Request Formation By Greek-Cypriot Learners Of English And Native Speakers Of British English: A Cross-Cultural Perspective, Sorayia Fahmy

Archived Theses and Dissertations

In a world where the importance of borders may be declining, knowing what is appropriate behavior for the native speakers of a target language, and being able to apply this “appropriateness”, is of the utmost importance, if learners are to communicate effectively with native speakers (Wolfson, 1983). Second language (L2) cultural values and social relationships, knowing when to talk, what to say, what is conventional in a language, and what is not, how and to what extent to be indirect (Tannen, 1984) are only some of the considerations that learners should acknowledge when performing a speech act in a foreign …

Impact Of Islamic Tv On Social Development In Egypt, Mohamed Ahmed Selim Khalil

Archived Theses and Dissertations

At a critical time where the world is accusing the Islamic media of enticing terrorism and inveigling sectarian violence and turbulence, a research had to be conducted to study Islamic Media and unveil all ambiguities and remove all the universal question marks.

Many people believe that Islamic media are mutilated off springs of the fanatic Islamic discourse propagated at some mosques' pulpits which is aiming at alluring the Muslims towards martyrdom and paradise. They neglect all earthly deeds for more infinite and definite ones awaiting the martyrs and the blessed.

This thesis examines that concept with respect to the Egyptian …

Conversations With Women In Ma'sarah, Cairo, Jeannette Rizk

Archived Theses and Dissertations

My research centers around the daily realities and lives of three women of one family in Ma'sarah, Cairo. The particularities of their life experiences speak to the experience of Egyptian women in general, while their own unique situation as Evangelical Christians in a majority Muslim country sets them apart from both their Muslim and Coptic neighbors, about whom much has been written. Various methods are used to illuminate their perception of life with a focus on gender identity. The written prose captures their personal narratives while the visual narrative, a documentary film, allows the women to speak for themselves. Together …

Sylvia Plath And The Crisis Of The Self: A Feminist Reading Of The Late Poetry, Rania Salah Mohamed

The thesis examines the existential dilemma of the modern poet in a world of confusion and the psychology of defense against death and suffering in the feminist struggle against the other.

It also sheds light on theories about the identity of the "original" author of such monumental works as the Iliad and Odyssey, Shakespeare's plays, and T.S. Eliot's Wasteland. Lastly, the study …
