Wasaya Nafiʿah li-Ightinami Shahri al-Khayrat Sermon by Sheikh Faysal al-Ghazzawi: Shift in Meaning in the Indonesian Translation
type: item
description: The translation of Arabic religious sermons into Indonesian often involves shifts in meaning and structure due to differences in linguistic, grammatical, and cultural systems between the two languages. This study examines meaning shifts in the Indonesian translation of the sermon Waṣāyā Nāfiʿah li-Ightinām Shahri al-Khayrāt by Sheikh Fayṣal Al-Ghazzāwī, translated by Iqbal Kadir. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research compares the Arabic source text and its Indonesian target text to identify types of translation shifts and to evaluate their communicative effect. Data are collected through close reading and note-taking of parallel sermon texts from online sources, then analyzed contrastively. The findings reveal the occurrence of structure shifts, class shifts, unit shifts, and intra-system shifts that arise from differences in grammatical systems, lexical choices, and idiomatic tendencies between Arabic and Indonesian. These shifts are closely related to meaning-based translation strategies that balance form-focused rendering in doctrinal formulas with more flexible rendering in persuasive and rhetorical passages. The study concludes that such shifts are not translation errors but deliberate linguistic and communicative strategies to preserve the clarity, spiritual impact, and cultural relevance of religious messages for Indonesian readers. يُعَدُّ نقلُ الخطب الدينية من اللغة العربية إلى اللغة الإندونيسية عمليةً كثيرًا ما تنطوي على تحوّلات في المعنى والبنية، نتيجةً لاختلاف الأنظمة اللغوية والنحوية والثقافية بين اللغتين. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى بحث التحوّلات الدلالية في الترجمة الإندونيسية لخطبة «وصايا نافعة لاغتنام شهر الخيرات» للشيخ فيصل الغزاوي، التي ترجمها إقبال قادر. واعتمدت الدراسة منهجًا وصفيًّا نوعيًّا من خلال مقارنة النص العربي المصدر بالنص الإندونيسي الهدف؛ بهدف تحديد أنواع التحوّلات الترجمية وتقويم أثرها التواصلي. جُمعت البيانات عن طريق القراءة المتأنية وتدوين الملاحظات على النصوص المتوازية للخطبة المتاحة عبر المصادر الإلكترونية، ثم حُلِّلت تح…

Implicit Meanings of Social Issues in The Animated Series Freej: An Umberto Eco Semiotic Analysis
type: item
description: This study investigates the implicit meanings of social issues in the animated series Freej through the semiotic framework of Umberto Eco. Previous studies on Freej have primarily focused on cultural representation, identity construction, and the preservation of Emirati traditions, while limited attention has been given to the processes through which social meanings are implicitly produced and interpreted. Addressing this gap, the present study examines how social criticism is constructed through Eco’s typology of sign production. Employing a qualitative semiotic approach, the study analyzes five purposively selected episodes from Season 1 of Freej, chosen for their representation of tensions between tradition and modernity in contemporary Emirati society. The findings reveal that issues of modernization, cultural marginalization, and identity negotiation are communicated through visual composition, spatial organization, performative contrast, and linguistic interaction. These meanings emerge through the semiotic processes of recognition, ostension, replica, and invention, which enable viewers to actively interpret the social messages embedded in the narrative. The study demonstrates that Freej functions as an open text that conveys social criticism implicitly rather than through direct verbal expression. Theoretically, this research extends the application of Eco’s typology of sign production to animated media and contributes to the understanding of how implicit social meanings are generated through audience-text cooperation. Practically, the findings highlight the potential of animation as a medium for social reflection, cultural awareness, and social critique in contemporary society. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى الكشف عن المعاني الضمنية للقضايا الاجتماعية في المسلسل الكرتوني فريج (Freej) من خلال الإطار السيميائي لأومبرتو إيكو. وقد ركزت الدراسات السابقة حول فريج بصورة أساسية على التمثيلات الثقافية، وبناء الهوية، والمحافظة على التراث الإماراتي، في حين لم تحظَ عمليات إنتاج …

Linguistic Impoliteness and Power Relations In AlRawabi School For Girls: An Analysis Based On Culpeper’s Theory
type: item
description: This study examines linguistic impoliteness strategies in the Netflix series AlRawabi School for Girls based on Jonathan Culpeper's impoliteness theory using a descriptive qualitative approach within a pragmatic framework. Data were collected from verbal utterances across all six episodes using official Netflix subtitles and resulted in 27 impolite utterances identified for analysis. Among the identified strategies, positive impoliteness was the most dominant strategy with 12 utterances (44%), followed by bald on record impoliteness with 10 utterances (37%), negative impoliteness with 3 utterances (11%), sarcasm or mock politeness and withhold politeness with 1 utterance each (4%). These findings demonstrate that linguistic impoliteness functions not only as an emotional expression but also as a social practice in which characters establish dominance, negotiate power relations, and reinforce social hierarchies. By extending beyond the identification of impoliteness strategies, this study contributes to pragmatic studies of impoliteness by providing a contextual understanding of how linguistic impoliteness operates within an Arab adolescent school setting. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى استراتيجيات الوقاحة اللغوية في مسلسل "مدرسة الروابي للبنات" على منصة Netflix ، بناءً على نظرية جوناثان كولبيبر حول الوقاحة اللغوية، باستخدام نهج وصفي نوعي في إطار براغماتي. تم جمع البيانات من الحوارات الشفهية في جميع حلقات المسلسل الست باستخدام الترجمة الرسمية لنتفليكس، وأسفر عن تحديد 27 عبارة الوقاحة اللغوية للتحليل. من بين جميع الاستراتيجيات التي تم تحديدها، كانت الوقاحة الإيجابية هي الاستراتيجية الأكثر شيوعًا بواقع 12 عبارة (44%)، تليها الوقاحة المباشرة بواقع 10 عبارات (37%)، ثم الوقاحة السلبية بواقع 3 عبارات (11%)، وأخيرًا السخرية أو الأدب الزائف، و حجب الأدب بواقع عبارة واحدة لكل منهما (4%). تُظهر هذه النتائج أن الوقاحة اللغوية لا تقتصر على كونها تعبيرًا عاطفيًا فحسب، بل هي أيضًا ممارسة اجتماعية تُرسّخ من خلالها الشخصيات هيمنتها، وتُدير علاقات القوة، وتُعزز التسلسل الهرمي الاجتماعي. من خلا…

Al-Hanin fi Muwashshahat “Jadaka al-Ghaythu” li-Lisan al-Din ibn al-Khatib: Dirasah Dalaliyyah
type: item
description: Although the muwashshaḥ Jādaka al-Ghayth by Lisān al-Dīn Ibn al-Khaṭīb has been extensively studied from literary, historical, and phonological perspectives, its semantic construction of ḥanīn (longing) through Ahmad Mukhtar 'Umar's semantic theory remains largely unexamined. This study analyzes how the meaning of ḥanīn is constructed in the muwashshaḥ using Ahmad Mukhtar 'Umar's semantic framework. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the study examines eight selected verses containing explicit or implicit lexical markers of ḥanīn, classified according to five semantic categories: basic, additional, Affective, suggestive, and stylistic meaning. The findings show that ḥanīn is not merely an emotional expression but a composite semantic structure built through the interrelation of four functional dimensions: historical-spatial reference, natural symbolism, psychological affect, and rhetorical strategy. This relational structure reconstructs the Andalusian past as an idealized space set against the poem's experience of loss. The study demonstrates the applicability of Ahmad Mukhtar 'Umar's semantic theory to classical Arabic poetry and offers a systematic semantic model for interpreting ḥanīn, with implications for both semantic scholarship and the teaching of critical literary reading. على الرغم من أن موشحة "جادك الغيث" للسان الدين بن الخطيب قد حظيت بدراسات عديدة من الجوانب الأدبية والتاريخية والصوتية، فإن بنيتها الدلالية للحنين في ضوء نظرية أحمد مختار عمر لم تحظَ بدراسة متخصصة. تحلل هذه الدراسة كيفية تشكل دلالة الحنين في هذه الموشحة اعتمادًا على نظرية أحمد مختار عمر في علم الدلالة. واعتمدت الدراسة المنهج الوصفي النوعي، وتناولت ثمانية أبيات مختارة تتضمن مؤشرات لفظية صريحة أو ضمنية على الحنين، صُنِّفت وفق أنواع المعنى الخمسة: الأساسي، والإضافي، والنفسي، والإيحائي، والأسلوبي. وأظهرت النتائج أن الحنين لا يتجلى بوصفه تعبيرًا عاطفيًا مجردًا، بل يتشكل بوصفه بنية دلالية مركبة تنشأ من تفاعل أربعة أبعاد وظيفية: المرجعية التاريخية-المكانية، والرمزية الطبيعية، والانفعال …

Ilm al Aswat Asasan li Tanmiyat al Maharat al Lughawiyyah al Arabiyyah al Arba li al Tullab Ghayr al Natiqin biha Dirasah Wasfiyyah Tahliliyyah
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the role of phonology in developing Arabic language skills and to examine its relationship with the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The need to re-examine the role of phonology in developing Arabic language skills arises from the limited attention given to this field by Arabic language teachers and learners. Moreover, most previous studies have focused on the concepts, characteristics, and teaching methods of phonology without highlighting its integrative relationship with the four language skills. This research employed a descriptive-analytical approach through library research by reviewing books, scientific articles, and previous studies related to phonology and Arabic language teaching. The findings indicate that phonology is not merely a theoretical branch of linguistics but also serves as an essential foundation for Arabic language acquisition and the development of various language skills. The analysis further reveals that listening and speaking are the language skills most closely associated with phonology, while mastery of the phonological system supports reading and writing through strengthening the relationship between spoken and written language. The contribution of this study lies in providing an integrative perspective that positions phonology as a central component in building the linguistic competence of Arabic language learners. These findings also emphasize that restoring greater attention to phonology in Arabic language education, particularly in Indonesian educational institutions, is both an educational and linguistic necessity due to its fundamental role in developing language skills and enhancing learners’ communicative competence. يهدفُ هذا البحثُ إلى تحليلِ دورِ علمِ الأصواتِ في تنميةِ المهاراتِ اللغويةِ العربية، وبيانِ علاقتهِ بمهاراتِ الاستماعِ والكلامِ والقراءةِ والكتابة. فقد برزت الحاجةُ إلى إعادةِ النظرِ في دورِ علمِ الأصواتِ في تنميةِ المهاراتِ اللغويةِ العربية لقلة اهتمام معلّ…

Subaltern Testimony and Necropolitical Sovereignty in Shadia al-Zoubi’s Aradna al-Hurriyyah'
type: item
description: This study examines Aradna al-Hurriyah by Shadia al-Zoubi from a postcolonial perspective by employing Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak's theory of Subalternity and Achille Mbembe's concept of Necropolitics. It aims to investigate the mechanisms of oppressive sovereignty in Syria and the forms of resistance articulated by subaltern subjects within testimonial literature. The study adopts a descriptive qualitative method, utilizing close reading and qualitative content analysis. The primary data consist of narratives, phrases, and linguistic expressions that represent violence, dehumanization, and freedom in the text. The findings reveal that the Syrian regime exercises internal colonialism through indiscriminate shootings, the bombing of civilian infrastructure, arbitrary detention, and the use of chemical weapons as instruments of necropolitical control. The analysis further demonstrates that testimonial narrative not only represents the lived experiences of subaltern suffering but also constitutes a space of political articulation through which silenced subjects are transformed into agents capable of renegotiating relations of power under conditions of state violence. These findings extend existing scholarship on Syrian testimonial literature by demonstrating the interconnection between subaltern experience, necropolitical governance, and the reconstruction of identity within a unified postcolonial analytical framework. Consequently, this study argues that testimonial literature functions not merely as a representation of wartime suffering but also as a medium for restoring human dignity, collective memory, and the sovereignty of identity while serving as a form of resistance to oppressive power. تتناول هذه الدراسة رواية "أردنا الحرية" للكاتبة شادية الزعبي من منظور ما بعد الاستعمار، مستندةً إلى نظرية التابع (Subalternity) عند غاياتري تشاكرافورتي سبيفاك ومفهوم السياسات الموتية (Necropolitics) لدى أشيل مبيمبي. وتهدف إلى الكشف عن آليات السيادة القمعية في سوريا، وأشكال المق…

Speech Acts in Dialogue Between Characters in the Novel "Banat Ar-Riyadh" by Rajaa Alsanea: Sociolinguistic Study
type: item
description: This study aims to examine speech acts in the dialogues between characters in Rajaa Alsanea’s novel Banat Ar-Riyadh from a sociolinguistic perspective. The data consist of written utterances from four main characters Qumrah, Sadim, Michelle, and Lamees collected using the listen-and-note technique. A descriptive qualitative approach was applied, employing the act-pair method to identify locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary dimensions, as well as language contact phenomena. The findings reveal two contrasting communication patterns. First, male figures and the older generation tend to dominate directive speech acts by employing Standard Arabic (Fusha) and traditional religious expressions as instruments of social control. Second, urban female characters display micro-resistance through code-switching and code-mixing between Arabic and English, along with the use of contemporary slang (Ammiyah). These linguistic practices function as markers of upper-middle socioeconomic class, as tools to foster solidarity among peers, and as channels for gendered emotional expression. Additionally, dialect stereotypes were observed, indicating sociolinguistic polarization within the speech community. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تحليل أفعال الكلام في الحوارات بين الشخصيات في رواية بنات الرياض للكاتبة رجاء الصانع من منظور سوسيولغوي. تتكون البيانات من الأقوال المكتوبة لأربع شخصيات رئيسية: قُمرة، سديم، ميشيل، ولميس، وقد جُمعت باستخدام تقنية الاستماع والتدوين. أُجري التحليل بطريقة وصفية نوعية من خلال منهج أزواج أفعال الكلام لتحديد أبعاد القول )اللوكسيو، الإلوكسيو، والبيرلوكسيو( ، إضافةً إلى ظواهر التماس اللغوي. أظهرت النتائج وجود نمطين متباينين في التواصل. أولاً، يميل الذكور والجيل الأكبر إلى السيطرة عبر أفعال كلام توجيهية مستخدمين اللغة العربية الفصحى والتعابير الدينية التقليدية كأداة للرقابة الاجتماعية. ثانياً، تُظهر الشخصيات النسائية الحضرية مقاومة دقيقة من خلال التناوب اللغوي والمزج بين العربية والإنجليزية، إلى جانب استخدام العامية المعاصرة (الأمية). وتعمل هذه الممارسات اللغوية كع…

Students' Educational Background and Arabic Reading Skills (Maharah Qira’ah): A Qualitative Study of Tenth-Grade Students at MAN 1 Medan
type: item
description: This study examines how students' educational backgrounds shape Arabic reading skills (maharah qira’ah) among tenth-grade students at MAN 1 Medan. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through classroom observation, interviews, and documentation. The informants were an Arabic teacher, a homeroom teacher, and students representing SMP, MTs, and pesantren backgrounds. Documentation of 229 student responses was used to map school origin. The findings show that MTs and pesantren graduates generally have stronger initial readiness in pronunciation, vocabulary recognition, text comprehension, and reading confidence. SMP graduates need more basic scaffolding in identifying Arabic letters, vowel marks, and simple meanings. However, motivation, vocabulary mastery, peer support, teacher strategy, and repeated reading practice enable several SMP graduates to improve. The study recommends differentiated instruction through diagnostic reading, vocabulary scaffolding, graded reading, and peer tutoring. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تحليل علاقة الخلفية التعليمية بمهارة القراءة العربية لدى طلاب الصف العاشر في المدرسة العالية الحكومية 1 ميدان. اعتمدت الدراسة المنهج الوصفي النوعي، وجمعت البيانات من خلال الملاحظة الصفية، والمقابلات، والوثائق المدرسية. شملت المقابلات معلما للغة العربية، وولي صف، وثلاثة طلاب يمثلون خلفيات SMP وMTs والمعهد الإسلامي. كما استخدمت الدراسة توثيق 229 استجابة حول أصل المدرسة. أظهرت النتائج أن طلاب MTs والمعاهد يمتلكون استعدادا أوليا أفضل في النطق، وفهم المفردات، واستيعاب النصوص، والثقة في القراءة. أما طلاب SMP فيحتاجون إلى دعم أساسي في التعرف إلى الحروف والحركات والمعاني البسيطة. ومع ذلك، تسهم الدافعية، وإتقان المفردات، ودعم الأقران، واستراتيجية المعلم، والتدريب المتكرر في تحسين مهارة القراءة. وتوصي الدراسة بالتعليم التفاضلي القائم على التشخيص الأولي، وتقوية المفردات، والتدريب المتدرج، والتعلم التعاوني.

Al Mustawayat al Uslubiyyah fi Manzumat Aqidat al Awam li al Sayyid Ahmad Marzuqi al Maliki
type: item
description: Nadzom is often examined only from a linguistic perspective, leaving its potential as a medium for value education and cultural preservation underexplored. This study addresses that gap by identifying the dominant stylistic features of Nadzom Aqidatul Awam and explaining how its linguistic aesthetics support students’ understanding of Islamic creed. The study employs library research, with the 57 verses of Nadzom Aqidatul Awam by Sayyid Ahmad Marzuki al-Maliki as the primary data source. The data are analyzed using Syihab al-Din Qalyubi’s stylistic framework, which comprises five levels: phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic, and imagery. The findings show that: (1) at the phonological level, the endings of the first and second hemistichs display consistent vowel patterns and rhyme, which facilitate memorization and recall; (2) at the morphological level, words derived from the same roots occur in different forms, such as yudhkar–tudhkar (verse 39) and al-sidq, al-siddiq, and al-tasdiq (verses 11 and 50), strengthening students’ understanding of the Prophet’s family and their belief in the Isra and Mi‘raj; (3) at the syntactic level, inversion and repetition are employed for emphasis, reinforcing belief in the Isra and Mi‘raj and the obligation to know the fifty principles of creed; (4) at the semantic level, jinas, tibaq, and synonymy in verses 2, 19, and 30 emphasize that Allah has neither beginning nor end and underscore the obligation to learn the fifty principles of creed; and (5) at the imagery level, the simile in verse 12 conveys that the Prophet Muhammad was human while possessing distinctive virtues. تُعَدُّ المنظومة أحد الأشكال الأدبية التي لا تقتصر وظيفتها على إبراز الجمال اللغوي، بل تُستعمل أيضًا وسيلةً لنقل القيم والمعارف الثقافية. ومع ذلك، غالبًا ما تُدرَس المنظومات في السياقات التعليمية والأكاديمية من منظور لغوي محض، مما يحول دون الإفادة الكاملة من إمكاناتها في غرس القيم التربوية وصون الثقافة. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى سد هذه الفجوة من خلال تحد…

Patriarchal Sexual Politics in Fatimah Abd al-Hamid’s Ta’ al-Niswah: A Kate Millett Feminist Reading
type: item
description: Although contemporary Saudi urban spaces are often associated with modernization and women’s increased visibility, literary representations suggest that patriarchal power persists in reconfigured forms. The mechanisms through which this power operates across domestic relations and urban consumer spaces therefore require closer textual examination. This study examines how patriarchal sexual politics is represented in Fatimah Abd Al-Hamid’s Ta’ al-Niswah and how its female characters internalize, negotiate, or resist domination in private and public spaces. Using a descriptive qualitative design within feminist literary criticism, the study applies close reading, systematic note-taking, and textual coding to the novel’s first Arabic edition, published in 2014. Guided by Kate Millett’s concepts of status, role, temperament, interior colonization, and patriarchy as a political institution, the analysis identifies five interrelated categories: coercive sexual subordination, unequal domestic labour, control over women’s bodies and mobility, objectification and stereotypical representation, and women’s internalization, negotiation, and resistance. These dynamics emerge in domestic, marital, occupational, and urban commercial spaces. The study shows that urban modernity does not eliminate patriarchal authority but reconfigures it through consumer culture, bodily regulation, social surveillance, and gendered expectations. However, its conclusions are limited to the novel’s literary representation and should not be generalized to all Saudi women. غالبًا ما ترتبط الفضاءات الحضرية السعودية المعاصرة بالتحديث وتزايد حضور المرأة، إلا أن التمثيلات الأدبية تشير إلى استمرار السلطة الأبوية في صور معاد تشكيلها. ولذلك، تتطلب الآليات التي تعمل من خلالها هذه السلطة داخل العلاقات الأسرية وفضاءات الاستهلاك الحضرية فحصًا نصيًا أكثر عمقًا. تبحث هذه الدراسة في كيفية تمثيل السياسة الجنسية الأبوية في رواية تاء النسوة لفاطمة عبد الحميد، وكيف تستبطن شخصياتها النسائية الهيمنة الأبوية أو تتفاوض معها…

Ontological Instability in Hasan Blāsim’s ‘Al-Ḥafrah’: McHale’s Postmodernist Fiction Analysis
type: item
description: This article aims to analyze the short story "al-Ḥafrah" by Ḥasan Blāsim using Brian McHale's theory of postmodern fiction. Previous studies on Blāsim’s fiction have predominantly examined themes of war, trauma, violence, exile, and refugee experience, while comparatively little attention has been paid to the narrative mechanisms through which his fiction reconstructs reality. Addressing this gap, this article investigates how ontological instability is constructed in the short story “al-Ḥafrah” through the framework of Brian McHale’s postmodern fiction theory. The study employs qualitative textual analysis of “al-Ḥafrah”, one of the twenty-five stories in Ma‘raḍ al-Juṡaṡ, using words, sentences, paragraphs, and dialogues as units of analysis. Seven textual excerpts were identified through repeated close reading and analyzed through five analytical dimensions: fictional representation, historical context, McHale’s theoretical conceptualization, textual interpretation, and empirical plausibility. The analysis demonstrates that the hole functions not merely as a narrative setting but as an ontological device that connects multiple fictional worlds and destabilizes conventional boundaries of space, time, identity, and reality. This ontological instability is produced through postmodernist narrative strategies, including spatial juxtaposition, interpolation, misattribution, and recursive structure, which collectively transform war, migration, and historical memory into interconnected ontological conditions rather than isolated historical events. These findings extend discussions of Blāsim’s fiction beyond thematic readings of conflict and exile by demonstrating how postmodern narrative techniques reconstruct reality itself. The study therefore contributes to both McHale’s postmodern narratology and contemporary scholarship on Iraqi war literature by foregrounding ontological instability as a central mechanism of literary representation. يهدف الهذا البحث إلى تحليل القصة …
