Arabic speaking and the melting of religious and historical entities. We cannot be unified without El DhadBy Mustafa Mohammed
Our research paper aims to show the virtue of the Arabic language and its role over time in preserving existential entities, self-identities, national and national identities, despite the suffocating prejudices and fierce campaigns that have been encountered and continue to oppose them, in an attempt to obliterate its features and its existence, In addition to the modern tide with its various currents, which seeks to reduce it within the framework of a reactionary space, only because it is associated with religion (the Qur'an), and then within a geographical space limited to arab speakers, All of this, in their beliefs, has made it a classical language that can be understood in a historical heritage context, unable to read reality and assimilate postmodern systems, especially since it has also been taken from it as the language of spiritual entities, poetry, and feelings, more related to the heart than to the mind, Science, civilization and physical entities as a whole, but the specificity of the Arabic language at Mustafa Mohammed al-Ghomari goes beyond its general conceptual framework to an approach that stands at the controversy of religious, historical, cultural and cultural entities that do not establish boundaries between what it was , and what it is and what it will be.

Rethoric Of The Digital Image In The Literary Text Interactive
If we recognise that the imageis a text in its own right as a plastic or pictorial art, that it carries its own discourse, its own indicators and its own independent modes of reading, its combination with the digital or interactive literary text confronts us with a double discourse, which requires critical procedures capable of taking the different aspects into account. Interactive literature has tended to exploit static and moving digital images as aesthetic interfaces for texts, and they have become metaphors that indicate a new or additional rhetoric, since the studies that have dealt with interactive literature have considered it as a digital rhetoric with its own metaphorical characteristics and aesthetic impact.
Patters of Otherness and the Representation of Feminine "Other" in Saïd Khatibi's The Book of Sins
This study aims to explore the narrative corpus of the Algerian literature with a special focusing on The Book of Sins by the Algerian young novelist Saïd Khatibi. The research delves into the issues raised within the text in a quest for uncovering the embedded cultural patterns and the representations of the feminine “Other” in the novel. The essay endeavours to expose the cultural nuances, otherness patterns, and reveal the representation of the feminine Other in the narrative. The study investigates how dominant powers direct the feminine Other towards a path fraught with risks, contradictions, psychological and social conflicts. By employing cultural criticism and its procedural tools, the research aims to develop an interpretative approach that begins with understanding the self, extends to understanding the Other, and concludes with comprehending the text that is open to multiple readings. The findings suggest that the feminine Other is controlled by the various authorities, and that the social institution fails to contain the margin. Additionally, it can be concluded that the dominance of the centre over the margin and the failure of the feminine Other to transition to the center are evident themes within the narrative
The novel "Woman from Dhafar" by Zubaidi: Narrating the Unspoken
Political power has subsequently adopted a series of restrictions to conceal the legacy of Dhofar revolution and war. This is in the context of controlling the speech that was established to establish the modern State as the Sultan Qaboos bin Saeed wanted to build: State of a unitary nature, far from political or sectarian partisanship. The legacy of that stage was destroyed under confidentiality throughout Sultan Qaboos' Thus. Until recently, only a few Omani writings tried to narrative that stage of Omani history by using imaginative narrative. This paper approaches Ahmed Zubaidi's experience through a novel "A woman from Dhofar" as the first experience in the Omani narrative to address that stage. The paper analyzes the discourse strategies for saying the unspoken in that stage of Omani history, including how the discourse contributed to shaping the narrative of the revolution as ait was the first discourse that tried to tell Dhofar revolution story, in a context in which telling the unspoken is justified the literature and its presence. That is, in the context of the interrelationship between this narrative's discourse and ideology. On the one hand, the imaginative narrative provides the novel with the multiple possibilities. On the other hand, that narrative gives it ability to fill revolution narrative blanks in the collective imagination.
The Arabic language in the Algerian university : bet and current
This article tackles the reality of the Arabic language and its position in the Algerian university, with a special emphasis on the efforts made to turn the Arabic language, which is the official national language, into a language of teaching, research and writing in all the scientific and humanitarian fields. This is mainly done without neglecting the cultural role teachers and administrators have, the importance of their relationships with the Arabic language, and by connecting this reality to psychological, historical, and cultural factors in addition to the extent to which teachers believe in the endeavor of making the Arabic language a pioneering language with a knowledge and moral sovereignty. It is obvious that the project’s success is directly related to scientific and financial capabilities, and is affected by political factors as well as formal decisions. However, we need to stress the importance of the psychological, cultural, and civilizational aspects in forming this idea, believing in it, and seeking to achieve it in the reality of university life, especially after its turn into a public bet around which all human energies: teachers, students, administration, and a sovereign decision rally to win. Hence, what is the bet of the Arabic language in the knowledge society? And how might the Arabic language become a learning tool in light of the language market and the ongoing linguistic conflict?

The interaction of linguistic signs in light of Saussurean structural theory
Describing the linguistic system, understanding its mechanisms, and explaining and analyzing the mental linguistic processes before and during speech are central concerns for modern linguists of various intellectual and methodological backgrounds. This article examines one of the mechanisms by which natural languages operate according to de Saussure’s structuralist theory, as part of the linguistic system’s function, by focusing on the constant interaction between linguistic signs within the system, whether that interaction is implicit between signs in the mind or explicit between signs at the spoken surface level. These are termed the paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations between linguistic signs. Saussure’s early perspective on how the linguistic apparatus works can be seen as a nucleus for linguists’ orientation in the second half of the 20th century, especially with the transformational generative theory.
The Semiotics and its AnaliticalLevels.A Reading of the Poem “BintAlchahidMalaha” by Abdullah bin Hally.
Abstract : The modern analytical approaches have contributed to approaching literary texts in a radically different way than what was prevailing before. While contextual approaches used to examine texts based on their environment, society, and author, modern approaches seek to read the text in a structural manner, detached from its author. They aim to approach the text based on its language and structure, disregarding what lies outside the text. While some scholars may doubt the success and effectiveness of these approaches in approaching texts and the difficulty of implementing them, serious attempts have proven that their application is indeed possible. While studying a text independently from its author remains a distant goal, the application of these approaches has yielded fruitful results that encourage further implementation. In our endeavor to embody this vision and attempt to prove the effectiveness of the semiotic approach, which falls within the core of structural methodologies, we will try within this article to explore the key levels of semiotic analysis, accompanied by a practical implementation of this approach

The student of contemporary Algerian poetry sees that it has become more mature than before, and opened up to the different literary genres and drew from them, especially in his employment of the elements of narrative discourse, in addition to containing the contemporary Algerian poetic text on many elements that were exclusive only to other literary genres such as the novel, the story and the play, so it also contains the title, dialogue and characters, which in turn carry with them a lot of suggestions that call from the recipient or the reader of this The text deciphered it, so this poetic text has become tempting to study semiotics, but it can be said that the most appropriate entrances to understand and interpret contemporary poetic texts is the semiotic entrance because of its rich semiotic material, starting with the title and textual thresholds, signs and suggestions that require deepening and discovering the semiotic signs indicative of them, Therefore, through this article, we wanted it to be about the contemporary Algerian poetic text and the endless number of semiotic signs that the latter contains.

The fairy tale in Algerian folklore And its mental perceptions in the child’s psyche
Folk heritage is the identity card of societies. It reflects material and cultural diversity unlike the popular folk tale which is considered an ancient popular production.

the unspoken in the feminist discourse the novel "Red Morphine" by majdoli Aljarmany is an example
Abstract : Generally, the inspoken in literary discourse is considered a hidden eff-ective element that parallels the apparent structure of the narrative discourse. The writer, then, works on weaving the threads of the technical structures of the text, through which he seeks to obliterate the esoteric aspects because it carries with it issues that raise topics from the heart of daily life, and usually the searching journey for the unspoken is a penetration into the memory of meaning. Contemporary feminist memory in this case becomes exposed to more than one barrier that hinders the path of creative writing, and this may be deprived of a masculine memory that closely monitors the details of feminist writing. Therefore, this type of writing tends to silent cries, in the history of women this study aims to search for what is hidden in majdoli Aljarmany’s speech, and this appears in a number of feminist writing mechanisms.

And other opposite whims . And since the hue of" love " forms the basis for the birth of the rest of the passions in the novel, it will be the subject of istna's study. ا

Structures indicating the active participle in Arjouza Muhammad al-Bashir alIbrahimi - a lexical morphological study

The autobiographical narrative and the limits of conformity A reading of the novel “Laqbash” by AyyashYahyaw
Perhaps the openness of the novel to other literary genres and the attempt to understand and exploit them are among the important points in the development of the contemporary Algerian novelist text.
