Read More This study is an attempt to present a theoretical framework for evaluation of poetic plagiarism. The study essentially dressed on what basis plagiarism can be spotted and how appropriation can be evaluated. The study is an analytical-comparative one. The analytical section of the study proposed a method and framework for determining whether a poetic work could be marked with plagiarism, and the comparative section applied the proposed framework in practice. a brief review of the literature on poetic plagiarism in Arabic rhetorical tradition was presented. It was shown that Al-Jurjᾱni has sporadically discussed poetic plagiarism besides elaborating his ‘theory of nadhm’ and has applied a systematic method for analyzing the relationship between poems which has not received attention thereafter. Then Al-Jurjᾱni’s method was compared with the method utilized by the Russian formalists in their analysis of the historical relationship between poems. The comparison showed that the formalist approach in the 20th century used an analytical method similar to Al-Jurjᾱni’s. A new theoretical framework was proposed based on the common principles of these approaches for determining whether a poem was plagiarized. It was accordingly argued that plagiarism can be determined neither based on similarity of contents nor similarity of the common aesthetics, but rather based on the common features that the poetic works have regarding application of new aesthetics. Having proven that one poetic work was appropriated by another based on the proposed method, the was assessed to see what role the common aesthetics played in composition of each of the poetic forms since it is the aesthetics which mirrors the relationship between the poems in creation of their forms. That being the case, it was shown that a comparison of the functions carried out by the common aesthetics in formation of each poem can indicate how the former poem led to plagiarism in the latter. At the end, a comparative analysis was carried out based on the proposed method to show the different kinds of plagiarism in poetry.

Read More Revived the ancient literature and referring to the culture and history in contemporary poetry and its modern employing is one of the techniques of contemporary Arab poets that has a special occasion with the literary theory “intertextual”. Wahab al-Bayati is one of the poets of the culture and literature of the Arabs ignorant who has used his poetry. This analytic approach to literary expression Bayati's poetry has generally ignorant of the meaning of culture and literature, poetry, myths, ideas, customs, proverbs and declared places that are depicted in the poem. The findings of the present study is that some of the Sakha and forgive the ignorant Arab customs, some of their ideas as "arrogant Albian" in some ways a poem like "The Atlal conscious" and places mentioned in the announcement, some multiplication Bayati's poetry has found expression in poetry and the ignorant proverb and in most cases, the experience of the poem, and poet associated with the deployment has been successful ignorant and rude. The most striking aspect of this link, wandering in deserts and separation from the beloved poet is ignorant Bayati life experiences as a poet wandering away from her lover (native) has to interact. Among the poets ignorant, Bayati most attention Tarafeh Ben Alabd has left behind is like wandering life. In fact, Bayati has been able to reveal the culture of Jaheli as an Arab heritage in contemporary poetry, and revive some of Jaheli’s culture and customs in his poetry. Referring to the ignorance and prejudice of Arabs in Jaheli era, he uses the Jaheli's wars to eliminate contemporary prejudices from the thoughts of the readers, thus pointing to the crushing (grinding) of the people in under the rubble of these wars. The poet also intends to keep alive some ethical issues such as loyalty, forgiveness so that modernity does not separate the Arab from its past, which in its belief has been brilliant in the past.

A Postcolonial Study of The Algerian Trilogy (The Big House, The Fire, and The Loom) by Mohammed Dib

Volume 12, Issue 2 , July 2020, , Pages 85-107

Read More The Algerian Trilogy by Mohammed Dib, a renowned Algerian writer, is one of the most recognized literary works of the contemporary literature of his country. It provides the reader with an objective perspective of the Algerian society in the years leading up to the Independence. In each of the novels, the writer focuses on one aspect of the life in the society. He gives the reader a viewpoint of the consequences of the French colonialism in everyday living status of the Algerians in cities, the countryside, and the industrial section in The Big House, The Fire, and The Loom respectively. In order to answer the critical questions pertaining to the postcolonial elements of the novels, this research extracts and analyzes the key concepts of postcolonial theory and criticism reflected in them. Furthermore, it attempts to evaluate the specific mechanisms used by the author to develop a postcolonial image. Thus, the article sets to study the novels’ multiple narrative and its impact on the embodiment of colonial and postcolonial atmosphere in Algeria, the power relations between the master and the slave under French colonialism, the colonial double-standard policies, resistance, and internalized racism. By doing so, it demonstrates that The Algerian Trilogy, with its multi-level narrative and naturalistic approach, challenges the false, superficial message of colonialism as to bringing civilization and modernity to Algeria, and reveals the true negative side of French colonialism. It argues that the master/ slave dichotomy is present in many scenes of all three novels, categorizing the characters into two groups: the dominant and the subaltern. Yet, some of the characters show conscious resistance by their focus on local elements of the Algerian culture and by their display of interest in Arabic language. In other words, the writer goes beyond the stereotype of sheer defiance and portrays cultural and linguistic resistance.

Abstract

Read More The breaking of the fantasy world with reality, the breaking of the boundary between writer and reader, and in general the breakdown of narrative brought about by postmodern literature, led to the formation of a special form of narrative in the postmodern novel called metanarrative. In this way, the author distances himself from the usual methods in the classic novel and creates an innovative and norm-breaking work that contradicts the well-known definitions of the novel. In this type of novel writing, the author's interaction with the narrator, character, narrative text and linguistic aspect is completely different, and all elements of the novel evoke deep social conditions and developments. What attracts attention in the meantime is the turn of Arab novelists to this method in the early years of the emergence and spread of this method in European novels. Considering the speed of modernity in the last decades of the twentieth century in Arab countries and also the compatibility of this narrative style with classical Arabic literature in which there is a living relationship between the narrator and the narrator and usually the narrator tends to hide in the story. No, this method was taken into consideration. A closer look at the history of the evolution of Arabic novelism in the last decades of the twentieth century shows the use of this method by anonymous writers whose literary position in academic and narrative research has been neglected, including the melodic melody of the Maghreb writer. In Ain al-Fars novel, this method is innovative and systematic. In this article, using the most important theoretical sources on the method of metanarrative, an attempt is made to examine the most important components of metanarrative and how it is used in this novel. The result shows that Shagham in this short novel, by creating mechanisms such as the entry of the author or narrator in the work, communication with the narrator and the fusion of reality and fantasy or storytelling, as well as the use of storytelling industries, try to create a metanarrative process. Is trained.

Imperative-Didactic Speech Acts in Mourid Barghouti’s Novel I Saw Ramallah

Read More Speech act theory is one of the well-known theories in applied linguistics. By considering language in the context of human acts, it reveals what is left unsaid in the text and enables us to arrive at an interpretation of it. Based on this theory, one does not merely use words and sentences to communicate a meaning, but commits acts which are called speech acts. I saw Ramallah is an autobiographical novel by Mourid Barghouti, a Palestinian poet and writer. The events of the novel revolve around his return to Ramallah and Deir Ghassana after thirty years of exile to European and Arab countries. The article highlights and analyzes imperative-didactic speech acts of the novel in order to determine the author’s purpose in using them. The importance of the research is evident in the fact that the novel contains emotional speech acts contained in interrogative speech acts in order to express the plight of Palestinians and their resistance against the Zionists. The research argues that two kinds of interrogative speech acts are used in the novel: direct and indirect. The direct speech acts are used by the characters in order to acquire information. The indirect speech acts, however, are used by the writer in accordance with the societal circumstances to express his goals. They are mostly used to express denial, anger, scolding, ridicule, sadness, regret, and surprise upon seeing what has happened and is happening to Ramallah. This type of speech act is prevalent in the novel since it is the most effective in expressing the writer’s intentions and it highlights the communicative aspects of language, which are convincing, encouraging, and affecting the interlocutor. Thus, the writer uses indirect speech acts to reveal his psychological state, as he wants to influence the reader and stir the feelings of the Arab and Islamic nation so that they realize the issue of the Palestinian people and the right that is taken from them by the Zionists.

Read More .The term "Feminine writing" implies that women''''s writing has its unique discourse compared to men. linguists have acknowledged the differences in writing styles between men and women and provided components for each. Feminist critics ask whether there is a female language or not? In this regard, Sarah Mills'''' feminist stylistics book offers a model for data analysis that explores the three levels of vocabulary, syntax, and discourse. And by referring to the works of linguists and researchers in the field of sociology of language as well as the views of feminists, he emphasizes the linguistic analysis of women''''s works and proposes the method of analyzing women''''s fictional works. This research uses analytical-descriptive method in the framework of Sarah Mills’ feminist stylistics theory to examine how the characteristics of feminism are manifested in the novel "Al-Aswad Yaliq Beck" written by Ahlam Mostaghani Algerian writer. Considering that Mills believes that female writers use different language options in the structure and content of their works in the field of female emotions and characteristics, which should be done in these three levels of analysis in language analysis. We intend to examine these characteristics in the selected novel and determine to what extent these components exist and whether the desired pattern has been followed or not. Also, based on this framework, we identify the cases that indicate the feminine writing style of the author of the novel and explore them sentence by sentence. The research findings indicate that the components of Ahlam Mostaghanami''''s female writing are evident in this selected work using the following: - In the lexical layer: Use of words belonging to the field of women has a low frequency, There is no feminine reliance, curses, or mild emotional words but there are taboo words. Limited to repeat certain colors such as black, white, red, gold, silver and purple. Among these, the most frequent is the adjective "black" - In the syntactic layer: The description of the events is given in detail and this component has a high frequency, Most sentences are short, consecutive and very high frequency. Question sentences in the form of monologue are widely used, Extralinguistic signs ellipsis (...) has the most frequent symptoms and the dash has a very low frequency. In the discourse layer: third person and the narrator has used the inner monologue. The main axis, action and dialogue of the novel refer to women, and feminist thoughts are the concerns of the author of the novel.
