The article presents the results of semantic analysis of English neologisms with the gender component in their meaning which were registered in lexicographic resources during the XXI century (100 units). The research resulted in distinguishing several thematic groups of new words that characterize men and women according to various parameters: appearance, family relations, professional activity, spheres of interests and others. The obtained results enabled to come to conclusion that social conscience and public worldview affected the process of formation of new lexical items that reflect the changing male and female features and their attitude to the reality. Componential analysis revealed evaluative component in the meaning of some new words, most of which present the negative characteristics of men. This paper also examines gender marked neologisms functioning (2427 tokens) in electronic mass media (450 articles) and demonstrates their wide circulation in various articles. Emerging of gender-marked neologisms and their use can be the evidence of the changes in the perception of gender roles in the society and, correspondingly, in the linguistic picture of the world.

This study aims to examines the meaning of zawj in al-Qur'an. This research is a qualitative research using descriptive-analysis method. Descriptive-analysis method aims to analyze the zawj’ word in the Qur'an. The meaning of zawj in the Qur'an is very vareative. In the Koran with various derivations, the word zawj is 21 derivations contained in 72 verses of 43 surahs and is mentioned in 81 times. The researcher used the semantic analysis of al-Qur'an which was initiated by Toshihiko Izutsu who tried to address the world view of Qu'ran (weltanschauung) through semantic analysis of the vocabulary and key terms in the Qur’an. This research concludes that the basic meaning of the word zawj is something that is not singular or something that has an equivalent. Zawj can be interpreted as: a husband in the surah (al-Mujādalah [58]: 1;wife in the surah (al-Baqarah [2]: 35; a partner, namely Allah created all beings in pairs (az-Dzariyat [51]: 49;animals are male and female pairs (al-An'ām [6]: 143), plants (al-Syu'arā [367]: 7); and groups (al-Wāqi'ah [56]: 7. In the pre- Qur'anic, the word zawj is defined as a rug. In the Qur'anic period it is divided into two, namely Mecca and Medina. The Mecca period has a close meaning with the sign of the greatness of Allah and the pleasure that Allah gives. The Medina period contains the laws of separation. In the post-Qur'anic period, the word zawj describes gender equality, that men and women are the same components without being differentiated, so that there is a harmonious life in pairs.

Considerable Body

Ushering the reader into both the world of early modern radical religion and the considerable body of scholarly literature devoted to its study, the introduction offers a précis of what is to come and a backward glance to explain how the proposed journey contributes to ongoing scholarly conversations. After orienting readers to the basic methodological boundaries within which the book will operate and briefly situating the book within the wider historiography, the introduction adumbrates the shape of the work as a whole and encapsulates its central argument. The introduction contends that the mid-seventeenth-century men and women often described as “Particular Baptists” would not have readily understood themselves as such. This tension between the self-identity of the early modern actors and the identity imposed upon them by future scholars has significant implications for how we understand both radical religion during the English Revolution and the period more broadly.

Oriented Approach

Sociolinguistics deals with linguistic variations such as dialect, idiolect, genderlect, register etc. It deals with ways of using particular languages and the social roles of speakers of these languages.  It is the speaker-oriented approach. Genders have different characteristics in the use of language, which lead to the gender differences in language. The present study was conducted to analyze the gender-based linguistic variations (variations at discourse and communication level) in Urdu language. Deborah Tannen’s Genderlect theory is the theoretical Background of the study. She has presented six sets of language contrasts that are used as instrument to analyze male and female conversations. It is commonly believed that women language is more sophisticated, apologetic as compared to men. These differences are called gender preferential differences in a patriarchal society with their own fancies and whims. The hypothesis is that men and women have different ways of communicating, based on male and female perception of the world as they are made of different things and contrasting style. The qualitative paradigm used in this study. Direct observation, interview and tape recording are used as tools for the data collection. Recorded conversation has been transcribed and analyzed to provide data from which these issues have been discussed. The researcher has analyzed Urdu language conversation among Urdu speech community living specially in Sialkot, according to Tannen’s speech contrasts. The data was analyzed manually. The findings show that variations occur due to the use of various linguistic devices, style, topic of discussion, power etc. This study is limited to the Urdu speech community. The limitation of my research is that I observed the language of middle class Urdu speech community not the other classes. In this research, I only highlighted variations at communication level, and delimited all other variations such as morphological, syntactic, phonological variations. Future researchers can study these aspects. The study will benefit the whole society in creation of awareness about non-sexist language to give a psychological identity of females in Pakistan.

Semantic Aspect

Particular attention is paid to the consideration of semantic-semiotic components of the existence of culture, the meanings of cultural phenomena and analysis of the semantics of discursive components. Within the framework of a single discourse, ontological focuses are realized as part of the so-called “modes of being”: “being in oneself”, “being for oneself”, “being for another”, each of which does not exist in isolation; between them there is continuous interaction and mutual development in the implementation of cultural scenarios. Modes are embodied in the language, they are directly involved in the process of creating the so-called cultural and linguistic picture of the world. The ontological nature of modes is appeared not only in their existence, development, but also in their embodiment, representation, in the transfer of meanings, in the semantic aspect of discourse. The embodiment of the modes of being in culture from the standpoint of semantic analysis considered in two ways: linguistic and cultural. Cultural parameter and its representation in the system of ontological knowledge should be considered as the functioning of such a semantic-semiotic phenomenon, such a transformation as “components of culture”, which are described from the standpoint of the semiological analysis, suggesting that when considering the components of culture as a cultural (linguocultural) text is based on the semantic aspect of the process of deployment of ritual actions in all the variety of components of lexical codes.

This research aims to describe the form and meaning of house in Naga in term of emic and ethic perspectives. This study focuses on the form and space of house arcithecture as well as the symbolic meaning of house for people living in Naga. The data is generated through a series of interview, participant observation and library research. The research shows that the form of Naga’s house is closely related to their belief in which the world is divided into three, i.e: upper world, middle and the lower one. In addition, that form also reflects their views on the place of men and women within the house. Though separation is required by their tradition, they also provide the neutral room in which male and female could meet together. Their houses also provide the sacred room to reflect the existencse of God within their life. To sum up, those beliefs are, to some extent, in line with the Islamic norms practiced by Muslim in their daily life. Basically, symbols in the house contain universal symbol, except for goah which is believed as Dewi Sri’s room. However, the house’s design, form, and arrangement are quite similar to Islamic architecture with some restrictions states as Islamic portrait within local wisdom framework

AbstractIn December 2019, a novel virus named as COVID-19 emerged in the city of Wuhan, China. In early 2020, the COVID-19 virus spread in all continents of the world except Antarctica causing widespread infections and deaths due to its contagious characteristics and no medically proven treatment. The COVID-19 pandemic has been termed as most consequential global crisis after the World Wars. The first line of defense against the COVID-19 spread are the non-pharmaceutical measures like social distancing and personal hygiene. On the other hand, the medical service providers are the first responders for infected persons with severe symptoms of COVID-19. The great pandemic affecting billions of lives economically and socially has motivated the scientific community to come up with solutions based on computer-aided digital technologies for diagnosis, prevention, and estimation of COVID-19. Some of these efforts focus on statistical and Artificial Intelligence-based analysis of the available data concerning COVID-19. All of these scientific efforts necessitate that the data brought to service for the analysis should be open-source to promote the extension, validation, and collaboration of the work in the fight against the global pandemic. Our survey is motivated by the open-source efforts that can be mainly categorized as: (a) COVID-19 diagnosis from CT scans and X-ray images, (b) COVID-19 case reporting, transmission estimation, and prognosis from epidemiological, demographic, and mobility data, (c) COVID-19 emotional and sentiment analysis from social media, and (d) knowledge-based discovery and semantic analysis from the collection of scholarly articles covering COVID-19. We review and critically analyze works in these directions that are accompanied by open-source data and code. We hope that the article will provide the scientific community with an initiative to start open-source extensible and transparent research in the collective fight against COVID-19.

The aim of the research is to analyze the trend in the number of participants in the Belgrade Marathon in the period 2007-2019: total, by gender and age categories, with a special reference to participants from Serbia. Using linear regressions, it was found that the total number of participants, both from Serbia and abroad, significantly increased; total number of male and female participants, both from Serbia and abroad, significantly increased ; the number of women is growing more than men every year, especially inthe sample of participants from Serbia; the number of participants by age categories of 5 years, for women and men from Serbia increased to the age group of 30-35 years, and then slowly decreased; the percentage of men and women in the 30-39 age category is increasing; the proportion of female seniors and female veterans is increasing. Statistically significant decreases: percentage of men in the 50-59 age category; percentage of male veterans. The percentage of male seniors didnot change. It can be concluded that the number of participants in the Belgrade Marathon, especially participants from Serbia, is increasing significantly, with a trend that exceeds many marathons in the world. The number of women is lower than in most marathons in the world, but the number of women from Serbia is increasing significantly compared to the number of men, which is in line with world trends. The number of male veterans is decreasing, which is different from most marathons in the world.

In this paper, Winnicott discusses the origins of creativity, stating that creative apperception more than anything else is what makes the individual feel that life is worth living. He contrasts this with a relationship to external reality that is one of compliance, where the world and its details are recognized only as something to be fitted in with or demanding adaptation. He also approaches creativity from the position of male and female elements, using case material involving dissociation of male and female elements in men and women and discussing pure male and female elements.
