The title has a crucial role in a literal text. Writers thoroughly deal with it because the title is the initial point where the reading of the text begins. Readers construct their standpoints on the text according to the title; in other words, this standpoint, which always comes into existence from the title, makes them read the text. Gerard Genette, who was a thinker, theorist, and critic, has given the title some duties in texts. In this research, we have identified those duties to analyze the titles of some of Jalal Malaksha’s texts; moreover, he was one of those poets who had cautiously chosen the titles of his texts.

The use of social networks, including Snapchat, has become a daily routine for many individuals in society and is used for many different purposes. If it is used by citizens to send messages and pictures, celebrities also use it for advertising purposes for different brands. This study is a descriptive study that used a survey form to collect data with the aim of finding out the motives that make the participants watch celebrity advertisements on Snapchat. It also examined the role of celebrity advertisements posted on Snapchat in citizens' choices and purchases of a product. As a result, although the use of Snapchat is particularly high among respondents (media technical students), the type of advertising and the use of celebrities in advertisements does not play as much a role in customer choice as price and brand type.

The research employs a descriptive methodology, utilizing visual analysis of images as a prominent tool, recognized widely for its efficacy in dissecting media content. Consequently, a series of tables were meticulously crafted to serve as units for scrutinizing the techniques employed in these films.

Ultimately, the research yielded several findings, foremost among them being the observation that the majority of these films, classified according to Bill Nichols’s taxonomy, predominantly manifest in three modes: expository, observational, and interactive, albeit in a limited percentage.

Sonia Faruq Hasib, Soran Badawi — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This study explored Kurdish EFL learners’ attitudes toward using smartphone applications for language learning. The data collection instrument was a five-point Likert-Scale questionnaire and the population was (101) students from departments of Medical Laboratory Science, General Science, and Chemistry Science – Charmo University. The results showed that the learners generally have a positive attitude towards using smartphone applications for English language learning. Also, the results suggest that learners generally agree that smartphone applications are useful and accessible tool for language learning. Regarding social media applications, the results indicated that learners who use social media platforms generally look for language-learning content. Nonetheless, the findings demonstrated that higher utilization of smartphone applications may not be necessarily associated with a perceived gain in proficiency. Consequently, language teachers must lead and assist students in learning how to utilize applications in general and those specifically created for language learning in particular. Therefore, EFL teachers’ roles change from manager to facilitator. It is the teacher’s responsibility to assist students in locating suitable material on the internet, which leads to mastery of the target language.

Language Conventions of Kurdish Scientific Books in the Context of Scientific Translation between English and Kurdish

Daban Mohammed Haji, Umed Qadir Muhammad Ameen — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This paper explores the language conventions of Kurdish Scientific Books (KSBs) within the context of scientific translation between English and Central Kurdish. The study analyses five KSBs to investigate their language characteristics, including clarity, precision, formality, use of terminology, style and so forth. The current study utilizes Lambert and van Gorp’s (1985/2006) four-step scheme for analysing and describing the KSBs. The findings reveal that KSBs generally employ clear and precise language, maintain objectivity and formality, and make use of nominalization and scientific terminology. The KSBs generally favour incomplete sentences in titles and figures, and, in the body of the sections and chapters, prefer long sentences and active voice and avoid direct quotations, abbreviations, acronyms, and personal pronouns. They also incorporate English loanwords and terms to fill lexical lacunae, indicating the influence of the English scientific language. This research accordingly sheds light on the language conventions of KSBs and their potential similarities to the English scientific language.
