Social media has become a powerful tool for oppressed individuals and communities to express their resilience, protest, and resistance in conflict settings. Focusing on the 2023 Palestine-Israel conflict, this study examines the linguistic techniques used by Palestinians to express resilience, struggle, and solidarity in social media posts published on the Facebook accounts of Al Jazeera Channel and Palestine TV, as well as on the Telegram accounts of Gaza Now and Warlife3. It also examines the role of their language in preserving the identity, religion, and culture of the Palestinian community. Moreover, the study analyzes how linguistic narratives contribute to strengthening solidarity, unity, and hope among the Palestinian people. The study corpus is examined through the lens of Mediated Discourse Analysis proposed by Norris and Jones (2005) and Scollon (2001). The analysis showed a repertoire of linguistic strategies reflecting gender discourse and sociocultural resilience. While Palestinian men employed direct quotations and declarative structure to reinforce a tone of resistance and determination, Palestinian women used emotive language, rhetorical questions, metaphors, vocative forms, and repetition to humanize the struggle. Both genders used religious expressions to solidify cultural and spiritual resistance. Inclusive pronouns and reference to Jihad were used to construct collective solidarity. The findings contribute to the gendered resistance discourse by showing how gendered linguistic styles are used to reinforce resilience and foster solidarity in conflict settings. The findings expand MDA's applicability in examining narratives of resistance and collective empowerment.
社交媒体已成为受压迫的个人和社区在冲突环境中表达韧性、抗议和抵抗的有力工具。本研究以2023年的巴以冲突为重点，研究了巴勒斯坦人在Al Jazeera频道和巴勒斯坦电视台的Facebook账户以及Gaza Now和Warlife3的电报账户上发布的社交媒体帖子中表达坚韧、斗争和团结的语言技巧。它还考察了他们的语言在维护巴勒斯坦社区的身份、宗教和文化方面的作用。此外，该研究还分析了语言叙事如何有助于加强巴勒斯坦人民之间的团结、统一和希望。研究语料库通过Norris and Jones（2005）和Scollon（2001）提出的中介话语分析的视角进行检验。分析显示了一系列反映性别话语和社会文化弹性的语言策略。巴勒斯坦男性使用直接引用和陈述性结构来加强抵抗和决心的基调，而巴勒斯坦女性则使用情感语言、修辞问题、隐喻、呼召形式和重复来使斗争人性化。男女双方都使用宗教表达来巩固文化和精神上的抵抗。包容性代词和对圣战的指称被用来构建集体团结。研究结果通过展示如何使用性别语言风格来增强冲突环境中的复原力和促进团结，为性别抵抗话语做出了贡献。这些发现扩大了MDA在研究抵抗和集体赋权叙事方面的适用性。

The persistent challenges Malay learners face in acquiring Arabic speaking skills have been extensively studied for decades, yet practical solutions remain elusive. Previous research has approached this issue with the intent of solving it from various angles, including curriculum design, teaching methodologies, learning strategies, and extracurricular activities involving both educators and students, yet the problem persists essentially unchanged. This paper adopts a novel approach by examining the gaps in our efforts to address the issue. It seeks to identify where our strategies falter, what crucial elements are lacking, and where we should begin anew. Embracing the notion that returning to Arabic tradition may offer valuable insights, this study delves into Ibn Khaldun's concept of "malakah," which provides a nuanced discussion of Arabic language instruction. This approach inherently emphasizes the practical dimension of language acquisition. The study underscores the deficiencies in current approaches and proposes pragmatic solutions to bridge the gap.

Communication is the primary function of any language in the world, including Arabic, which is expressed in the form of sentences. Early Arab scholars recognized the importance of the communicative aspect in the structure of Arabic grammar. However, later scholars focus on only one aspect of grammar: inflexion. In contrast, grammar is not limited to the conditions at the ends of words. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the communicative functions through grammatical structures in Arabic language textbooks for primary schools in Malaysia (KSSR) for 2017. This study relies on the descriptive method to achieve its main objectives, utilizing Roman Jakobson's theory of language functions as an analytical framework to uncover the communication process and its functions as realized in the language materials presented in the textbook. The study found that using simple grammatical structures is of utmost importance in enhancing communicative competence among students, which aligns with the curriculum's goal of enabling students to use Arabic communicatively with precision in various situations. The study also shows five communicative functions applied in the Arabic grammatical structures in these books: referential, expressive, conative, phatic, and metalinguistic functions. This study may provide new insights for developers of Arabic curricula, presenting Arabic grammatical sentences from a more comprehensive communicative perspective, theoretically and practically, to improve the quality of Arabic language education in primary schools in particular.

The rich linguistic texture of the Holy Qur’an presents unique difficulties in maintaining the integrity of meanings across languages, especially given the complex interplay of synonyms that often carry subtle distinctions. This study aims to elucidate the contextual meanings, analyse the polysemous nature of بأس (ba’s) (punishment), and investigate the semantic distinctions between the near-synonymous terms بأس (ba’s) and بطش batsha (assault) and their AI-generated and post-edited English translations of the Qur’an. Adopting the Relation by Contrast Approach to Synonyms (RC-S) by Murphy (2003), the study utilises a qualitative approach to identify the semantic layers of meanings of the selected Qur’anic synonyms. The analysis reveals that بأس (ba’s) is polysemous in the Qur’anic text, capturing diverse meanings like punishment, battle, and hardship, reflecting its complex usage in enhancing thematic and rhetorical aspects of verses, unlike its near-synonym بطش (batsha) which is more narrowly defined as "assault." While ChatGPT’s translations of بأس (ba’s) vary in accuracy, highlighting the AI’s challenge in capturing context-specific meanings, the translation of بطش (batsha) as "grasp" fails to convey the aggressive connotations of "assault," which necessitates significant refinements by human editors to align renderings more closely with the original’s military and theological contexts.

Translation of Qur'anic legal verses, mainly from Surah Al-Mā'idah, poses significant challenges due to its complex legal, theological, and cultural context. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of AI compared to human translation of these verses, highlighting the challenges faced in translating these complex texts into English. Utilizing Rosa's (2010) Approach to Descriptive Translation Studies, this study identifies contextual norms and influences on translation decisions, providing a framework for comparing translation strategies used by AI and human translators. The study adopts a qualitative design, analyzing ten purposefully selected verses from Surah Al-Mā'idah, translated by AI (ChatGPT) and Abdullah Yusuf Ali. This comparative analysis illustrates the strengths and weaknesses of AI and human translation in capturing the detailed nuances of Qur'anic legal verses. Findings indicate that AI translations demonstrate speed and consistency but lack the depth needed to convey theological and legal subtleties accurately. Human translations, on the other hand, exhibit more significant variability. However, they are more adept at reflecting the complex contextual meanings inherent in the original text. These results are of great importance for translation studies, particularly in understanding the capabilities and limitations of AI in translating complex religious texts. The translation of the legal verses of the Qur'an, especially from Surah Al-Mā'idah, poses significant challenges due to its complex legal, theological, and cultural context. The implications of the current study extend to scholars, translators, and religious educators who aim to improve the quality and reliability of Qur'an translations for diverse audiences. This contribution is significant in bridging the gap between traditional translation methods and emerging digital technologies in translating religious texts.
《古兰经》法律经文的翻译，主要来自《马伊达章》，由于其复杂的法律、神学和文化背景，提出了重大挑战。本研究旨在评估人工智能翻译这些经文的准确性和有效性，并强调将这些复杂的文本翻译成英语所面临的挑战。利用Rosa（2010）的描述翻译研究方法，本研究确定了语境规范及其对翻译决策的影响，为比较人工智能和人类译者使用的翻译策略提供了一个框架。该研究采用定性设计，分析了由AI （ChatGPT）和阿卜杜拉·优素福·阿里（Abdullah Yusuf Ali）翻译的《古兰经》中有目的地选择的十节经文。这一比较分析说明了人工智能和人工翻译在捕捉古兰经法律经文细节的细微差别方面的优势和劣势。研究结果表明，人工智能翻译表现出速度和一致性，但缺乏准确传达神学和法律微妙之处所需的深度。另一方面，人类翻译则表现出更大的可变性。然而，他们更善于反映原文中固有的复杂语境意义。这些结果对于翻译研究，特别是理解人工智能在翻译复杂宗教文本中的能力和局限性具有重要意义。古兰经的法律经文的翻译，特别是从苏拉马伊达，提出了重大的挑战，由于其复杂的法律，神学和文化背景。当前研究的意义延伸到学者、翻译人员和宗教教育者，他们的目标是为不同的受众提高古兰经翻译的质量和可靠性。这一贡献在弥合传统翻译方法与新兴数字技术在翻译宗教文本方面的差距方面具有重要意义。

This research proposes a new semantic approach to enhance the understanding of Arabic text in the Quran context. The aim is to bridge the existing gap in interpretation, which primarily relies on semantic web ontology and the linguistic framework developed by Toshihiko Izutsu. This philosophical research seeks to provide new paradigms and transcend the conventional semantic. It argues for the adoption of five methodical steps to uncover the deeper meanings behind the literal text of the Quran: (a) textual context analysis, (b) situational context analysis, (c) integration of intrinsic and extrinsic elements of the Quran, (d) syntagmatic and paradigmatic analysis, and (e) constructing the meaning of the past and present. This new paradigm challenges the traditional semantic approach to the Quran and facilitates a deeper understanding.

Having problems expanding vocabulary in a foreign language is one of the most common worries among students. Teaching students the right approach to learning is one way to assist them in overcoming this issue. Nevertheless, teachers must first be aware of the diverse vocabulary learning strategies used by students with varied preferences before disclosing the specific strategies to them. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the types and levels of vocabulary learning strategies employed by students of different genders. Furthermore, it investigates whether there were significant differences in the use of strategies based on gender. The data was gathered using a vocabulary learning strategies questionnaire from 220 Arabic foreign language learners at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Perlis Branch, Malaysia. The findings showed that male and female students used strategies at a moderate level. The dictionary strategy was the most frequently used among male and female students. However, these two groups of students utilized different least used strategies: metacognitive strategies for male students and practice strategies for female students. The findings also revealed no significant difference in the overall use of vocabulary learning strategies based on gender. This shows that the pattern of strategies used by male and female students was almost the same. Thus, educators can expose students to a variety of vocabulary learning strategies that serve as reinforcement from the beginning to help students' memory (memory strategies), improve their language skills (practice strategies), and manage their progression in vocabulary learning (metacognitive strategies).

Language learners with a solid international posture are generally more willing to communicate in the foreign language they learn. However, studies on global posture could have been conducted better, especially for Arabic language learners. Therefore, this study aims to examine the level of readiness of students of Arabic studies programs in terms of international posture. This study uses a quantitative design by distributing online questionnaire instruments to 180 final-year students of the bachelor’s degree from three public universities in Malaysia, namely Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM), and International Islamic University (UIA). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. The results showed that students in tertiary Arabic Studies programs in Malaysia report that international posture is in the moderate range but relatively lower. Students need to capitalize on all these aspects, which will directly and indirectly contribute to better achievement in learning Arabic.
具有扎实国际姿态的语言学习者通常更愿意用他们所学的外语进行交流。然而，关于全球姿态的研究本可以做得更好，尤其是针对阿拉伯语学习者。因此，本研究旨在考察阿拉伯研究项目的学生在国际姿态方面的准备水平。本研究采用定量设计，向马来西亚三所公立大学，即马来西亚国民大学（UKM）、马来西亚伊斯兰大学（USIM）和国际伊斯兰大学（UIA）的180名本科毕业班学生发放在线问卷。数据分析采用SPSS version 25。结果显示，马来西亚高等教育阿拉伯研究课程的学生报告说，国际姿态处于中等范围，但相对较低。学生需要利用所有这些方面，这将直接或间接地有助于更好地学习阿拉伯语。

The use of Google Translate in translating Indonesian to Arabic still needs improvement. This study aims to analyze various forms of Google Translate errors in translation from Indonesian to Arabic and identify tips for using Google Translate to reduce the mistakes in translation results. This research is descriptive qualitative research using the library research method. The data analysis technique used in this research is content analysis. The discussion in this study includes a definition of translation, the urgency of translation, problematic translation and basis in translating, forms of translation errors using Google Translate, and tips for using Google Translate. The results showed that the results of the Google Translate translation from Indonesian to Arabic still cannot be said to be accurate. Several forms of errors occur, such as nakirah ma'rifat errors, mudzakkar muannats errors, errors in using meaningful harf, errors in using dhomir, mufrad errors, mutsanna jama ', errors in i'rab, errors in the use of fi'il, inaccuracies in translating the subject, predicate, conjunction, and several other positions. Several steps can be taken to minimize the mistakes in the translation results: rearranging the language structure, determining the limits of the sentences to be translated, and adjusting and editing the translation results.
