Al-Sayyid Muhammad Alawi's Thoughts on The Hadith of Glorifying the Ahl Al-Bayt

The perception of the equal position of Ahl al-Bayt with society, in general, necessitates the need for research on hadiths recommending glorifying Ahl al-Bayt. This study describes the meaning of hadith in the classical and contemporary eras. This research aims to provide readers with an understanding of the importance of understanding hadith textually and contextually. Al-Sayyid Alawi's theory is intended to help readers comprehend the methodologies employed by classical and modern scholars to practice the Prophet's hadith. Then, the method used in this research is library research. The primary source in this research is the book Manhaj al-Salaf fi Fahm al-Nusus baina al-Nadhariyah wa al-Tatbiq by Al-Sayyid Muhammad Alawi. According to Al-Sayyid Muhammad, the hadith about glorifying the Ahl al-Bayt is a category of authentic hadith. Many narrators narrated this hadith. In interpreting the hadith regarding the recommendation to glorify Ahl al-Bayt, Sayyid Muhammad Alawi is more inclined to the textual meaning. According to him, glorifying Ahl al-Bayt is the obligation of Muslims. Glorifying Ahl al-Bayt is a form of glorification and respect for the Prophet. Ahl al-Bayt, in the Islamic view, has attitudes and conscience like humans in general. They are not equipped with ma'shum characteristics. Wrong attitudes and forgetfulness are two attitudes that are inherent in Ahl al-Bayt as humans in general. There is no contradiction between the hadith's recommendation to glorify Ahl al-Bayt and surah al-hujurat verse 13. Glorifying Ahl al-Bayt is part of Adami's rights. Meanwhile, piety is a right related to Allah. To avoid errors in perception, good judgment is needed in assessing and criticizing Rasulullah's Ahl al-Bayt. Glory and respect are the rights of the Prophet and his family. Respecting the Prophet and Ahl al-Bayt is a characteristic of a pious person.

“Discourse” and “Discourse Analysis”: Front-burner Notions

In this study, we examine front-burner notions in two discrete terms: “discourse” and “discourse analysis”. Discourse analysis is not a new field of language study. This is why numerous notions abound therein, for the elucidation of language-related phenomena in human communication across genres. Some of the phenomena are so contentious that critical notions in discourse and discourse analysis continue to evolve. Discourse is human interaction. It has structure which is analyzed to reveal not just meanings, but also the underpinnings of such meanings. Linguistic conventions and extra-linguistic nuances underpin textual meanings to provide rich insights into the dynamics of language use in texts. A discourse analyst is interested in the discourse strategies deployed by speakers and writers for the purpose of effective communication. In this study, notions presented and examined are essentially explanative in terms of elucidating communicative strategies of language users. This view establishes the similarity between discourse analysis and pragmatics. The study concludes that discourse analysis is: context-based, functional, socially realistic, organizational structure, part of a whole, on-going communication and cross-disciplinary

Applying Juliane House’s Translation Quality Assessment Model on Audio-Visual Political Translations of Arab Intermediate Translators

Modern translation devices cannot achieve the expected accuracy as they cannot make up the target text as original as the source text on either the cultural or linguistic level. Translation quality is expected to be a critical academic area, especially concerning audio-visual translation, as it cannot be generated by a machine-translator due to its multidimensional nature. The reason for applying political translation in this study is the linguistic and cultural richness of political discourse, as many political texts are defined and understood in terms of ideology, culture, and political circumstances. The present paper adopts a qualitative aspect. It will be applied through a comparative approach as the study will compare both source text (discourse) and target texts (discourse) according to Juliane House’s model. House’s model is applied due to its comprehensiveness, which analyzes translation according to many aspects including lexical, syntactic, and textual meanings. In addition, House’s model applies the communication theory of “sender-receiver” to the text for defining the accuracy of translation in terms of the relationship between the sender and the receiver. Here, the significance of the study is to testify and examine Juliane House’s as a translation quality assessment model and its efficiency assessing and evaluating audio-visual political translations of Arab intermediate translators.

Making The Best Use Of Ads In Flipped Classroom For Improving Critical Reading Comprehension

Modern pedagogy emphasizes strongly on interactive learner-centred teaching and Flipped Method is fast becoming popular in language teaching programs. The language of ads, being rich in its ideational, interpersonal and textual meanings, offers ample resources for improving critical reading ability. This study attempts to blend these two important phenomena of modern life: Flipped Method and advertisements. Considering the richness of the ad’s language, the researcher conducted this exploratory study and showed that the analyses of the ad’s language on the three levels of Hallidayan paradigm can greatly improve learners’ critical comprehension ability. T[1]he research relies heavily on Dell Hymes’s idea of language as a social construct. The researcher’s objective was to explore how far the Critical Discourse Analyses of ad’s linguistic elements can enhance the critical reading ability of the learners if the attempt exploits the advantages of Flipped Method. The linguistic analyses of two ads on the theoretical framework of Halliday indicated that the linguistic resources are exploited dexterously to achieve the desired locution, ill-locution and perlocution and the successful readers can improve their critical skill through interactive analyses of ads.

Coordinating conjunction in students’ recount text: A sentence construction analysis

This study sought to examine student errors in employing a coordinating conjunction to produce recall text. This study found all errors in 36 recount texts written by senior high school students in Indramayu (district in West Java) using Halliday and Hasan's Taxonomy (1976) and Ong's framework (2011) about the errors in using conjunction: misuse, unnecessary addition, omission, and repetition of conjunction. The results describe the condition of the students: they overgeneralized the use of coordinating; they also lacked understanding in terms of sentence construction due to limited knowledge of particular conjunctions and the function of coordinating conjunctions, which led to the incomplete application of rules in sentences. A comprehensive explanation of conjunction is needed when teaching writing to students. The students should clearly understand each function of conjunction to produce a meaningful text. Some limitations are provided along with suggested directions for future research to get a deeper and wider perspective in a similar context. Keywords: Recount text; conjunction; error analysis; sentence construction

Detecting the corruption of online questionnaires by artificial intelligence.

Online questionnaires that use crowdsourcing platforms to recruit participants have become commonplace, due to their ease of use and low costs. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based large language models (LLMs) have made it easy for bad actors to automatically fill in online forms, including generating meaningful text for open-ended tasks. These technological advances threaten the data quality for studies that use online questionnaires. This study tested whether text generated by an AI for the purpose of an online study can be detected by both humans and automatic AI detection systems. While humans were able to correctly identify the authorship of such text above chance level (76% accuracy), their performance was still below what would be required to ensure satisfactory data quality. Researchers currently have to rely on a lack of interest among bad actors to successfully use open-ended responses as a useful tool for ensuring data quality. Automatic AI detection systems are currently completely unusable. If AI submissions of responses become too prevalent, then the costs associated with detecting fraudulent submissions will outweigh the benefits of online questionnaires. Individual attention checks will no longer be a sufficient tool to ensure good data quality. This problem can only be systematically addressed by crowdsourcing platforms. They cannot rely on automatic AI detection systems and it is unclear how they can ensure data quality for their paying clients.

Deep learning-based information retrieval with normalized dominant feature subset and weighted vector model

Multimedia data, which includes textual information, is employed in a variety of practical computer vision applications. More than a million new records are added to social media and news sites every day, and the text content they contain has gotten increasingly complex. Finding a meaningful text record in an archive might be challenging for computer vision researchers. Most image searches still employ the tried and true language-based techniques of query text and metadata. Substantial work has been done in the past two decades on content-based text retrieval and analysis that still has limitations. The importance of feature extraction in search engines is often overlooked. Web and product search engines, recommendation systems, and question-answering activities frequently leverage these features. Extracting high-quality machine learning features from large text volumes is a challenge for many open-source software packages. Creating an effective feature set manually is a time-consuming process, but with deep learning, new actual feature demos from training data are analyzed. As a novel feature extraction method, deep learning has made great strides in text mining. Automatically training a deep learning model with the most pertinent text attributes requires massive datasets with millions of variables. In this research, a Normalized Dominant Feature Subset with Weighted Vector Model (NDFS-WVM) is proposed that is used for feature extraction and selection for information retrieval from big data using natural language processing models. The suggested model outperforms the conventional models in terms of text retrieval. The proposed model achieves 98.6% accuracy in information retrieval.

Implementation Open Artificial Intelligence ChattGPT Integrated With Whatsapp Bot

The rapid development of internet technology has led to changes in human habits interms of seeking information. Now humans have a tendency to use smartphones to find information, especially by using the WhatsApp application. According to data compiled by creative agency we are social in 2023. Whatsapp is in the top position of the most used application, reaching 92%. Artificial intelligence is used as a tool to create remote services to customers because there are no restrictions on working time and can only be accessed using a smartphone. GPT (Generative Pre-training Transformer) chat technology has the ability to answer questions, as well as understand the context of the conversation and generate meaningful text like a remote conversation with humans. ChattGPT can provide information to users with these capabilities, especially in terms of health. In the research there is an integration process between Chattgpt and Whattsapp, by entering the API (Application Programming Interface) key Chattgpt into Whattsapp with the help of javascript programming language. So that the artificial intelligence system using ChattGPT can be implemented on whattapp.

The development of comparative Jewish hermeneutics of the Gospel of Matthew

The article examines the historical development of comparative Jewish hermeneutic studies of the Gospel of Matthew starting with the 17th century. The research pays special attention to the stages of formation, to obstacles and their overcoming, and to the nature of the development of comparative works. It introduces a comparison of two parallel traditions in these studies — Christian and Jewish. The main methodological approaches of Christian and Jewish scholars come from historical criticism and philology. They transcend religious boundaries and bring academicism to comparative studies. However, later historical criticism leads to a delay in the development of comparative Jewish studies due to the problems of anachronism, since rabbinic literature originates several hundred years after the New Testament, and therefore is not suitable for synchronous comparison. Another obstacle to the development of comparative analysis poses the philological principle of only one textual meaning. Jewish hermeneutics presupposes many meanings of the sacred text, which contradicts the principle of a single meaning. A revolutionary breakthrough in comparative Jewish hermeneutics occurs in the middle of the 20th century, thanks to the use of a literary approach that is not bound by the strict rules of historical criticism and the philological principle of a single meaning. Renee Bloch suggests the use of Rabbinic literature for the study of Christian and intertestamental literature, and even of the Bible itself, even though such a comparison is anachronistic. The cultural approach helps to see the uniqueness of the cultural contribution of the exegete and to overcome religious obstacles to comparative research. The article suggests a comparative Jewish hermeneutics of the Christmas story of the Gospel of Matthew.

TRANSPOZICIJA KATEGORIJALNE SEME U SUPSTANDARDNIM DEKOMPOZITIMA SRPSKOG JEZIKA

In this study, individualisms in the journalistic genre of columns were analyzed from the lexical-semantic and formative aspects. Sources of the emergence of individual lexicon, its textual meaning, and its pragmatic components are presented, considering that the majority of individualisms represent vocabulary with connotative expressiveness. The study demon- strates that realized individualisms arise through semantic derivation or in productive and non-productive formative processes in the Serbian language. It is highlighted that these indi- vidualisms predominantly consist of units with high and increased levels of negative expres- siveness, directed towards the negative evaluation of political public and society as a political actor. Besides contributing to tracking lexical trends in contemporary public discourse, this paper also adds to the genre determination of the column on the lexical level.

Животъ, житиуе и жизнь в Учителното евангелие на Константин Преславски

In the article the use of the three lexemes for ‘life’ in Constantine of Preslav’s Didactic Gospel from the end of the 9th is analysed. The focus lies on their distribution, especially considering their contextual meaning. The systemised data are compared to those of the SJS and of the First Epistle against the Arians translated by the same Constantine. It is established that the Didactic Gospel – unlike the early Slavonic texts included in the Prague dictionary that show a higher degree of variation in the correlations between lexeme and meaning, but also unlike the First Epistle against the Arians, where жизнь dominates – presents a rather clear lexico-semantic differentiation in the translation correlates for Greek ζωή: for life as opposed to death животъ is used, for earthly life it is житиуе, and жизнь for eternal life. The distribution of the synonyms in the Didactic Gospel coincides to a large degree with that described in general diachronic analyses. This tendency may be observed in both the translated and the original parts of the Didactic Gospel, deviations occurring mainly in biblical quotations, probably due to the direct influence of the well-known sacred text. The material analysed shows that Constantine of Preslav understood very well the semantics of the words used in the language of the original, but also the semantic nuances of closely related words in the target language and used them according to the textual meaning.

Do gifted children without specific learning disabilities read more efficiently than typically developing children?

There are no published data on the written language skills of gifted children (GC). The objective of the present study was to evaluate reading abilities of GC vs. normative data from typically developing French children (TDC). Like English, French is considered to be an opaque language. GC completed the Wechsler Intelligence Scales and a battery of language tests. Only children with a score two standard deviations (SD) above the norm were included. GC with current or past academic difficulties or specific learning disorders were excluded. The GC's scores were compared with TDC's normative scores for language tests in a chi-square-test and corrected for multiple comparisons. Forty-five GC were included. The highest GC's mean scores were for the WISC's Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI) and the lowest for the Processing Speed Index (from more than two SDs to one SD higher above the TDC's normative scores). GC were between 1.3 and 4.7 times more likely than TDC to achieve a high score. After correction, the distributions of the GC's and TDC's scores differed significantly with regard to spoonerism, phoneme deletion, and rapid automatic naming (p < 0.001), word and sentence repetition (p ≤ 0.007), and the reading of meaningful text (p = 0.03). GC and TDC did not differ significantly for reading meaningless texts and spelling accuracy. As described in the literature, the GC in the present study had heterogeneous scores on the Wechsler Intelligence Scales. The GC performed better than TDC in assessments of the underlying skills of reading and when reading of meaningful texts. This advantage was lost in the absence of context, as shown by the lack of significant GC vs. TDC differences for reading meaningless texts and for spelling accuracy. Hence, GC presented a heterogeneous profile with regard to the underlying skills of reading and reading abilities. The present data should help to improve our understanding of GC's reading skills. In particular, it is now essential to determine which written language tests and which score thresholds are appropriate for identifying specific learning disorders in GC.

THE TRANSLATION OF THEMES FROM ENGLISH INTO VIETNAMESE: THE CASE OF THE AMERICAN NOVEL “TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD” AND THE VIETNAMESE TRANSLATION “GIẾT CON CHIM NHẠI”

This paper attempts to examine how Themes in English are translated into Vietnamese. The data for the study are taken from the novel ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ written by the eminent American novelist Harper Lee and the Vietnamese version ‘Giết con chim nhại’ translated by two Vietnamese translators Huỳnh Kim Oanh and Phạm Viêm Phương. The theoretical framework employed in the study is Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). The unit of analysis is independent major clause simplexes in the source text (ST) and their corresponding major independent clause simplexes in the target text (TT). The aspects of analysis and comparison are simple and multiple Themes in declarative, imperative and interrogative clause simplexes. The study shows that most Themes in English clause simplexes are closely translated and retained as Themes in corresponding Vietnamese clause simplexes. The study also indicates that there are a number of translation shifts which are partly due to the differences in clause structure of English and Vietnamese, partly due to the semantic complexity (ambiguity) of some ST question words, and partly due to the translators’ negligence of the role of Theme and its delicate choices in constructing textual meaning in the clause and developing meaning in the texts. It is clear from the study that SFL is highly relevant to translation theory and translation practice: It can stand to benefit the translator from analysis of the ST, to discussion of translation problems, to explanation for establishment of points of translation equivalence and translation shift between the choices in the TT and those in the ST, and to synthesis of the TT – the final product of the translation process.

From biblical texts to Balinese paintings

The intersemiotic translation is defined as the interpretation of linguistics signs by means of non-verbal resources. This study aims to investigate the intersemiotic translation of linguistic texts” The Parable of the Ten Virgins” into an image system of Balinese Paintings made by Christian artist Nyoman Darsane. The approach applied in this study is derived from multimodal social semiotic theory in accordance to Halliday’s Systemic Functional Theory (SFT). The source of data is biblical texts which were taken from the New International Version of the Parable of the Ten Virgins of Matthew 25 verse 1 until 13 and its intersemiotic translation in the form Balinese painting. The result of analysis has demonstrated that the metafunctions principle of the different semiotic systems which in this case is texts and painting have complementary and compounding meaning to each other in all levels of meaning including experiential, interpersonal, and textual meanings. Even though there are some untranslated keys of information in those levels of meaning as there are omission strategy implemented from source text to the target image for various reasons such as presenting only essential information.

Contextual Meanings of Similarities in Âşık Veysel’s Poems

Analysis of the signs used in the language of poetry means bringing what the poet wants to say from the deep structure to the surface structure. Poetry is the art of bringing signs together accurately and artistically. What this means is that the desired emotion of the poem is conveyed by bringing the chosen language elements together harmoniously. These language elements which come together form the framework of the poetic language with the semantic bonds they create with each other. The concept of "context" determines how all the words that make up the poem will come together. The language used in poetry is a tool for the poet. While using language as a tool, the poet will want to convey their thoughts and feelings to the reader through context. However, it’s not possible for them to go out of context while doing this. The concept of word, which corresponds to a sign in language, cannot be separated from the context. Words must be in a consecutive order to form a meaningful text sequence because the signs in language are linear. When using language, sounds and words are placed one after the other. When the words connect to each other, a meaningful relationship will arise between them. As a result of this meaningful relationship, contextual meanings emerge. In this study, the contextual meanings of the metaphors identified in Âşık Veysel's poems are explained through tables. Before moving on to the review section, brief information and examples are given about the concepts of sign/referent/context.

Conceptual Blending in Indian Political Cartoon Discourse

Conceptual blending theory has been used by scholars to study various genres of texts. Scholars studying cartoons in particular have used it to study how metaphors and metaphorical blending are used in cartoons to construct meaningful texts. This paper studies selected Indian political cartoons using the Conceptual Blending Theory of Fauconnier and Turner. The themes of the cartoons chosen for the study focused on various social issuesthat were part of the media discourse in contemporary times. The study was conducted to understand how cartoons depicting social issues used metaphoric blending to visualise an issue. The paper found that the graphic form of the political cartoon mediates the understanding of a communicative event through the use of cognitive devices like metaphoric blends. It was found that novel metaphoric blends were created in a cartoon text depending on the nature of the issue and that these metaphorical blends are regulated by context and background knowledge regarding the event being represented. It was also observed that the novelty of metaphoric blends in Indian editorial cartoons depended on the social, political and cultural context. Meanwhile, the metaphoric blends also draw into it everyday objects and scenarios that structure the meaning potential of the political cartoon. Another relevant finding is regarding how certain cartoon texts had more than one conceptual blend, forming a network of blends that worked in conjunction with each other. Furthermore, it was observed how conceptual blends in cartoons aided in anchoring the meaning of the cartoon and prevented polysemic confusion. The findings of the research prove that cognitive devices are prevalent in cartoon texts and could significantly direct their interpretation and use.

Dialect in the Making

Within the framework of third-wave sociolinguistic research, Asif Agha’s (2003) theory of enregisterment has proved a successful approach to explore the mechanisms that lead to the indexical connection between language and identity. Beal (2009, 2020), Cooper (2013, 2020), and Ruano-García (2012, 2020, 2021), among others, have investigated this phenomenon from a diachronic perspective. They have highlighted the value of dialect writing as a window into the main features associated with particular dialects, as it draws upon authenticating practices such as the use of dialect respellings, which not only signal salient phonological features, but also link them to wider schemes of sociocultural values and identities. This paper seeks to add to this field of research by looking at literary representations of Derbyshire speech (1850–1900) through the lens of enregisterment. My aims are twofold: I attempt to (1) shed light on the main phonological features of the Derbyshire dialect, while (2) determining how this variety was enregistered in the Late Modern English period, and whether meaningful text type-dependent indexical shifts might have affected the way in which this dialect was understood and thus represented by native and non-native speakers.

Yan Zhao Folk Art: Challenges and Future Perspectives

Yan-Zhao folk art is an indispensable part of Chinese traditional culture and plays an important role in inheriting Chinese culture. The translation work of it is also crucial. This article briefly introduces the Yan-Zhao culture, as well as the developing history of Yan-Zhao paper-cutting and tea art, and introduces the characteristics of these two folk arts. It also looks the translation situation of these two folk arts, mainly focusing on the plight and challenges they faced in translation. Through case analysis, some difficulties in translation work can be identified, such as the difficulty of translating unique cultural symbols, significant differences between Chinese and foreign cultures, and the difficulty in conveying the implicit content of folk culture and art. It aims to raise awareness among learners about these issues and propose methods to address these challenges. In order to improve the translation of this type of folk art, the article explores the opportunities that can be seized in the current translation of folk arts, aiming to combine these opportunities with ideas and suggestions for solving translation problems. Finally, the article concludes that when translating content with cultural features, translators can deepen their understanding of their own culture, select appropriate foreign language vocabulary for translation, and utilize tools such as the internet and artificial intelligence to better derive translation solutions, ensuring accurate conveyance of the original text's meaning and achieving effective cross-cultural communication.

Visual recontextualisation of meaning in science research articles and News and Views articles

News and Views articles appear in Nature-branded journals, summarising and critiquing newly published studies. Written by experts outside the research team, they inform the wider scientific community of novel research, promoting a broader readership as well as cross-fertilisation between fields. Most studies of genres that recontextualise science research articles for a broader audience focus on textual meaning. This article prioritises visual meaning, comparing News and Views articles and research articles. Corpora of research articles and News and Views articles were analysed using social semiotic analysis (Kress &amp; van Leeuwen, 2021); interviews with expert authors of the articles also inform the investigation. Drawing on Daston and Galison (2007), a three-way categorisation was made of conceptual, technologically-produced and mathematical images. Findings reveal that visual meaning is central in both genres. In research articles detailed and exact meaning is conveyed using graphs and technologically-produced images (e.g., microscope images). News and Views articles use accessible, conceptual images such as schematic diagrams. Research article writers reported planning the article around the images, which function to validate author claims; as readers, experts reported examining images before reading the article. In News and Views articles, the image provides a conceptual overview of the text, matching the genre’s purpose in facilitating understanding of a complex study.

Sadaqah in the Light of Prophetic Hadiths

This paper discusses the asbāb al-wurūd of the hadith about charity not being limited to wealth alone. This hadith needs to be known and studied because some human beings are still stereotyped that charity can only be done with property. Understanding that ignores the asbāb al-wurūd. Usually, many are trapped in textual meanings that encourage misunderstanding. This paper analyzes the hadith about almsgiving using a qualitative method with the takhrij, sharah, and asbāb al-wurūd hadith approach. This research also uses the Library Research method to explore more in-depth information. This research found several essential points, including that charity for materially capable people can be replaced by reciting ṭayyibah sentences (al-ḥamd lillāh, Allāh Akbar, Subhān Allah, and the sentence Lā ilāha Illa Allāh) or by pointing to the good and forbidding the bad. This aligns with the Hadith narrated by Imam Muslim with Index No. 1006. Besides that, it turns out that sadaqah has many benefits, one of which can reduce liver disease that clots inside.
