Abstract

Language performs important social functions. Language serves as a means of passing along a people’s culture from one generation to the next. The Yoruba people are well renowned for having a strong oral tradition and cultural inheritance, particularly with regard to the use of proverbs. Studies have also looked into how Yoruba proverbs contribute to the contradictions in gender roles in the region. Research has also examined the ways in which gender roles in the area are contradicted by Yoruba proverbs. The majority of research on Yoruba proverbs has been on their semantic structures, categories, and uses in interpersonal and conflict resolution communication. The goal of this research is to better understand the situations in which women’s gender is inaccurately portrayed by looking at the ideologies that underlie the poor representations of women in proverbs and the most prevalent illocutionary actions used to spread these unfavourable impressions. The Yorùbâ proverbs (Olawole, 1998, Olojede, 2012, Olasupo et al. 2012, Owomoyela, 2005, Ademowo and Balogun, 2015, interview) were culled down to a selection of nineteen proverbs. Because proverbs are contextualised in Yoruba culture, the study incorporates context, which is a component of Lawal’s pragmatic theory from 2012. The six philosophical background levels and the Yoruba worldview are taken into consideration when analysing the work. These include the levels of context, language, psychology, cosmology, sociology, and society. The findings demonstrated that instances of illocutionary behaviour included confirming, warning, claiming, saying, forecasting, admonishing, and judging. When males feel they have harmed their female counterparts, they use proverbs to accentuate their views. This is the overall context in which these sayings are used. These sayings are meant to dissuade women from having original thought processes. Declarative illocutionary acts are a common indicator of male dominance over female counterparts. As a result, proverbs that originate from Yoruba cultural concepts reinforce the derogatory portrayal of women.

Abstract

World economies have become more globalized and interconnected, with new advanced aspects of employment that are highly automated and technological. This leads to new work requirements that have rapidly been evolving since the beginning of the twenty-first century. Performing in such a competitive environment necessitates qualified job candidates who are not only competent in hard knowledge but also in soft skills. This forces employers to look for graduates with strong interpersonal and problem-solving skills, and a significant ability to manage various tasks and missions. In this context, this paper investigates the status of soft skills, students’ and employers’ attitudes towards them, and the possible merit and / or insignificance attributed to these skills for the student’s current educational and later professional endeavor. 120 Engineering and Science students from Hassan II and Cadi Ayyad Universities and 15 Casablanca and Rabat-based companies participated in the study. The findings reveal that both students and employers give greater importance to soft skills as essential requirements for job finding and employment success.

Abstract

This paper is part of a broader research project examining evaluative language in the high-stakes public speaking context of the Miss Universe (MU) pageant, contributing to our understanding of spontaneous speech patterns. It investigates the evaluative language patterns employed by MU candidates during the Q&A sessions, utilizing Appraisal Theory as a framework for analysis. The primary aim was to uncover the common patterns of evaluative language used by the candidates during such pivotal moments. Data were collected from MU Q&A sessions between 2000 and 2023, focusing on English-speaking candidates’ responses. Using Sketch Engine for corpus analysis, collocations and language patterns were extracted from 100 responses to analyze key linguistic elements. The results show a strong tendency toward positive evaluative language, particularly emphasizing themes of empowerment, inclusivity, and advocacy. These linguistic patterns reflect how candidates strategically employ language to project confidence, align with the ethos of the competition, and engage with global issues. Through their responses, candidates effectively use language to construct positive self-images and advocate for social change. These findings advance both theoretical and practical insights into the role of evaluative language in public speaking, offering implications for discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, and language use in media and performance contexts.

Abstract

The teaching of Amazigh has been celebrated by plenty of activists as a cornerstone toward revitalizing the Amazigh language and culture. Grand efforts have been made to ameliorate both the process and product of this policy. However, several issues persist, raising questions about officials’ political will and the full engagement of educators, learners, and their families. The present paper delves into Moroccans’ attitudes and views on the Amazigh teaching experience. It adopts a qualitative approach, as data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed through thematic analysis. Results show that Moroccans generally perceive the teaching of Amazigh as an essential step toward reconciliation with the Amazigh identity. The 21-year-long experience is, however, regarded by the majority of participants to be a fiasco for several reasons, including lack of resources and educational staff and the incessant insignificance and carelessness associated with Amazigh. Most of the respondents, nevertheless, strongly support the adoption of the Tifinagh script, suggesting that it is a requisite part of Moroccan history and culture. The future of the Amazigh language is yet held with great pessimism, especially due to the fierce competition of other languages. The study calls for working on changing Moroccans’ negative attitudes and beliefs on Amazigh, arguing that without a solid social foundation, neither activists’ militancy nor constant political changes would be of any value.

Abstract

Infinite feeds have conditioned us to think of engagement metrics — such as clicks, views, and watch time — as a shorthand for media efficacy. But participation is a behavioral proxy, not a societal endpoint. This editorial review reframes a media effects research agenda in terms more suitable for exposure–experience–effect and further proposes a pragmatic approach that incorporates equity and public value, in addition to impact. (1) situate engagement in historical and recent effects lines of thinking, (2) diagnose methodological and ethical limitations to a focus on one’s audience as a measurable object, (3) offer an alternative triad of measurement–mechanism–meaningful change and a four-family schema for outcomes including informational quality, personal well-being, civic capacity, and cultural agency; (4) provide mixed-methods designs along with subgroup approaches for causal inference and distributional harms; and (5) translate the rethinking into checklists for authors, reviewers, and designers. We contend that the role of media-effects research is to inform us about what changes, for whom, and at what cost, not just how long attention can be held. The article concludes with standards and statements that can be adopted directly into editorials.
