L’Unité descriptive dans le roman Une Vie de Maupassant
...Show More Authors

La description, est une mode discursive et une forme d’écriture, consiste à rendre un objet en quelque sorte visible par l’exposition vive et animé des propriétés et des circonstances les plus intéressantes.

Elle occupe au XIXe ([1]) siècle une place centrale dans les œuvres littéraires. Cette technique a une place privilégiée chez les écrivains qui veulent représenter la vie telle quelle est.

Ce type de la représentation littéraire apparaît avec l’avènement du roman réaliste où se trouve de longs passages descriptifs dans les œuvres littéraires « Tout récit comporte…, quoique intimement mêlées et en proportions très vari

Pragmatic Presupposition: An ExtraLinguisitic Concept
...Show More Authors

Presupposition, which indicates a prior assumption, is a vital notion in both semantic and pragmatic disciplines. It refers to assumptions implicitly made by interlocutors, which are necessary for the correct interpretation of an utterance. Although there is a general agreement that presupposition is a universal property of Language, there are various propositions concerning its nature. However, this research work proposes that presupposition is a contextual term, thus, is more pragmatic than semantic in its nature.Although Semantics and Pragmatics are two distinct disciplines, they are interrelated and complementary to each other, since meaning proper involves both, and since there is no clear borderline between the two disciplines.

Semantics of the Russian Verbs of Destruction in Contemporary Linguistics: Семантический Анализ Глаголов Деструкции Русского Языка В Современной Лингвистике
...Show More Authors

The article states that the Russian verbs of destruction belong to the lexical-semantic group of physical impact. They include verbs with the meaning of “damage” and “destroy”. It is emphasized that each of these groups is relatively independent; the cut line between them is fuzzy and arbitrary. It is postulated that when the object is completely destroyed, then the verb has the meaning of “destruction”,  and when the object is partially destroyed, then the  verb has the meaning of “damage”. It is this feature that individualizes the meaning of verbs. The study distinguishes between the groups and the nature of the object as- animate / inanimate. The object of the action of the “destruction” can only be inan

The role of presupposition in the interpretation of the Qur'anic letters (Sharif Morteza, Mullah Sadra and Gonabadi): بررسی تأثیر پیش فهم‌ها بر فهم مفسران از حروف مقطعه در قرآن (شریف مرتضی، ملاصدرا و گنابادی)
...Show More Authors

The mysterious letters, the philosophy of existence and the meaning of these letters in the Qur'an is one of the mysterious issues that has always occupied the minds of Interpreters. Each Interpreter has tried to provide his own interpretation and understanding of these mysterious letters. Since these letters are part of the surah of the Qur'an and at the same time, the appearance of these letters, unlike other verses, does not indicate meaning, the commentators have approached these verses with their preconceptions. In this article, an attempt has been made to investigate the role of pre-interpreters of descriptors in a descriptive and analytical method in finding the meaning of syllables. However, each of them has tried to interpret th

MCD (LOS MARCADORES DISCURSIVOS) The pragmatic analysis of discourse markers (The argumentative texts of the ABC newspaper as a model): El análisis pragmático de los marcadores discursivos (Los textos argumentativos del periódico ABC como modelo)
...Show More Authors

When writing a text, such as a newspaper article, various types of discourse markers are frequently used to group sentences into paragraphs and parts in order to establish a discourse with certain functions, such as coordination, orientation, emphasizing the concepts presented, etc. It should also be noted that this type of mark exists in both written and spoken language. Therefore, it is convenient to dedicate a chapter to these linguistic elements to clarify their use and their classification, which is mainly based on Jose Portolés (2001), as well as the main features, specifically their features (prosodic, morphological, semantic and pragmatic).

Here, the researcher shed light on the concept of viewpoint, its types, and its importance in novels in general.

Quelques notes sur Alain Robbe-Grillet et son œuvre
...Show More Authors

Alain Robbe-Grillet a été un auteur célèbre ; il a beaucoup été étudié, mais a-t-il été beaucoup lu ? Et surtout bien lu ? Car ses ouvrages sont remplis de chausse-trappes, et l’écrivain s’est ingénié à dérouter ses lecteurs, s’efforçant toujours de les empêcher de conclure sur un sens. Sans cesse, il emmêle les chronologies et les faits, mêle les époques, s’acharne à contredire ce qu’il vient d’exprimer, à brouiller les pistes. Et, toujours, il a tenu à rester le maître du jeu qu’il imposait. Le lire, c’est à la fois accepter de se laisser embarquer là où il veut nous conduire, et se battre continuellement avec lui pour construire des structures et du sens.

Graphic Novels : A Privilege For Teachers and Students
...Show More Authors

There are many ways to communicate a story, one can tell it, sing it, act it, write it, film it and can draw it. Each form of storytelling has its unique characteristics that separate it from the other forms. These distinguishing characteristics of each form does not indicate the superiority of one form over the other, on the contrary, it indicates the human ability to be creative on many levels. As students of literature, only the written form of a story is taken into account. One reason for the negligence of other forms of storytelling might be that singing and filming a story is not related to literature. But there has been a form of storytelling that uses words along with pictures which eventually became a genre of novels called grap

Stylistics is the analysis of the language of literary texts integrated within  various approaches to create a framework of different devices that describe and distinct a particular work. Therefore, feminist stylistics relied on theories of feminist criticism tries to present a counter- image of a woman both in language use and society, to draw attention , raise awareness and change ways that gender represents. Feminist stylistic analysis is related not only to describe sexism in a text, but also to analyze the way that point of view, agency, metaphor, and transitivity choices are  unanticipatedly and carefully connected to issues of gender(Mills,1995:1)            &nb

The United States government allowed Native Americans to abandon their reservations in the 1950s and 1960s. The historical, social, and cultural backgrounds shaped the forms and themes of works by American Indian writers who urged people to refuse their culture's sense of shame. Moreover, their behavior corresponded with the restoration of individuals to their rituals after disappointment, loss of sense of life, and mental illness performed from the influence of mainstream American society. Among these writers, N. Scott Momaday and Leslie Marmon Silko participate in similar interest in portraying characters caught between indigenous beliefs and white mainstream standards.

      Grammatical particles are so important in understanding a text and its meaning in linguistic context. This paper  " Grammatical Behavior and Uses of Negative and Prohibitive Particles in Semitic Languages: A Comparative Semitic Study"

      tackles  a very important topic in Semitic languages. Comparative studies in Semitic languages shed light on  phenomena in different languages that are related or have one common origin. No doubt, such studies have their own effects on language study in general especially when studying a specific phenomenon and explaining it by reliance on the one origin, or by investigating the various phases of its historical development.

Der Sozialdemokrat Günter Grass will durch seine Werke nicht überzeugen und bekehren (wie z.B.
