Abstract

The present study deals with Arabic gratitude and thanking expressions used by Iraqi people from a pragmatic perspective. It aims to investigate the expressions used by Iraqi people, in particular, and to show the gender difference in the ways men and women linguistically communicate gratitude in Iraqi culture. Accordingly, two hypotheses are proposed: first, Iraqi people use different thanking strategies; second, males and females differ in how they express gratitude to others. To verify the proposed hypotheses, a discourse completion task comprising 16 daily situations adapted from Eisenstein and Bodman (1993) is used to collect data. The designed completion task is given to 50 Iraqi participants (25 males, 25 females) aged 20 to 40 years. The responses are coded and analyzed according to the coding scheme proposed by Cheng (2005), which consists of 8 strategies for expressions of gratitude. Then Leech's politeness principle (1983) is applied to the collected responses. The results show that Iraqi people use different strategies for thanking and expressing gratitude, with thanking and prayer strategies being the most frequent. Other cultures haven’t used the prayer strategy; it has been found exclusively in Iraqi culture, and this is the gap that this study fills. Basically, prayer strategy hasn’t been stated in Cheng's (2005) model; thus, it can be added to modify the model to include 9 strategies for expressions of gratitude. Moreover, the study concludes that there are slight gender differences in expressing thanks and gratitude by Iraqi males and females, and what affects these differences are social roles, familiarity, and the degree of imposition; that is to say, the overall context can shape and determine one’s use of thanking and gratitude expressions.

Abstract

This research examines the representations and influence of Arabic literature in the poetry of Muhammad Iqbal, renowned as the poet of the East. Despite never traveling to Arab lands, Iqbal's profound mastery of the Arabic language and literature profoundly shaped his poetic style, themes, and symbolism. The study employs a literary-analytical approach to identify how Iqbal drew from classical Arabic poetry, Quranic texts, and Arab cultural history. Through close reading of poems such as "The Mosque of Córdoba" and "Khidr-e-Rah," the analysis reveals his extensive use of Arabic vocabulary, adaptation of motifs like ruins and longing (al-atlal), and symbolic references to Arab figures and history. The findings demonstrate that Iqbal creatively reshaped these elements to formulate a modern poetic discourse centered on Islamic revival and civilizational renewal. His work thus serves as a bridge between classical Arabic literary traditions and contemporary Islamic thought. This study highlights the centrality of Arabic heritage in Iqbal's vision and contributes to understanding the intertextual connections within the Islamic literary sphere.

Abstract

Inclusive education in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) has become increasingly critical in online higher education, particularly for Arabic-speaking learners who face unique linguistic challenges in developing oracy skills. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Multimodal Cognitive Oracy Model (MCOM) in enhancing listening and speaking competencies among Arabic learners at B.S. Abdur Rahman Crescent Institute of Science and Technology, School of Arabic and Islamic Studies. A mixed-methods quasi-experimental design was employed with Arabic-speaking EFL learners enrolled in online degree programs. Participants were divided into experimental and control groups, with the experimental group receiving instruction through the MCOM framework incorporating computer-assisted language learning (CALL) tools, multimodal inputs (audio, visual, textual, kinesthetic), and cognitive scaffolding strategies. The eight-week intervention integrated authentic English materials, synchronous and asynchronous interactive activities, and formative feedback mechanisms. Data collection included pre- and post-intervention assessments of listening comprehension and speaking proficiency, supplemented by qualitative feedback through questionnaires and reflective journals. Results demonstrated statistically significant improvements in both listening comprehension and speaking fluency for the experimental group. Participants exhibited enhanced phonological awareness, improved pronunciation accuracy, increased oral communication confidence, and better comprehension of varied English accents. Qualitative analysis revealed high learner engagement and satisfaction with multimodal activities. Visual and auditory scaffolding effectively addressed L1 interference and facilitated cognitive processing of English phonemes. The study confirms that the Multimodal Cognitive Oracy Model provides an effective, inclusive pedagogical framework for Arabic-speaking EFL learners in online contexts. Practical implications emphasise curriculum integration of technology-enhanced oracy activities, educator training in CALL methodologies, and institutional digital infrastructure investment. Future research should explore longitudinal impacts and cross-cultural applications of the MCOM framework.
Grammatical Prohibitions In The Transitivity Of Verbs According To Al-Rummani: A Study Of What Is Not Permissible In His Commentary On Sibawayh’s Book/ المحظورات النَّحويَّة في تعدِّي الأفعال عند الرُّمَّانيّ: دراسة في ما لا يجوز في شرحه لكتاب سيبويه Jumaa, Halima Talib; Abdullah, Wissam Najm

Abstract

This study seeks to examine and analyze Al-Rummani’s grammatical positions in "What is Impermissible", with a particular focus on issues related to the transitions that arise from them. The aim of the research is to identify the nature of the prohibitions established by Al-Rummani, clarify their grammatical rationales, and compare them with the views of Sibawayh and other grammarians. The study concludes that al-Rummani expanded substantially in presenting and analyzing the various forms of prohibitions related to verbal transitivity, grounding them in logical and semantic arguments. Meaning, for Al-Rummani, was a fundamental pillar that led him to judge certain grammatical constructions as impermissible due to semantic corruption. Al-Rummani was not merely a commentator on Sibawayh’s Kitab; rather, he exercised analytical judgment in his grammatical prohibitions in Ma La Yajuz provides evidence of the development of grammatical thought and the multiplicity of its justificatory and analytical pathways. Notably, this study highlights the grammatical prohibitions identified by Al-Rummani in Ma La Yajuz, affirming the possibility of employing these prohibitions to enhance the teaching of the boundaries of Arabic grammar to non-native speakers and to develop their awareness of the Arabic grammatical system.

Abstract

Writing in Arabic remains a persistent challenge for non-native university learners, primarily due to the interplay between structural limitations and affective barriers—an intersection that has received limited integrative investigation. This study aims to identify and analyze the main obstacles faced by students in Arabic academic writing using the CAF (Complexity, Accuracy, Fluency) framework, as conceptualized by Barrot and Agdeppa (2021), which serves as the primary analytical lens. A descriptive-qualitative approach was employed, involving textual analysis of student writing samples and thematic analysis of responses collected through a Google Form questionnaire. The findings reveal that students struggle to construct complex syntactic structures, maintain grammatical accuracy, and sustain coherent idea development. These three dimensions are interdependent and further exacerbated by psychological factors such as fear of making mistakes and low self-confidence. The study concludes that writing difficulties are not purely linguistic but are also shaped by affective and cognitive dimensions. Theoretically, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the interrelationship between linguistic competence and psychological readiness in academic writing. Practically, the findings offer pedagogical implications for designing more integrative writing instruction that emphasizes syntactic exploration, functional grammar internalization, and the development of metacognitive strategies.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges and implications of linguistic inequalities in e-learning environments, focusing on the interplay between English and Arabic in the Saudi Arabian context. While English is frequently employed as the medium of instruction in higher education, Arabic remains the dominant language of cultural and social interaction. This linguistic imbalance creates barriers that affect students’ access to, and engagement with, digital learning platforms. To explore this issue, the research adopts a quantitative case study design involving 150 Saudi university students enrolled in various online learning programs. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire designed to measure students’ perceptions of language barriers, their learning experiences, and academic performance outcomes related to English- and Arabic-mediated e-learning platforms. The responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, frequency distributions) and inferential statistical methods, including independent sample t-tests and one-way ANOVA, to examine significant differences across variables such as proficiency level, academic discipline, and frequency of platform usage. Findings reveal that linguistic inequalities significantly shape students’ ability to comprehend course materials, participate in discussions, and achieve desired learning outcomes. English-dominant platforms were perceived as advantageous for students with higher proficiency but exclusionary for those with limited English competence, while Arabic-supported platforms facilitated inclusivity but were often limited in scope and resources.

Abstract

Arabic linguistics is a core course in Arabic Language and Arabic Language Education programs at higher education institutions, and despite its crucial role as a theoretical foundation for linguistic studies, it is often perceived by students as abstract, complex, and highly demanding in terms of analytical skills. This study aims to identify and analyze the academic challenges faced by undergraduate and postgraduate students in learning Arabic linguistics at Islamic higher education institutions. Employing a mixed-methods approach with an explanatory sequential design, the study involved the distribution of Likert-scale questionnaires to 120 students and semi-structured interviews with selected informants at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya. The findings indicate that students’ academic challenges encompass cognitive, linguistic, and pedagogical aspects, with cognitive challenges emerging as the dominant factor, particularly in relation to difficulties in understanding abstract linguistic concepts and the high cognitive load involved. Linguistic challenges are associated with the complexity of terminology and the morphosyntactic structure of the Arabic language, while pedagogical challenges relate to instructional approaches that remain predominantly theoretical and lecturer-centered. The study also reveals differences in the characteristics of challenges between undergraduate and postgraduate students in terms of both difficulty levels and the linguistic areas perceived as most challenging, leading to the recommendation that Arabic linguistics instruction in higher education be developed in a more contextualized, analytical, and tiered manner.

Abstract

Context, as the environment in which language is used, has a relatively wide scope. It includes not only the narrow context constructed by language units such as words, sentences and texts, but also the broad context composed of non-linguistic factors such as social background, cultural traditions and stylistic environment. Contextual culture refers to all the cultural elements involved in both the narrow and broad contexts, which play an important role in semantic expression and effect presentation. All Arabic and Chinese examples cited in this paper are sourced from the Library of Chinese Classics: Chin P'ing Mei bilingual edition, translated by Arabic literature expert Zhang Hongyi and published by China Translation & Publishing House in October 2017. Abridgments in the text have been duly noted. Based on Hall's theory of contextual culture, this paper divides the contextual culture in the novel Jin Ping Mei into three dimensions: material contextual culture, poetic contextual culture and dialectal contextual culture, and explores the translation methods and the resulting expressive effects in different contextual cultural situations, aiming to further promote the understanding and resonance between Chinese and Arabic languages and cultures.

Abstract

This research addressing a central problematic in exegetical studies and philology: How did the literary heritage of a polytheistic milieu evolve into an indispensable hermeneutical tool for decoding the sacred monotheistic text? The study engages with this dialectical relationship, grounding its argument in the hypothesis that while Islam enacted a decisive doctrinal rupture with the Jahiliyyah, it did not institute a linguistic one; rather, it assimilated the prevailing linguistic system and semantically re-engineered it to serve the imperatives of Tawhid (monotheism). Employing a descriptive-analytical methodology, the paper examines applied models from Gharib al-Qur'an (obscure Quranic vocabulary), with a specific focus on the "Questions of Nafi' ibn al-Azraq" as a foundational historical document that legitimized the citation of poetic evidence (Istishhad) in exegesis. The study argues that the reliance of Abdullah ibn Abbas—the preeminent exegete—on poetry authored by polytheists or People of the Book (such as Umayya ibn Abi al-Salt) to elucidate Quranic lexicon constitutes an implicit acknowledgment that Arabic is a cumulative civilizational vessel. It posits that Quranic terminology did not emerge ex nihilo, but represents an extension of Semitic roots deeply embedded in the history of religions within the Arabian Peninsula. Furthermore, the research analyzes the phenomenon of "semantic shift" (resemantization), demonstrating how the Quran utilized identical pre-Islamic terms—such as Salah, Zakah, and Taqwa—yet divested them of their archaic content to recharge them with novel doctrinal payloads. This process renders the recourse to pre-Islamic poetry a hermeneutic necessity, not merely to ascertain legal definitions, but to trace the historical evolution of terminology and to appreciate the Quranic genius in transposing language from the sensory, material connotations prevalent in poetry to abstract, spiritual significations. The study concludes that pre-Islamic poetry functions not merely as the "Diwan of the Arabs" preserving tribal glories, but as the essential "Lexical Archive" of the Revelation. Consequently, the contemporary exegete requires the integrative tools of comparative philology and literary criticism, alongside traditional narration, to fully grasp the multi-dimensional nature of Quranic eloquence.
