provides insights into how these contrasting portrayals reflect broader ideological divides and influence regional dynamics. The findings suggest that while Arabic narratives evoke deep emotional responses tied to loss and martyrdom, English narratives prioritize strategic implications and calls for retaliation. This study contributes to a nuanced understanding of how media representations of Nasrallah's death reflect divergent cultural values and political contexts, ultimately shaping public sentiment across different regions.

Abstract

The paper addresses the concept of human trafficking as a socially constructed problem, influenced by how news reports define exploitation, represent social actors, and convey patterns of control, responsibility, and power. Based on news coverage of the Jeffrey Epstein case, the study explores how human trafficking is linguistically constructed through lexical choices and discursive strategies, and how ideological meanings are framed in the selected data. The dataset consists of three news reports, with three extracts from each, selected for their relevance to human trafficking and their publication within the 2026 timeframe. The study employs a critical discourse analysis approach at two levels. At the micro level, it examines linguistic choices and discursive strategies, while at the macro level it analyzes ideological meanings, power relations, and framing practices in the reports. The findings at the micro level show that lexical choices and discursive strategies tend to represent victims as emotionally, legally, and coercively vulnerable, while institutions and elites are depicted through language emphasizing negligence, authority, or overwhelming power. At the macro level, the reports frame human trafficking as a structural problem sustained by institutional failure, bureaucratic shortcomings, and the influence of powerful actors, while also assigning responsibility and moral judgment. The study concludes that linguistic and ideological patterns are closely interconnected in constructing human trafficking in news discourse. Overall, the analysis demonstrates that trafficking is not portrayed as an isolated crime but as a phenomenon embedded in broader social and institutional structures, highlighting the role of media language in shaping public understanding of exploitation and its underlying conditions.
