Abstract: تستخدم هذه الدراسة تحليل الخطاب النقدي للكشف عن التمثيل الخاطئ لكاس العالم 2022 في قطر كما هو موضح في بعض الصحف الامريكية والبريطانية المختارة. غالبا ما يقوم الخطاب الاعلامي بتشويه الحقائق لخلق تصوير منحاز، مما يعزز الصور النمطية ويشكل التصورات العامة. في هذا السياق، عكست تغطية الاعلام الغربي انحيازات ايديولوجية، مما اثر على وجهات النظر العالمية تجاه قطر. تبحث الدراسة في كيفية مساهمة الاستراتيجيات اللغوية والخطابية في كل من صحيفة نيويورك تايمز وصحيفة الغارديان في هذا التمثيل الخاطئ. تهدف الدراسة الى: (1) تحديد البنى المتعدية المستخدمة لبناء تصوير قطر، (2) تحليل الخيارات المعجمية والاستراتيجيات البلاغية التي تبرز قطر كـ "الاخر"، (3) فحص الفروقات الايديولوجية في الصحف الامريكية والبريطانية، (4) مقارنة استراتيجيات التمثيل الخاطئ المستخدمة، و (5) تقييم تاثير هذه الاستراتيجيات على الصورة العالمية لقطر. تفترض الدراسة ان: (1) البنى المتعدية، والاختيارات المعجمية، والهياكل النحوية تعزز الصور النمطية حول الدول غير الغربية، (2) تبرز وسائل الاعلام الغربية انتقائيا الجوانب السلبية لقطر بينما تقلل من الجوانب الايجابية، (3) تعكس التغطية معيارا مزدوجا حيث يتم تاطير القضايا المماثلة في الدول الغربية بشكل اكثر حيادية، (4) تستمر اللغة المثيرة للجدل والرموز في تعزيز التصورات السلبية عن الدول العربية، و(5) تؤثر هذه التمثيلات الخاطئة على العلاقات الدولية والراي العام. لتحقيق اهداف الدراسة، تعتمد الدراسة نموذجا تحليليا انتقائيا يجمع بين اطار فيركلاف الثلاثي الابعاد (2001)، والمربع الايديولوجي لفان دايك (1998)، واللغويات الوظيفية النظامية لهاليداي (1973). يتم تطبيق هذا النموذج على عشرين مقالا من صحيفة نيويورك تايمز وصحيفة ذا غارديان. يدرس اطار النقل لهاليداي للبنى المتعدية، بينما يستكشف نموذج فيركلاف العناصر الدلالية، ويكشف المربع الايديولوجي لفان دايك عن التحيزات الكامنة. تشير النتائج الى ان كلا من الصحف الامريكية والبريطانية تساهم في تمثيل قطر بصورة غير صحيحة. ومع ذلك، تستخدم الصحف البريطانية تعبيرات اكثر قوة تسيء الى الصورة وتعتمد على التصنيف والصفات التنبؤية، مما يعزز الصورة السلبية عن قطر. بينما تشارك الصحف الامريكية ايضا في التمثيل الخاطئ، فانها تتبنى نهجا متوازنا نسبيا، حيث تستخدم التهويل الى جانب التصنيف. تعزز هذه الاستراتيجيات اللغوية الايديولوجيات المركزة على الغرب، مما يشكل تصورات الجمهور حول قطر والديناميكيات العالمية الاوسع.

Abstract: ABSTRACT The current study employs a linguistic comparative approach to explore the interplay between performative verbs, pragmatic features, and syntactic structure in American and British talk shows. As John Langshaw Austin theorized (1962), performative verbs are linguistic expressions that describe an action and perform the action they describe. The problem of the study is that Both American and British cultures share English as a medium of communication, but there are still cultural differences. The study aims to determine how cultural differences in the use of performative verbs influence the dynamics and effectiveness of American and British talk show interviews. By examining the types and functions of performative verbs across cultural contexts, the study will explore how language choices shape the interaction between interviewer and interviewee. The present study aims to identify performative verbs and their types and functions, how the interviewer and interviewee use them to interact with power and culture relations, how to manipulate these verbs to gain and set power during the interview, determine the types of sentence structures, investigate the co-occurrence adverbs with performative verbs. The study proposes hypotheses based on previous aims: 1) Interviewers and interviewees will prioritize performative verbs that drive persuasion and construct power dynamics. 2) Interviewers use authoritative verbs more during introductions, and interviewees utilize justification during self-presentation. 3) Interviewers utilize more emotional verbs to connect with the audience. 4) These verbs will be used in specific sentence structures. 5) Specific adverbs will co-occur with performative verbs. Based on the analysis results, the validity is verified by hypotheses (1-2-3-4-5). Two talk shows have been selected as data for studying American and British talk shows: “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” and "The Graham Norton Show.” The study includes an eclectic model: Searle's (1976) speech act and Quirk et al.'s (1985) model of sentence types and adverbs functions. Mixed methods approach will be employed to achieve the aims and hypotheses of the thesis. The study concludes that American talk shows use reporting and describing performative verbs more than other types as they provide factual data and develop an objective point of view. While British talk shows convey information by reporting performative verbs, they are less concerned with personal opinions or assertiveness. The study reveals that culture determines the type of performative verbs preferred and how the options are conveyed. American talk shows are agreeable and persuasion-focused, while British talk shows are forceful and informative-looking. Adverbs co-occur with these verbs to strengthen or weaken their power. Finally, recommendations and suggestions for further studies have been proposed.

Abstract: Abstract Pragmatics is the study of language use in context and is crucial for effective communication. The pragmatic analysis includes verbal and nonverbal elements using different models. Understanding how verbal and nonverbal elements convey meaning enhances learners’ pragmatic competence. The current study aims to reveal speech act types and subtypes in the Iraqi EFL textbooks English for Iraq in the intermediate and preparatory stages, analyzing written dialogues, images, and audio to uncover verbal and non-verbal illocutionary force-indicating devices. The study also explores the ability of images to express pictorial acts independently of verbal elements and investigates the match between speech and image acts. It further examines the impact of audiovisual context on students’ pragmatic competence, comparing this impact between males and females, as well as students from the scientific and literary branches. The study uses mixed methods, starting the qualitative part by collecting data from the English for Iraq textbooks. An eclectic model for analysis is adopted, employing steps of content analysis to reveal speech act types and subtypes based on Krippendorff (2004). Three models are used to analyze speech acts in written dialogues: Searle (1979), Searle & Vanderveken (1985), and Searle (1969). For pictorial acts in images, four models are utilized: Schmitz (2007), Semiotics (Peirce, 1931), Pease & Pease (2004), and Knapp, Hall & Horgan (2013). Intonation analysis follows Roach (2009) using Praat (Version 2.2.01 - 2021). In the quantitative part, a questionnaire is conducted via Google Forms, including 41 MA and PhD students from the Department of English at the College of Art, the College of Education, and the College of Basic Education at the University of Mosul. A quasi-experimental design is employed with pre and post-tests involving 400 fifth preparatory students. It has been found that Iraqi EFL textbooks include different types and subtypes of speech acts, such as directives, expressives, assertives, and commissives, with no declarations. The findings show that various audiovisual elements such as gestures, facial expressions, signs, and prosodic features indicate the illocutionary forces of utterances. The findings also reveal the ability of images to express image acts without verbal utterances, and the match between speech and image acts depends on the explicitness of their elements in the context. Moreover, audio elements affect males' and females’ pragmatic competence equally, while visual elements impact females more than males. Finally, students of the scientific and literary branches are affected similarly. The study concludes that English for Iraq textbooks focus on pragmatic aspects of language teaching in Iraq, exposing students to various speech acts, types, and subtypes. Various audiovisual elements indicate the illocutionary force of utterances. Audiovisual elements impact students’ pragmatic competence, with statistical differences between males and females on the one hand and no statistical difference between students of the scientific and literary branches on the other hand.

Abstract: Books blurbs are considered as an individual genre, which has its own communicative purposes and linguistic features. More specifically, books blurbs are identified as a hybrid genre that belongs to a colony of promotional (advertising) genre. The main purpose of such a genre is not only to provide the prospective reader with information about what the book is about but it evaluates the quality of the book to make it more attractive to buy The current study aims to investigate the ways in which science books blurbs differ from or similar to literature books blurbs. It also aims to investigate the generic structure of books blurbs in terms of moves. Furthermore, this study explores the linguistics and what kinds of lexogrammar features are used in science and literature books blurbs. To meet these aims, this study focuses on fourteen science blurbs in different disciplines involving (Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Medicine, Biology, Computer Science and Agriculture) and fourteen literature books blurbs in four different disciplines involving (Novel, Drama, Poetry and literary criticism). These blurbs are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The data are analyzed by adopting Gea-Valor (2005) classifications of generic structure in terms of moves and linguistic features to identify the communicative purposes of books blurbs genre. In addition, Halliday’s transitivity system (2004) is adopted to analyze lexogrammar features for the purpose of identifying the communicative conventions of books blurbs genre. It has been hypothesized that science and literature books blurbs have a typical scheme of generic (rhetorical) structure and purposes. In addition, Blurbs are more promotional in nature than informational. Furthermore, science books II blurbs are longer; employ more familiar language when they are compared with literature books blurbs. The major findings revealed that, the variability between science and literature books blurbs is not highly marked, this imposes the controlled dynamism and flexibility in the integrity of books blurbs genre. Books blurbs are structured into different moves; each move performs a particular function. Different linguistic strategies are employed in science and literature books blurbs but imperative constructions are rarely used in science blurbs, it has been found only in computer science discipline while they are absent in literature blurbs. The texts of science books blurbs are longer than literature books blurbs. Science and literature books blurbs have the same tendencies in applying transitivity systems. Simple present and active voice are the dominant structures in both disciplines.

Abstract: Language plays a vital role in communicating and transmitting information between people, as well as in performing several other important functions, deception being one of them from a biological point of view. The importance of this study in linguistics is related to the wide social use of deception, and to the fact that it is one of the very important themes in literature. However, this field of research did not get what it deserved in research and study. This Pragmatic study aims to explore the theatrical texts of the two historical periods (15thand 20th centuries) in English literature by comparing them to highlight how the authors of poetic theatrical texts use the pragmatic aspects of language such as speech act theory and how to override the Grice principle in order to achieve certain social goals. This study is designed to explore the linguistic features of deception in the Elizabethan era (Shakespeare’s Hamlet) and the twentieth century (Elliot’s Murder in the Cathedral) by comparing the deception methods used in both of them from the standpoint of the theory of pragmatics. The researcher hypothesized that the text of Hamlet uses deceptive language more than the text of Murder in the Cathedral. The second hypothesis is that Grices cooperative principle is overridden in terms of the quality and the manner maxims more than the quantity and the relevance maxims in both plays. The research method adopted in this study is qualitative and quantitative, as it is done by analyzing the selected literary theatrical texts according to the Grice’s cooperative principle and the speech act theory. Then the extracted results are compared quantitatively and qualitatively. This thesis is organized into five chapters. The first chapter reviews the research problem, its objectives, limitations, and significance. The second chapter deals with the theoretical side of the topic and introduces the concept of deception, its types, and its relation to the theory of speech acts and Grice’s cooperative principle. It also sheds light on the most important aspects of linguistic studies developed for the investigation of deceptive methods. The third chapter sets forth a general overview of the selected data. It also presents the model of analysis adopted in this study. The fourth chapter provides data analysis via the model adopted for the poetic theatrical texts that were offered in the previous chapter. The comparative discussion of the results obtained validate that plays in the Elizabethan era employ more deceptive strategies than the plays in the Twentieth Century era. Moreover, the discussion of the results validates that the quality and the manner maxims are more flouted than other Grice’s maxims in both eras. The fifth chapter outlines a summary of the findings obtained in the previous chapter. It also offers pedagogical implications and provides proposals for future research. Finally, a review of the sources used in the study is provided.
