Abstract: Abstract This thesis focuses on child abuse, a long-standing phenomenon that continues to be spread throughout the world. Roald Dahl's motivation for addressing the theme of child abuse stemmed from his own experiences of harsh treatment during his boarding school days, driving him to shed light on the issue and advocate for children's rights. The theme of child abuse is significant in children's literature as it raises awareness about a sensitive issue, and empowers young readers to recognize and speak up against mistreatment. Further, the study intends to demonstrate the significance and impact of Magical Realism and Fantasy in selected novels of children's literature. The examined works are Roald Dahl's contemporary novels Matilda and The BFG. The study examines how the characters in the two analyzed novels interact with their environments, deal with, and confront adults by means of living imaginatively with fantastical figures and thus blurring the line of demarcation between magical and real realms. The protagonists in the selected novels confront adults' deviant behavior by using magic or helped by fantastical figures. The present study is divided into four chapters and a conclusion. Chapter One serves as an introduction. Chapter Two handles an elaboration on children's literature, child abuse, Magical Realism and Fantasy. Chapter Three demonstrates how the protagonist confronts the abusive behaviour. Chapter Four entitled "Confronting Child Abuse through Fantasy in The BFG" illustrates how the protagonist, with the aid of her fanciful friend, challenges the mistreatment of children by the abusive giants. The study ends with its conclusion which sums up the most important findings as well as suggestions for further studies.

Abstract: Prepositions being one of the inevitable parts of speech, have the function of linking two main syntactic elements. More than the other parts of speech they constitute a problematic area in syntax. So their linguistic realization of EFL university learners is extremely difficult to predict as well as their pragmatic realization.This study consists of five chapters in an attempt to shed light on the basic issues about the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic implications of prepositions. The objectives of this study are to investigate the linguistic misconception of EFL university learners to distinguish between the syntactic and semantic function of prepositions. Measuring the learners' potentiality in using spatial and temporal prepositions. This study intends to reveal the pragmatic misconception of the learners at the production level. Hence a test is constructed by the researcher and a sample of (50) learners of the first year at Education College/ Samarra University are subjected to the test. The results explicate that the learners' performance is better in syntax more than that of semantics. Moreover the study indicates that the learners are unable to use the spatial and temporal prepositions adequately. As far as the pragmatic competence is concerned the learners' pragmatic failure is reflected apparently in the results.These results support the study hypotheses which suppose that the learners have a lack in using prepositions and this is due to many factors namely the negative transfer of the first language, the absence of recognizing the mathematical dimensions of prepositions and the negligence of the significance of exposing the learners to the authentic contexts.Finally , on the basis of the results outlined earlier , a number of recommendations and suggestions have been given such as following the effective steps for teaching prepositions and from the pedagogical points of view more concentration most have been given to the pragmatic competence as one of the speakers' ways to express their intention . Also the results reveal that the learners have a lack in the material and pragmatic activities inside the class which lead for their pragmatic failure .
