Animal-Based Metaphors as Being a Lingua-Cultural Way in the Field of Football Club Titles: Зооморфная метафора как лингвокультурологический способ в области прозвищ футбольных клубов
...Show More Authors

 

       Metaphor is a linguistic phenomenon related to people's cultures. It is an integral part of cultural heritage. This paper tackles the use of animal-based metaphors in the field of football club titles so as to draw comparisons between those in Russian with their counterparts in Arabic. Names of animals are used to refer to some clubs and teams, where these names or titles reflect animal features such as strength, preying on victims; or animal figures are employed in the club symbols, or due to the similarity of the club shirt to the animal outer shapes in colours. For instance, "an-Nawaris", which means gulls in English, is used to refer to az-Zawraa club due to the identity in colours of both the outer colours of the birds and the club shirt, and to the way players celebrate their scoring goals. "Suqoor" also, which means hawks in English, refers to the Air Force club; it agrees with the symbol of club, since a hawk is sharp-sighted and is able prey on victims instantly. As for "thiaabul-sahree", which means in English desert wolves, is related to ar-Ramadi Club, and symbolizes the players to having the ability to prey on the other teams at home-playground, and to over well-established teams. As for "Usoodul-hAasimah", which means lions of the capital-city, it is associated with Baghdad Club. The team thereof has the characteristics of lions in respect to strength and bravery, along with well-done goal defense. Titles employing animal names are often used in Arab, African and European Countries, as well as in the media. They add to the beauty and understanding of the texts.

Аннотация

     Метафора является одним из важнейших языковых феноменов, тесно связанных с культурой народов и ставших неотъемлемой частью наследия цивилизации. Данная статья посвящена употреблению Зооморфных метафор в системе прозвищ футбольных клубов, их употребление в  обеих языках и сравнение этих прозвищ между русским и арабским языками. Сборные и футбольные команды называются в честь определенных животных, символизирующих силу, хищность или символизируют герб клуба и сходство цвета формы команды с внешностью животного, например, Чайки – это прозвище принадлежит к футбольному клубу «Аль-Завраа». Это название взялось в совпадении цвета игровой футболки команды и полёт этих птиц похож на празднование футболистов этого клуба после забитого гола. Соколы – это прозвище футбольного клуба «Аль-Куа Аль- Джавия», принадлежащий к военно-воздушной авиации. Название означает острое зрение сокола и быстро нападает на животных. Волки пустыни – Это прозвище футбольного клуба «эр-Рамади». Это название символизирует о том, что футболисты этого клуба хищные и они играют дома сильно и выиграют всех футбольных клубов также ведущих Ирака. Львы столицы – это прозвище принадлежит к футбольному клубу «Багдад ». Это команда носит название столицы Ирака – Багдад. Команда имеет характера льва и отличается это команда силой и храбрости и крепкой защитой.

Зооморфные прозвища используются больше всего в арабских странах, и в Африке и в Европе и как метафора в СМИ. Зооморфные прозвища украсят речь и тексты и сделают образ более понятным.

...Show More Authors

Media studies have focused mostly on the issue of the mental image because the image that is formed in the mind has become not only a photo of a human being and having kept for himself. This image has an outside influence which may sometimes up to the formation of the fate of others and it sometimes includes individuals and groups together.
This study comes in the context of identifying the image of Iraqi political parties among Iraqi university students and the nature of the view that students have in their minds about these parties.
Chapter one includes the problem of the research, the importance of the study, the goals and method used. Chapter two is divided into two sections: section one deals with the concept of the mental i

Consumers’ Perceptions and Attitudes toward Products Preventing Microfiber Pollution in Aquatic Environments as a Result of the Domestic Washing of Synthetic Clothes
...Show More Authors

Microfibers released by synthetic clothes have a significant negative effect on the environment. Several solutions have been proposed and evaluated for their effectiveness, but studies have failed to address the human-centered aspects of these products. In this research, the possibilities and needs from a consumer perspective for a new filtering system for domestic washing machines were examined. First, a quantitative (questionnaire) and a qualitative (interviews and observations) exploration were done to understand the desired requirements from a user perspective. Next, the acceptance of various existing solutions for microfiber catching was investigated. To verify these requirements, a new concept was designed and evaluated with a

Computer Simulations of Imaging a Dirac Delta Function by a Ground-Based Optical Telescope
...Show More Authors

Two- dimensional numerical simulations are carried out to study the elements of observing a Dirac point source and a Dirac binary system. The essential features of this simulation are demonstrated in terms of the point spread function and the modulation transfer function. Two mathematical equations have been extracted to present, firstly the relationship between the radius of optical telescope and the distance between the central frequency and cut-off frequency of the optical telescope, secondly the relationship between the radius of the optical telescope and the average frequency components of the modulation transfer function.

Structural Behavior of Concrete One-Way Slab with Mixed Reinforcement of Steel and Glass Fiber Polymer Bars under Fire Exposure
...Show More Authors

Steel Reinforced Concrete (RC) frequently faces durability problems. In certain areas, Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rebars are considered a non-corrodible substitute for steel reinforcement. Elevated temperatures have a significant impact on the mechanical characteristics and the adhesiveness of GFRP rebars to concrete, particularly when the polymeric matrix's glass transition temperature is approached or surpassed. Three simply supported reinforced concrete slabs were considered in the experimental program. Each specimen had identical dimensions of 1500×540×120 mm. For the fire resistance requirements, a 45 mm clear concrete cover and an exception of a 200 mm unexposed (cool) anchor zone at the ends were considered. The

A Social Semiotic Analysis of Instagram as a Multimodal Platform for Supporting EFL Learners
...Show More Authors

Social media has become an essential educational tool nowadays. Most existing research on digital learning in EFL contexts has primarily focused on traditional classroom-based instruction and less attention has been paid to social media platforms. The present study aims to fill the gap by using social semiotics to analyze four Instagram posts: two from BBC Learning English (@bbclearningenglish) and the other two from Learn English with Emma (@englishwithemma). Instagram posts are classified as multimodal texts with participatory and representational elements. The study adopts Kress and van Leeuwen’s (2005) Social Semiotic Multimodal Framework to analyze four purposely selected posters by answering the following research questions
