When talking about foreign vocabulary of the Glorious Qur’an, different arguments took place and affected the line of researche on Qura’nic studies. Some scholars were against the idea that the Glorious Qur’an has foreign words. Other scholarsargued against that, claiming that the existence of foreign words in the Glorious Qur’an would reflect the richness of Arabic and the excellence of the Qur’an. In the middle of these two points of view, lies the convincing argument that both points of view are not wrong: those who claim that there are foreign words in the Glorious Qur’an are right because the origins of these words are Persian, Syriac, Ethiopic, or Hebrew etc. and those who reject this claim are also right because these words were adopted into Arabic and were Arabicized so they became integrated in the Arabic language.

This work confirms the empirical assumption that there is a relation between images of ancient script characters, their sounds, related tongue tip movements and tongue contours. This relation is used to identify sounds of undeciphered scripts. As a first step, sounds which are not in combinations are selected from Hindi, English and Tamil. There are 24 such sounds. These sounds are then represented by points on inner surface of the oral cavity. Images of characters of Egyptian hieroglyphs and Linear B scripts, which have already been deciphered, are selected and their corresponding sounds are studied to precisely position 24 sounds in the vocal cavity. Then, the relation between images, sounds, tongue tip movements and tongue contours is also verified. Using this information, Indus script and Oracle bone scripts are analyzed and their sound values are identified. This approach may be of help in identifying sounds of ancient scripts representing images and as well as understanding primitive spoken languages lacking written scripts.

Journalistic objectivity is the ideal that reporting should be based purely on facts without allowing a journalists’ personal values, beliefs, and emotions into a story. However, in today’s changing media environment, the principle of objectivity continues to be questioned. The present study examines the objectivity of local journalistsimmediately following the Eastern Japan Great Earthquake. In particular, we discuss the Kahoku Shin pōposter project in the city of Onagawa, where extensive earthquake damage occurred. One of the findings is that, in a departure from objectivity, journalistic compassion is a great tool for connecting with the local community and forassisting with the recovery effort in the area.

Reading is one of the most important skills for language learners. Therefore, the reading strategies play a vital role for comprehending their reading tasks. The present study then investigated the reading strategies employed by Thai university students towards academic reading. The questionnaire, which based on the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (Oxford, 1990), and semi-structure interview were conducted for collecting both quantitative and qualitative data. The collected data then were analysed by using the descriptive statistics. Classified by category, the findings from the questionnaire indicated that affective strategies was rated at the most used strategy, whereas social strategies was reported the least use. Moreover, grouped by strategy, the highest used strategies was cognitive strategies, whereas social strategies was at the least level. In addition, the results from interviewing stated that scanning (cognitive strategies) was the most employed strategy, whereas reading a passage only one time with no focus was the least used. Moreover, summarizing (cognitive strategies) was the most useful strategy reported by the participants, while reading slowly with no focus was the useless technique for most of them. A further study should explore the relationship between the use of reading strategies and the perception towards the useful strategies.

The Race of Sound gives an insight into topics related to African American music from the perspective of politicized listening, timbre and vocality. Everyone can sing a song and speak a language, but only talented singers and orators are exceptional to their audience.The singers‟ performances analyzed by the author of “The Race of Sound” come from the rich history of African American music. While Eidsheim tells the stories of both very and less famous singers, and focuses on the remarkable voices of Billie Holiday, Jimmy Scott and Marian Anderson, the book is not about their innate talent.It is about those vocal traits that are socially acquired either as part of a linguistic community or as part of culturally marked training techniques.Indeed, the author explains that when singers improvise, their performance appears spontaneous and natural, but it actually is the result of a lifetime enculturation process. Moreover, Eidsheim claims that,regrettably, vocal training is often influenced by pedagogical preconceptions based onpolitical ideology.

The purpose of this study was to explore effects of a teacher supervision program to enhance teachers’ learning to teach GlocalEnglishes. The participants were two in-service English teachersfrom two different schools, purposefully selected to participate in this study.Theresearch instruments used for data collection were supervision dialogue, classroom observations, and reflection note. Qualitative data were collected and analyzed by the thematic analysis method.The result of this study indicated that the supervision program impacted the participants in three aspects: characteristics, techniques in the classrooms, and relationships with the students. Discussions and implications for teacher professional development was included.

The present paper deals with the traditional semantic triangle from the perspective of successful / unsuccessful communication in case of linguistic ambiguity and examines the limitations of the triangle in description of communication-cognition process. It is maintained that the semantic triangle merely explains the relationship between sign, concept and referent and describes how the received linguistic signs are decoded but fails to demonstrate the process of communication which is the main function of human language. An attempt is made to model and demonstrate communication-cognition process in case of linguistic ambiguity geometrically. Thus, instead of the semantic triangle, the author suggests a new geometrical shape dubbed “communication-cognition „butterfly” which includes both the source and recipient of linguistic signs and is tested by means of English linguistic humor based on ambiguity
