An assessment of the translation-specificity of over-represented multi-word patterns in Swedish fiction texts translated from English

This paper discusses in what sense an over-represented multi-word pattern in a corpus of translated texts can be said to be typical of translated text. The purpose of the discussion is to assess, from a quantitative as well as from a qualitative perspective, the status of translational collocation data retrieved through data-driven methods from a comparable and parallel aligned cor¬pus of English and Swedish original and translated texts. The study focuses on the explicitation of clausal relations in translations from English into Swedish. In some cases, lexical and grammatical contrast lead to explicita¬tion, but in others explicitation is due to different factors.

The Prosodical rules should be followed properly in the composition of Classical Rhymed poems/ verses in Tamil and Arabic. In both these classical languages, Tamil and Arabic; there are set of Prosodical rules. In the Prosodical elements namely syllable, poetic word pattern and stanza, we found unique similarities in both these classical poems. The aim of this article is to throw light on the similarities found in these Prosodical elements of classical Arabic and Tamil Poems.

Word pattern prediction using Big Data frameworks

Using software applications or services, which provide word or even word pattern recommendation service has become part of our lives. Those services appear in many form in our daily basis, just think of our smartphones keyboard, or Google search suggestions and this list can be continued. With the help of these tools, we can not only find the suitable word that fits into our sentence, but we can also express ourselves in a much more nuanced, diverse way. To achieve this kind of recommendation service, we use an algorithm which is capable to recommend word by word pattern queries. Word pattern queries, can be expressed as a combination of words, part-of-speech (POS) tags and wild card words. Since there are a lot of possible patterns and sentences, we use Big Data frameworks to handle this large amount of data. In this paper, we compared two popular framework Hadoop and Spark with the proposed algorithm and recommend some enhancement to gain faster word pattern generation.

Root and Pattern Effects in the Processing of Spoken Non-Words in Arabic

Words in Arabic are formed by mapping roots into patterns. Conducting a series of priming experiments, Boudelaa and Marslen-Wilson (2015, p. 955) have concluded that “root and word pattern morphemes function as abstract cognitive entities, operating independently of semantic factors and dissociable from possible phonological confounds” In the present study, plausibility of this conclusion is tested by investigating native Arabic speakers’ sensitivity to the presence of roots and patterns when processing spoken non-words in Arabic. 50 native Arabic speakers were given a 7-point word-likeness rating task. In this task, participants were asked to rate the word-likeness of 132 auditorily presented non-words in Arabic. 88 of these non-words were created by using real Arabic roots (e.g. /mlk/) that varied in their type and token frequencies and were mapped into two different types of pseudo patterns. Results have shown that native Arabic speakers are sensitive to the presence of roots in the non-words. Specifically, root type frequency had the strongest effect on subjects’ ratings of the non-words in both types of patterns. Implications of these findings to theories of the Arabic mental lexicon will be discussed.

Asas Pembentukan Kata dalam Morfologi Arab

Language is one of the most important medium to transmit knowledge and also to build the identities. In addition, language contained the word patterns, morpheme elements, derivations which lead better understanding for use in daily life. The aim of this article to study the process of Arabic language formation and the change of word pattern which had implemented. It involved the elements of word formation such involving of morpheme elements, inflections, derivations and some other components. A qualitative method approached by analysing the content through the reading of scientific materials such as books, articles, and newspaper. The results of the study found that a word in Arabic was formed by using the root word as the basis for publishing a new word pattern. The root word is derived from three consonants (phoneme) as well as the connectivity of several morpheme units like words كَتَبَ (has written) consisting of consonants (KA+TA+BA). Abstrak Bahasa merupakan salah satu medium yang penting untuk menyebarkan pengetahuan serta membina identity. Tambahan pula, Bahasa juga mengandungi corak perkataan, elemen morfem, derivasi yang membawa kefahaman yang lebih baik untuk digunakan dalam kehidupan seharian. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji proses pembentukan kata bahasa Arab serta kaedah perubahan pola perkataan dilaksanakan. Ini melibatkan beberapa elemen yang terlibat dalam proses pembentukan kata seperti penglibatan elemen morfem, infleksi, derivasi dan beberapa komponen yang lain. Metod kualitatif digunakan iaitu dengan menganalisis isi kandungan melalui pembacaan bahan ilmiah seperti buku, artikel dan keratan akhbar. Hasil dari kajian mendapati bahawa sesuatu perkataan dalam bahasa Arab itu dibentuk dengan menggunakan kata akar sebagai asas bagi menerbitkan pola perkataan yang baru. Akar kata ini terhasil daripada tiga konsonen (fonem) serta penggambungan beberapa unit morfem seperti perkataan كَتَبَ (telah menulis) yang terdiri konsonan (KA+TA+BA).

Kajian Pola dan Makna Kontekstual Perkataan Basar dalam Surah al-Isra’

Quran is a scripture that was revealed in the last 15 centuries. Each letter, word, verse, and sura contains a perfect and beautiful pattern. Each pattern in the Quran has significant meaning to be studied. Generally, the study of the Quranic pattern has been carried out. However, there is no specific study of the word-based pattern in the Quran especially the word basar. Furthermore, existing Quranic translations have not taken into account the contextual meaning of a word in their translation. Hence, this study aims to examine the basar word pattern in surah al-Isra’, analyze the meaning of the word basar and classify it based on the thematic approach. This paper is a conceptual work paper using qualitative methods and content analysis methods based on the thematic approach. The findings of the study show that there are 8 repetitions of the word basar in surah al-Isra’. The finding of this study also found that each word basar has different meanings based on the derivation and the contextual meaning of each verse. Such special understanding should be examined more broadly on the words contained in the Quran, especially the existing Quranic translations do not take this approach in their translation.
