The ambition of this paper is to enrich the literature on translation with new examples of emotiveness by pointing out the expected problem areas when translating emotive expressions.
This paper gives translators and readers an example of how to look atĮmotiveness in the Arabic language by studying the main sources of emotiveness. The paper illustrates major problems emerging while translating between Arabic and English, two distant language and two different cultures. Arabic language is well known for being eloquent, expressive, clear, rich, rational, scientific, flexible, and emotive all at once and in many ways. Emotiveness might be of a particular importance for Arabic readers, because words carry a great deal of emotional content either in themselves or in the context they are imbedded in. This paper addresses the translatability of Emotiveness in the Arabic language which is a very expressive language. A remarkable look at a post-war scientific and technological revolution, Beyond the Box is a rewarding study of how behavioral theories met real-life problems, and the ways in which Skinner and his followers continue to influence the present. To detail their innovative methods, Rutherford uses extensive archival materials and interviews to study the Skinnerians’ creation of human behavior laboratories, management programs for juvenile delinquents, psychiatric wards, and prisons, as well as their influence on the self-help industry with popular books on how to quit smoking, lose weight, and be more assertive. Using selected case studies, Alexandra Rutherford provides a fascinating account of Skinner and his acolytes’ attempts to weave their technology of human behavior into the politically turbulent fabric of 1950s-70s American life. Beyond the Box is the first full-length study of the ways in which Skinner’s ideas left the laboratory to become part of the post-war public’s everyday lives, and chronicles both the enthusiasm and caution with which this process was received. A best-selling author, inventor, and social commentator, Skinner was both a renowned scientist and a public intellectual known for his controversial theories of human behavior. Skinner (1904-1990) is one of the most famous and influential figures in twentieth century psychology. So, drawing on biosemiotics, Tartu-Moscow semiotics, and Peircean semiotic principles, and through a close reading of the celebrated 2011 Internet meme Rebecca Black’s Friday, this article proposes a working outline for the definition of internet memes and its applicability for the semiotic analysis of texts in new media communication.ī.F. Internet memes can and should be conceived, then, as habit-inducing sign systems incorporating processes involving asymmetrical variation. While supporting a precise and discursive framework for internet memes, semiotic readings reconfigure contemporary formulations to the – now-established – conception of memes. Yet Peircean semiotics and biosemiotics can challenge this doctrine of information transmission. The science of memes, dubbed ‘memetics’, presumes that memes remain “copying units” following the popularisation of the concept in Richard Dawkins’ celebrated work, The Selfish Gene (1976). This article argues for a clearer framework of internet-based “memes”. King Salman wears the traditional Saudi dress and the American and Saudi flags are behind them. It was taken in the palace of King Salman and shows Trump bowing to King Salman to be awarded a golden medal. The second signified ridicules Trump, who is depicted as a good political negotiator and an economist who could do anything for the sake of money. Trump rejected this invitation by King Salman at first but when the King told him that Saudi Arabia will offer him 110 billion US Dollars in the form of weapons, Trump could not resist.
a dialogue between King Salman and Trump about Trump's visit to Saudi Arabi. a) Top text: The caption above the image represents the first signified i.e. King Salman requests Trump to come over but the latter said that he could not since Saudis have been accused of being the executers of the terrorist events of 9/11. The English text displays dialogue between King Salman and Trump. As seen in the figure, this meme includes English text with an image of Trump and King Salman.
