The Sobering Lesson Of The Grolier Codex, John L. Sorenson, John W. Welch

Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship

T he story of the authenticating of the Grolier Codex twenty-five years ago still teaches some valuable lessons about the dangers of jumping to conclusions and the problems of name-calling, even though the scholars involved no longer hold to their original positions. As, discussed recently by John L. Sorenson, the discovery of ancient manuscripts is a touchy issue that, for some people, can be unsettling.

Language Sciences And Their Impact On Dispelling The Illusion Of Difference And Contradiction In The Book Of God, Ahmed Ababneh Aug 2023

Language Sciences And Their Impact On Dispelling The Illusion Of Difference And Contradiction In The Book Of God, Ahmed Ababneh

Jordan Journal of Applied Science-Humanities Series

This study examines the employment of language sciences to dispel the illusion of difference and contradiction in the Holy Qur’an through the use of rhetoric and grammar. Rhetoric is explored through its three branches: semantics, eloquence, and "badi" (embellishment). In semantics, techniques such as the meanings of letters, the method of delivering information and intent, implication and explicitness, and presenting assumptions as certainties or straightforward ideas are analyzed. The rhetorical device of metaphor is also considered. For the science of "badi," the study demonstrates that certain topics influence dispelling misconception, focusing on moral enhancements like exaggeration in description—not for the …

Sources Of Income For Women In Islam, Abdulfattah Al-Samman Aug 2023

Sources Of Income For Women In Islam, Abdulfattah Al-Samman

Jordan Journal of Applied Science-Humanities Series

According to some studies, the feminization of poverty has become a common trend in Islamic societies, with rates exceeding 70%. This situation directly contradicts the essence of Sharia, which provides women with thirty sources of income and ensures their financial independence and care in all circumstances. If a woman is wealthy, Sharia safeguards her wealth and grants her the freedom to spend it as she wishes. In the Muslim community, a breadwinner is typically responsible for meeting her needs, protecting her honor, and providing food, drink, clothing, and housing according to his ability. In the absence of a breadwinner, Allah …

A Corpus-Based Study Of English Synonyms: Small, Little, Tiny And Petite, Raeda Ammari, Wajed Al-Ahmad

Jordan Journal of Applied Science-Humanities Series

Synonymy is one of the complex linguistic features that learners of English face as a second language. This study investigates the similarities and differences among four English synonyms—small, little, tiny, and petite—in terms of their genres, usage comparisons, grammatical patterns, and collocations. The data is derived from both the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) as a native English corpus and the Cambridge Learner Corpus (CLC) as the non-native corpus. The results from both corpora show that small and little are frequently used, while petite is rarely used in COCA and not used at all in CLC. …

The Legend Of Orpheus Between Narrative And Religious Presence: The Poem 'Dar Jeddi' By Al-Sayab As A Model, Salem Al-Trabeen Aug 2023

The Legend Of Orpheus Between Narrative And Religious Presence: The Poem 'Dar Jeddi' By Al-Sayab As A Model, Salem Al-Trabeen

Jordan Journal of Applied Science-Humanities Series

The study provides an analytical reading of one of the most important Greek legends, the legend of Orpheus, and how it is used within the poetic construction of the Arabic poem. The use of this myth has varied among poets, but Badr Shaker al-Sayyab stands out as one of the poets who presented the legend of Orpheus in its religious and spiritual form, rather than in its legendary context. The poem "Dar Jeddi" by Al-Sayyab represents a significant achievement in employing the legend of Orpheus through its spiritual discourse. This study presents the integration of the legend within the construction …

Semantic Disparity Between Amr (Command) And Nahy (Negative Command) In The Noble Quran: An Interpretive/Contextual Study, Saad Meqdad, Murad Al-Bayyari, Mohammad Al-Taher Aug 2023

Semantic Disparity Between Amr (Command) And Nahy (Negative Command) In The Noble Quran: An Interpretive/Contextual Study, Saad Meqdad, Murad Al-Bayyari, Mohammad Al-Taher

Jordan Journal of Applied Science-Humanities Series

The present study explores the semantic disparity between the use of the verb Amr (command) and Nahy (negative command), based on the contexts of each in the Noble Quran. Among the key results of the study is that Amr primarily serves to obligate the prompt execution of an action or its continuous maintenance, which may or may not have commenced prior to the command. Furthermore, Amr often denotes a desirable or commendable action. In contrast, Nahy, which consists of a present verb with Lā, typically necessitates halting a despicable action that is common or committed by some individuals. It is …

Code Switching Use, Attitudes, And Identity: Differences Among Spanish-English Bilinguals In Canada, Mexico, And The United States, Ana Sofia Rubalcava Karmanov Aug 2023

Code Switching Use, Attitudes, And Identity: Differences Among Spanish-English Bilinguals In Canada, Mexico, And The United States, Ana Sofia Rubalcava Karmanov

Theses and Dissertations

Code-switching (CS) has been extensively studied for a variety of purposes and under many contexts. In recent years there has been a shift in CS literature to better understand the sociological forces that affect speakers’ use of CS. While in earlier literature, CS was perceived negatively by both speakers and the general public (Milroy & Muysken, 1995; MacGregor-Mendoza, 2021; Anderson & Toribio, 2007; Fishman, 1967), it has since been shown that many bilinguals view CS positively. More recent research suggests that bilinguals perceive CS as an important part of their identity and use it to show they belong to particular …

The -Go Morpheme And Reference Tracking In Jicarilla Apache, Lee Shanideen Ferrin

Theses and Dissertations

Jicarilla Apache is a Southern Athabaskan language with a complex verbal structure, including a prefix template with positions for more than ten affixes. Little has been done to document or describe the language grammatically or typologically, but one of the morphemes that has been described in the literature is the suffix -go. The morpheme can be found in elicited speech as well as in narrations. This morpheme is one of the few verbal affixes that can appear after the verb stem and plays a role in many subordinate clause constructions. It has been described as a temporal marker, a feature …

Forgotten Voices: Japanese War Orphans In China, Feimo Zhu Aug 2023

Forgotten Voices: Japanese War Orphans In China, Feimo Zhu

Theses - ALL

Research on World War II (WWII) history has predominantly focused on the European theater, with limited attention given to the war’s events in Asia. The scarcity of in-depth studies conducted by Asian historians necessitates an investigation into the complex events that unfolded in this region during this significant period in world history. This study aims to shed light on the often-neglected history of Japanese war orphans in China during WWII and their lives in the post-war era. To provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the war’s impact on the lives of ordinary individuals, this study follows the historical timeline …

In this study, two experiments are conducted to study language regard of Utah English. Experiment 1 is a draw-a-map study wherein participants were asked to mark areas on a map to of Utah where people speak differently (Preston 1989; Bucholtz et al. 2007). Experiment 2 uses a new research method, referred to here as a "perceptual audio survey".

The Effect Of Shadowing With Text Presentation On Intermediate-Level Esl Learners' Pronunciation, Mishelle Kehoe

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this research was to replicate previous studies (Foote et al., 2017; Martinsen et al., 2017) investigating the technique of shadowing and its impact on English language learners’ oral fluency and intelligibility. The target population for this study was intermediate-level English language learners as prior shadowing research has focused on advanced learners (Foote et al., 2017) and beginner learners (Lu, 2021).

L2 English And Language Anxiety: Accuracy, Comprehensibility, And Speech Rate Across Three Communication Tasks, W. Cole Thorpe

Theses and Dissertations

This study examines how second language (L2) English learners differ in their amount of language anxiety across three communication tasks: a formal academic speaking test, an informal casual interaction with a classmate during an activity in pairs, and a formal interview with an unfamiliar native speaker. It also addressed whether and how their language anxiety across the three tasks affected their accuracy, comprehensibility, and rate of speech. Thirty-seven intermediate-high L2 English learners participated in the three communication tasks. They also completed a general language anxiety questionnaire and three anxiety inventories--one before each task. Results demonstrated that the speaking exam caused …

Panem's Parallel's: Authoritarianism In The Real World, Quentin J. Stewart Aug 2023

Panem's Parallel's: Authoritarianism In The Real World, Quentin J. Stewart

Honors Capstones

Throughout the twentieth century, there has been an increasing awareness and fear of authoritarian governments in the Western world, the United States in particular. While these methods of governance were steadily becoming more present in Western media throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, portrayals of authoritarianism and dystopia experienced a peak in popularity toward the end of the two-thousands decade, with book and film franchises like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins spearheading this emergence. Many of the themes and aspects of the series setting alert the audience to many of the ways authoritarianism can be seen in real life, …

Narrativas Maternas Y Activismo Digital: Vertientes Políticas De Las Maternidades Contemporáneas A Través De Los Escenarios Digitales, Catalina Echeverri Gallo

The Qualitative Report

En la actualidad, las mujeres han encontrado en los espacios digitales nuevas formas de relacionarse en torno a las maternidades, lo que ha ampliado las posibilidades de significar, transitar y cuestionar sus vivencias como madres. A través de las redes sociales y otros escenarios digitales, se han generado dinámicas relacionales que entrelazan lo íntimo y personal con lo político y público. Estas dinámicas han sido objeto de estudio en mi investigación doctoral, la cual se centra en una etnografía digital con siete blogueras colombianas y sus comunidades digitales. Con el fin de comprender cómo las narrativas e interacciones digitales politizan …
