Focus and Scope
An-Nahdah Al-'Arabiyah: Jurnal Bahasa dan Sastra Arab is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by the Faculty of Adab and Humanities, Universitas Islam Negeri Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh, Indonesia, under the academic management of the Department of Arabic Language and Literature. The journal provides an academic forum for original research on Arabic language, literature, textual traditions, and their intellectual and cultural contexts. We welcome rigorous scholarship that connects the study of Arabic across periods, regions, methods, and research communities.
Aims
The journal aims to publish methodologically sound, original, and ethically conducted research that develops knowledge in Arabic linguistics and literary studies; encourages critical engagement with Arabic texts, discourses, and linguistic practices; and makes relevant findings accessible to an international scholarly audience. Contributions should articulate their research questions, place their argument in appropriate scholarship, and explain their specific scholarly contribution.
Scope
- Arabic linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, historical and comparative linguistics, and corpus-based or computational approaches to Arabic.
- Classical, medieval, modern, and contemporary Arabic literature, including poetry, prose, narrative, drama, literary history, comparative literature, literary theory, stylistics, rhetoric, and balaghah.
- Arabic philology, manuscript studies, textual criticism, critical editing, codicology, and the transmission and interpretation of Arabic textual heritage.
- Translation and interpreting studies involving Arabic, including Arabic-Indonesian and Arabic-Acehnese contact, cross-cultural meaning, and the circulation of Arabic literary and intellectual works.
- Arabic language learning and teaching when the study makes an identifiable contribution to Arabic linguistics, language acquisition, textual practices, or another stated area of the journal's scope.
Editorial Boundaries
We consider empirical, textual, historical, theoretical, and interdisciplinary submissions when the research question is clearly relevant to Arabic language or literature. General religious, political, or educational essays without a demonstrable Arabic linguistic, literary, philological, or textual focus are outside the scope. Submission does not guarantee review or publication. Every manuscript is assessed for fit, scholarly integrity, argument, evidence, methodology, and relevance to readers beyond its immediate local setting.
Languages and Discoverability
The full text may be written in Arabic or English. Every published item must have accurate English title and abstract metadata where an abstract is appropriate; all author names, institutional affiliations, and cited bibliographic references must be presented in Roman script. An Arabic title or abstract may also be supplied. The journal supports the visibility of Arabic scholarship while meeting the bibliographic standards expected by international indexing services.
