تحليل الخطب السياسية حول العنصرية للرئيس دونالد ترامب خلال فترة رئاسته

This paper attempts to illuminate the ways in which racist ideology is represented and articulated in everyday discourse. Since racism has been and continues to be, a driving force behind segregation in the United States, American rhetoric has been selected as the data for this investigation. This research analyses the speeches of US President Donald Trump on racism towards Muslim people through linguistic, social, and cultural perspectives. The study is an attempt to cast light on the strategies that are used express racism in the President’s speeches. To achieve the research objectives, the researcher used the qualitative approach. The data was collected from six major speeches on racism made by President Donald Trump and downloaded from YouTube and the Euronews Arabic online channel. Fairclough model (1995) is used as the main analysis model in this research. The results show that the self-other schema was heavily evident in Trump's speech, in which he effectively portrayed himself as a national hero who wants to rescue America from suffering and disaster while painting Muslims in a bad light. This study also revealed Trump's transparent effort to promote his virtuous persona by using a number of rhetorical methods meant to instill undesirable traits to Muslims, such as pronounced Islamophobia. The results show that Trump utilizes demagogic language to establish a gap between Muslims and Americans, which he then uses to metaphorically exclude individuals of other ethnic identities, particularly Muslims.

Mechanisms of Arguments in the Prophet’s First Sermon after the Confession: A Man Does Not Lie to His Family

Objectives: The study aims to reveal the argumentative mechanisms, values, and concepts embedded in the Prophet's sermon, and its rhetorical impact on enhancing the meaning and capturing the recipient's attention to the message's text.
 Methods: This study analyzes the argumentative verbal milestones in the Prophet's (PBUH) sermon from philosophical, rhetorical, and deliberate perspectives. It examines the introduction, semi-logical and reality-based arguments, as well as the role of argumentative links connecting ideas within the text. Additionally, it investigates the rhetorical, divine, and constructive methods, and their impact on enriching and persuading skeptical recipients of the new religion and messenger.
 Results:The study finds that this text, despite its brevity, is an argumentative text par excellence due to the presence of numerous argumentative mechanisms. It takes into account the eloquence level and acceptance of the argumentative message by the addressees. The researcher thoroughly studies and analyzes this text in its entirety, including letters, links, actions, and argumentative messages to achieve the desired result of this study.
 Conclusions: It is crucial to pay attention to rhetorical texts in general and the sermons of the Prophet (PBUH) in particular, to trace the rhetorical methods and argumentative mechanisms that persuade the addressees of the sermon's message.

Histories of Radical Interactionality: Rivers, Disease, Borders, and Laundry

ABSTRACT The Spanish flu’s efficacy of spreading across El Paso was in part due to neoliberal governments and racially prejudiced free-market economies exploiting a natural ecosystem to marginalize a Latinx community. This study identifies the tragic consequences these actions brought about for an entire city of both marginalized and privileged. This work argues for a new paradigm of rhetorical agency that accounts for interactions between rhetorical ecologies happening over time. This work demonstrates this paradigm through government policies, newspaper articles, press releases, and ecological surveys of El Paso, Texas, beginning with the early nineteenth century through the first years of the Spanish flu (1918–20). Through the lens of rhetorical methods concerning agency distribution and radical interactionality, we see how one neighborhood played a vital role in the epidemic’s spread throughout the city.

The Method of (Al-nasb) on (Al-qate') in the Qur'an (A Semantic Study from Interpretation and Language Scholars' Point of View)

The Arabic language is the language of eloquence, and God Almighty has honored it with the revelation of the Qur'an on the methods of its people in discourse. And when the Qur'an was revealed, it witnessed the peak of maturity that made it fit to challenge the eloquent Arabs with a hadith like the Qur'an. The Arabs were unable to come up with fluent words that were similar to the Qur'an. The language of the Qur'an being challenged was extremely graceful, the most incapable of rhetoric, astonishing the listeners, and capturing minds and hearts as if it were magic because it is eloquent. For this reason, we aspired to reveal one of the methods of the Great Qur'an that came by the methods of the Arabs in eloquence and speech, which is where the singular noun contradicts what preceded it in the systems in syntax. As if it was alone in the systems. This method was called (the exception to the exclusion), and it is a broad method used by the Arabs in their speech, with the name ``Al-nasb for exclusion,'' sometimes ``by Al-nasb depending on praise and slander,'' and sometimes ``by Al-nasb by specialization.'' The reason for cutting the adjective from the descriptive is due to a special rhetorical reason in which the new meaning is performed more strongly, and is represented in showing praise, slander, or mercy by specifying the word from the context and not following it in an expression similar to it in the style of attention used by the Arabs, to alert the mind of the listener and activate it for the speech delivered. When the Arabs focus on praise and vilification, they want to single out the praised and the blameworthy to specialize in them. If the Arab wants to draw attention to what he wants of praise, slander, or mercy, he goes against what is accustomed to the common and familiar ways of expression, so he cuts the adjective from the participle, and does not follow it in the expression. The solution to the research problem is summarized by questions, including, What is the purpose of (Al-nasb) on (Al-qate')? Is it a style of the Arabs accustomed to the speech? What are the meanings that came from (Al-qate')? How can we deal with the opinions that say this way is wrong? Why were some Qur'anic words chosen in particular? What are the rhetorical cases for this method? The study required that the research be divided into four sections, preceded by an introduction and followed by a conclusion, in which we followed the inductive-analytical method. As for the sources, books on language, grammar, and meanings had the largest share, in addition to books on the interpretation of the Qur'an.

Adaptation For Islamic Animation Storytelling: The Rhetorical Approach of Al-Mau’izah Al-Hasanah in Tafseer Al-Azhar

Al-Mau’izah Al-Hasanah is among the three Islamic Da’wah Methods that uses rhetorical strategies in da’wah dissemination. The method is based on Surah An-Nahl verse 125 in the Qur’an. As the verses of the Qur’an uses an Arabic text, Muslim need to use Tafseer as a guideline to enhance their understanding and knowledge of Islamic teaching. This is because not all Muslims are specialists in the Arabic language, despite being able to read the Quran in Arabic. Tafseer Al-Azhar is an interpretation of Qur'anic verses written by Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah (Hamka) during his prison sentence. Hamka is an Indonesian philosopher who is also actively involved in teaching Islam through his country's educational system. The Al-Azhar exegesis book is notable for its use of rhetoric to explain the meaning of Qur'anic verses for Muslims' comprehension of the Arabic text of the Qur'an. The purpose of this research is to examine the rhetorical strategy employed in Hamka's Tafseer Al-Azhar. By referencing the exegesis content of Fatihah verses in Tafseer Al-Azhar, this study focuses solely on the rhetorical method of Al-Mau'izah Al-Hasanah. This study employed the qualitative method by analyzing the content of books and journals related to Tafseer Al-Azhar. The rhetorical material in Tafseer Al-Azhar is distinctive in that Hamka used rhyme and aesthetics language to convey the narrative of its interpretation. It is interesting to mention that Islamic Animation Storytelling of Qur'anic verses could be derived from the rhetorical substance provided in the Tafseer Al-Azhar.

An Analysis of Cultural Metaphors in Translation from a Cognitive Linguistic Perspective

Metaphor has been studied for centuries, but traditionally it has been confined to the field of rhetoric, and seen as a rhetorical method. However, with the development of modern society and the advancement of cognitive linguistics, some cognitive linguistics researchers believe that metaphor is no longer just a rhetorical and linguistic phenomenon, but also a mode of thinking. The conceptual system of metaphor contains rich and sufficient cultural information, which makes the cognitive activity of metaphor very complex and the translation of cultural metaphors extremely difficult. Therefore, although many Chinese scholars are keen on the study of metaphor and the translation theories of Western metaphor, few of them have applied them in practice, which has led to the lack of guiding translation principles for metaphor.

TEXT BETRAYAL VERSUS CULTURAL LOYALTY: EMPLOYED STRATEGIES IN TRANSLATING ARABIC POETIC TEXT INTO ENGLISH

Translating Arabic poetry into English or any European or (anti-Semitic) language constitutes an essential burden on the translator due to their common origins that are similar in terms of rhetorical uses (e.g., synecdoche, metaphor, simile, euphemism, and the most important of all, similarity in grammatical, morphological and derivational linguistic rules). In the case of rendering Arabic poetry into English, the gap is vast and this requires a double effort, wider knowledge, and a high-level culture awareness on part of the translator. More importantly, the translator has to be equipped with an abundant knowledge of the means of influence that fall within the circle of rhetoric methods that may be unique to both Arabic and English languages. That is what we called Text Betrayal Versus Cultural Loyalty.

Attending to the Sounds of Sonorous Stones

Readers will probably understand from written instructions that the task of preparing lithography stones can be slow and physically demanding. A detail in the recently updated Tamarind Techniques for Fine Art Lithography also worth noting is that ‘careful attention is needed for this and all other aspects of lithography’ (Devons, Hammon, and Lagutta 2008, p.126). Reflecting on the significance of this sometimes lengthy process, my tentative proposal is that, if understood as a form of contemplative labour, limestone graining may offer a way to think about the quality of the ‘careful attention’ needed for lithography. However, far from a silent meditative activity, graining stones is also noisy. Likewise, in this account attention and noise are equally present as the indivisible aspects of a mode of perceptual awareness that I propose is familiar to lithographers. This paradoxical coupling, I suggest, might also reveal the nature of the language engendered by the synchronic vibrations between inscribing flesh and limestone matrices. A fragment from ongoing research that tests the generative intersection between stone lithography and language, infiltrating the seemingly mute pixels of the text that follows, is the sensory phenomenon of sound: both as the protagonist for an interdisciplinary narrative that brings lithography into dialogue with a tour of the world’s sonorous stones and in a rhetorical method of disparate parts that invites the reader to experience an equivalence between listening carefully to the ephemeral, and attending closely to the particular. Alongside geologists, musicians, and acoustic engineers, shaping the terrain of this speculative coupling of lithographic and lithophonic worlds are the voices of Simone Weil, Cynthia Bourgeault, Ashon Crawley, Cecile Malaspina, Michel Serres, Salome Voegelin, and the life and work of Birgit Skiold.

Proces twórczy w improwizacji teatralnej z perspektywy retorycznej

Creative Process in the Theatrical Improvisation from the Rhetorical Perspective The research subject is the creative process in improvisational theatre. Contemporary improvisational theatre (improv) is a form of theatre in which all or part of what is performed is created spontaneously in front of the audience, without a script or a plan. The plot, dialogues and characters are shaped and acted out simultaneously during the performance. The research focuses on the mechanisms of creating text in front of an audience. The preparation for the analysis were the questionnaire interviews with artists representing three theatre groups, who presented their own intuitions regarding creative invention. Their answers influenced the choice of research methods. To reconstruct the creative process, a critical-rhetorical perspective was adopted (rhetoric is understood here as a generative-inventive method) in its three versions: classical, pentadic and cluster criticism. The analysis included material from the Hurt Luster group’s theatre performance, which was recorded and transcribed. To illustrate the creative process in improv, the article presents an analysis of one scene in order to focus on the process of complex creative motivations of the improvisers. The triangulation of critical and rhetorical methods allowed for an analytical view of the same fragment of the performance, distinguishing in it (1) the cause-and-effect consequences of the creative process, (2) reconstruction of the dramatic situation and (3) reconstruction of associations that had a maieutic function, provoking reactions to verbal and gestural stimuli.

Al_Muhibi Methodology and Interests through the Book, (Khulasat Al'athar Fi A'aeyan Alkarn AL-Hadi Ashar)

This study tackles the historical methodology of Al_Muhibi in his book (Kulaste AL'ather), It also aims at shedding light on his very distinguished methodology through the book Kulaste AL'ather, and his book is one of the most important translation books of that period. The results indicated that Al_Muhibi followed in his translation his own style and he was very careful in the selection of words to maintain the meaning, and he chose rhetorical methods, and he was out of the content of the comprehensiveness of the translations, to confine them in a period of time which is chronologically near.

The deep semantics of the rhetorical style in the speech of the dignified guests of Abraham

This research deals with the study of rhetorical methods/styles from the perspective of semantics and rhetoric in the speech of the honored guests of Abraham in the three positions in the holy Koran. The researcher attempted to reveal the semantic secrets and the moral tones underlying the structures of these rhetorical methods after deep analysis and exploration of the depths of the moral fields that came/were used to express them. The researcher insisted on revealing how the previous and subsequent contexts affected and were affected by those methods and their implications. By careful exploration and induction, it has been found that the speech has carefully used the predicate of the subject with all its types, questioning, metaphor, synecdoche, euphemism. The research concluded that deep connotations and precise moral tones of the structures of these methods were observed through exploring the topics that came/were used to express them in the speech of the guests to their host. The research also proved that no other structures could be used to convey the same message.

Intelligent Voice System Design for Optimizing E-Business Advertising Rhetoric Based on SVM Algorithm.

With the emergence and development of artificial intelligence, design is no longer a process that can be completed only by creativity and knowledge. This article introduces research based on voice data mining and further discusses the optimization and application of rhetorical methods for e-commerce advertising. This article is working from two main aspects: one is to use association rule models in speech data mining to obtain useful rule relationships between Chinese prosody parameters, and the other is to use neural networks and data items in speech data mining. Using computer technology can make online advertisements interact with users. In addition to clicking on advertisements to jump to product pages, online advertisements also have multichannel sensory feelings, which can provide rich information and stimulate interest through interaction with users. We need to optimize the rhetoric of the advertisement and pay attention to the combination of the beauty of speech and the content of the advertisement when designing the advertisement. At the same time, we must also pay attention to the accuracy and elegance of the advertising language and wording.

The Construction of Knowledge Claims in Three Disciplines: An Exploration of Hedging and Boosting Strategies in Research Articles Written in English by Arab and Anglophone Writers

Background. Academic writers utilize a variety of rhetorical methods to construct their knowledge claims through hedges and boosters. These two strategies may also be affected by disciplinary, cultural, or generic contexts. 
 Purpose. This mixed-methods contrastive research study explored how disciplinary and cultural contexts may affect the way Arab and Anglophone writers construct and modulate knowledge claims through hedges and boosters in the results and discussion sections of 90 English research articles in three disciplines: Journalism, Law, and Political Science.
 Methods. Instances of hedges and boosters and their pragmatic functions in context were identified, employing Liu and Tseng’s (2021) framework. This framework provides a detailed functional interpretation of the use and variation of these devices along four continuums: authorial voice, reasoning, consensus-building, and information evaluation.
 Results. The results showed interesting contrasts and similarities between both groups regarding the approaches they used to define their levels of commitment and detachment in their knowledge claims. The quantitative findings revealed significant differences in hedges but non-significant differences in boosters used by both groups. The qualitative analysis revealed that hedging and boosting functions in Arab and Anglophone writers’ RAs differed along the four continuums. Anglophone writers often used hedges in their writing to show humility, negotiate knowledge claims, and accommodate vagueness. These acts enabled them to sketch the realities emerging from their research. By contrast, the English-speaking Arab writers used fewer hedging strategies and demonstrated assertiveness, and assumed shared knowledge to enhance the realities constructed in their knowledge claims.
 Implications. These findings can benefit ESP/EAP teachers, especially those teaching writing for publication purposes to raise postgraduate students’ awareness of epistemic modality markers. A custom-made ESP/EAP course tailored to the needs of learners based on Liu and Tseng’s (2021) hedging-boosting framework can be devised to develop communicative and academic strategies in English.

Selling nationalism: the Hong Kong teleplay the legendary Huo Yuanjia in 1980s Mainland China

ABSTRACT In 1984, the Hong Kong teleplay Legendary Huo Yuanjia was officially released on national television stations in Mainland China. The teleplay, shot against the background of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century China, tells the story of Huo Yuanjia, a nationalist kung fu hero who carries forward the national spirit and constructs a national identity through practicing martial arts. Upon its release, the teleplay was well-received across Mainland China; much better received than it was in Hong Kong. It was released when the reform and opening up of Mainland China was at its initial stage and when China and Britain had just reached substantive conclusions on the issue of Hong Kong’s return to China. There are two main reasons for the play’s popularity. First, the historical and cultural information associated with the image of Huo Yuanjia, together with its rhetorical expression in the teleplay, brought “Old China” back to life, helping to relieve the identity crisis the Chinese people were experiencing during the process of modernization. Second, the teleplay provided mass media (as well as the Chinese government) the logic to mobilize national support for its “qu bingfu” efforts, enabling the media to integrate individual resources during the process of modernization. Therefore, Legendary Huo Yuanjia set a good example for Mainland media to follow regarding how to communicate nationalist ideology through commercial narrative. The rhetorical method it adopted became the basic method of nationalist heroic narrative in the Mainland for the following three decades.
