Abstract

Manshūrāt Fidā'iyyah 'alā Judrān Isrāīl is one of the iconic Palestinian resistance literature pieces composed by Nizar Qabbani. Although several scholars have analysed the poem, none have focused on the meaning and value of resistance. For this reason, this study aims to identify metaphors to emphasise the spirit of resistance in the poem. The descriptive qualitative method is used to achieve this goal. Data collected through documentation, reading, and note-taking techniques were then analysed through the stages of reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research findings show the types of metaphors consisting of objective (36.5%), human (22.2%), metaphysical (17.4%), actual (8.7%), living (6.3%), animate (4.7%), and inertia (3.9%). The metaphorical expression employed in the poetry carries profound and impactful meanings, serving as a powerful call for resistance against the occupiers. Through his verses, Qabbani underscores the enduring presence of Palestine and its people, asserting that no matter the efforts of Israel and its allies to obliterate them, Palestine will persevere and remain steadfast. Therefore, the metaphors in this poem are not just symbols, but are expected to form a cognitive awareness. On the other hand, Qabbani uses metaphors that are close to the perception of the Palestinian people to encourage resistance. Theoretically, this research has implications for strengthening semantic theory, especially human perception space, which has proven effective in revealing poetry's more profound and comprehensive meanings. While practically, this research has implications for amplifying the voicing of resistance through poetry and literary studies to defend humanity in Palestine.

Abstract

Although the rapid proliferation of Arabic-language digital media platforms has significantly accelerated the process of arabization of English culinary vocabulary, the underlying phonological mechanisms have not been systematically studied in a digital domain-specific context. Addressing this gap, this study identifies and analyzes patterns of vowel change from English to Arabic in the maṭbakh section of the sayidaty.net website, using al-Jawaliqi's arabization theory as the primary analytical framework. A qualitative descriptive design was adopted, with data comprising English culinary loanwords sourced from the maṭbakh rubric of sayidaty.net. Data were collected through systematic non-participant observation and documented using structured note-taking techniques, then analyzed using distributional methods and translational equivalent methods with the International Phonetic Alphabet transcription system. The results show that the nine English vowel phonemes [i], [ɪ], [e], [ɛ], [æ], [a], [ə], [ʊ], and [ʌ] produce 21 distinct phonological adaptation patterns out of 112 instances found. Three cross-phonemic rules emerged as dominant: systematic vowel lengthening as the default strategy of arabization; lexical stress sensitivity; and segmental conditionality. This research contributes to the development of a domain-specific phonological model of arabization that extends al-Jawaliqi's classical framework with the dimension of contextual conditionality, while establishing a replicable methodology for the study of vowel adaptation on Arabic digital media platforms.
