Translating the Islamic Religious Expressions in "Taha Hussein's Novel 'Al Ayaam'" by "E. H. Paxton"
Abdo, Ibrahem Bani; Manzallawi, Banan – English Language Teaching, 2020

As a result, this paper investigates to what extent have Venuti's strategies (domestication and…

Hawamdeh, Mohammad Amin – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2021
The present study aims at observing how bracketed insertions in translation elicit mutual cooperation with receptors.

Fattah, Ashraf; Yahiaoui, Rashid – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2019
This study seeks to contribute to addressing a gap in theory-driven corpus-based research focused on the so-called translation specific features (TSF) in Arabic translated texts. It provides a contrastive Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL)-informed analysis of concessive/contrastive connective markers in a selected comparable corpus made up of…

Al-Rashdan, Bashar; Alrashdan, Imran; Al Salem, Mohd Nour; Alghazo, Sharif – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2021
Although translation is a means of intercultural communication, it represents a challenge when it comes to rendering the intended meaning of some propositions, particularly because every language has its distinctive features and structures that may not be accurately rendered into the target language. This challenge is reinforced when translation…

Verb inflectional morphology and prepositions are loci of difficulty for bilingual children with typical language development (TLD) as well as children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI). This paper examines errors in these linguistic domains in these two populations. Bilingual English-Hebrew and Russian-Hebrew preschool children, aged five…

Faust, Miriam; Ben-Artzi, Elisheva; Vardi, Nili – Brain and Language, 2012
Previous studies suggest that whereas the left hemisphere (LH) is involved in fine semantic processing, the right hemisphere (RH) is uniquely engaged in coarse semantic coding including the comprehension of distinct types of language such as figurative language, lexical ambiguity and verbal humor (e.g., and ). The present study examined the…

This cross-linguistic study evaluates children's understanding of passives in 11 typologically different languages: Catalan, Cypriot Greek, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, German, Hebrew, Lithuanian, and Polish. The study intends to determine whether the reported gaps between the comprehension of active and passive and between short and…

Bick, Atira S.; Goelman, Gadi; Frost, Ram – Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2011
Is language processing universal? How do the specific properties of each language influence the way it is processed? In this study, we compare the neural correlates of morphological processing in Hebrew--a Semitic language with a rich and systematic morphology, to those revealed in English--an Indo-European language with a linear morphology. Using…

Nedwick, Kelly M. – ProQuest LLC, 2014
Negation is a unique and fascinating property of human language which has been given extensive theoretical and typological treatment. One categorization divides negation use into metalinguistic negation and descriptive negation (Horn, 1985). Descriptive negation (DN) is the truth-functional semantic operator which has received the most attention…

Algady, Dola – ProQuest LLC, 2013
The new developments in syntactic theory under Minimalism reconsiders the relation between the language faculty and general cognitive systems whereby language acquisition is accomplished by the interaction of Chomsky (2005)'s three factors: (F1) a minimally specified UG (Genetic endowment); (F2) Primary Linguistic Data (PLD), i.e., input; and (F3)…

Tsukada, Kimiko – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2012
This study assessed the prediction that individuals are able to use the knowledge from their first language (L1) in processing the comparable sound contrasts in an unknown language. Two languages, Arabic and Japanese, which utilize vowel duration contrastively, were examined. Native Arabic (NA) and native Japanese (NJ) listeners' discrimination…

Gathercole, Virginia C. Mueller; Moawad, Ruba Abdelmatloub – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2010
This study examines L1-L2 interaction in semantic categorization in early and late L2 learners. Word categories that overlapped but were not identical in Arabic and English were tested. Words always showed a "wider" range of application in one language, "narrower" in the other. Three types of categories--"classical", "radial", and…
