| Synonyms as the Semantic Component of Conversion | Author : Laila Sahib Gadimova | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Conversion is very common in modern English. The main condition for the formation of a new language unit through conversion is the change of the syntactic function of the word, which is observed by the change of meaning. It is sometimes necessary to change the basic syntactic environment that is needed for conversion. A word formed by the conversion takes all the inflectional forms of the part of the language to which it belongs. Conversion, as a means of forming verbs and nouns, has become one of the characteristic features of the English language since the XIII century. The conversion formed as a result of the collapse of the inflectional system at the beginning of the Central Asian period. From 1150, a number of derivative verbs formed by conversion from adjectives appeared, and from the 13th-15th centuries, verbs derived from adverbs and participles appeared. In the Middle English period, until about the 15th century, the formation of verbs from nouns and adjectives significantly decreased due to the emergence of a large number of nouns and verbs borrowed from French. The grammatical homonymy of many English verbs and nouns resulting from the loss of inflection was only one of the prerequisites for the emergence of conversion as a new way of word formation. |

| Nicknames as Emotionally Evaluative Social Identity Carriers | Author : Oksana Nikolenko | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The paper analyzes the social pragmatic and emotionally expressive functions of nicknames. We identify nicknames as emotives, the lexemes that can be applied to one of the emotion categories. This study demonstrates that nicknames are semantically related to basic emotions models (Pride, Disgust). Positive and negative emotions are an integral function of the existence of a human as a whole spiritual personality and as a biological species. Emotional meanings that reflect basic human emotions are universal, and their manifestation in nicknames lexical nominations vary with degrees of depth and different pragmatic aspects. Emotion lexemes express positive or negative emotional evaluation, the subjective determination of the objects status, emotionally expressive approving or disapproving of somebody or something. Estimating the activities of others and expressing emotional evaluation, subjects of nicknames nominations intend to influence human behavior by specifying the recipient at risk to become the object of public condemnation and social disapproval, and mockery. The main reason for nicknames formation in the English language is the perception of the environment by a person both positively and negatively – socially-evaluated. Reflecting the general culture of English society and culture within the individual, in particular, nicknames create socio-cultural symbols, and cultural universals, indicating the traditions of people, habits, lifestyles, tastes, and ideas. |

| Unravelling the Gbeklug of the Subanens through the Lens of their Folk Narratives | Author : Haydee D. Villanueva, Nelia G. Balgoa | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Folk narratives are rich repositories of the cultures of Indigenous peoples. For example, the Subanens in the Zamboanga Peninsula, Mindanao, Philippines, have several folk narratives that can shed light on their material and non-material cultures. This ethnographic study explored the gbatad (culture) of the Subanens, as depicted in the folk narratives called the gukitan or sinugel. The studys research locales were the municipalities of Katipunan and Mutia in Zamboanga del Norte and San Miguel and Lakewood in Zamboanga del Sur. A first-hand gathering of the folk narratives was conducted to produce a corpus of folk narratives as the primary data from which the Subanen gbatad was identified. Actual narrations were done by the tribal leaders and select tribesmen who served as the key informants of the study. In addition, focus group discussions were made to elicit the cultural underpinnings of the narratives. The research resulted in the gathering, transcriptions, and translations of 79 narratives, in which two of them talked about a gbeklug, the most sacred communal gathering among the sub-groups of the Subanens in the Zamboanga Peninsula. Gbeklug, which stands prominently as a marker of the cultural identity of these Indigenous people, requires strict adherence to the process and the materials needed for the construction of the gbeklugan (platform). The performance of such a grand festivity demands utmost caution from all people in attendance. |

| Absolute Competence of Religious Jurisdiction in Deciding Cases of Zakat Violation through the Sharia Court in Aceh Indonesia | Author : Sri Endah Wahyuningsih, Muhammad Redha Valevi, Anis Mashdurohatun | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The Law on Religious Courts regulates zakat for the needs of Muslims who are Muslim. However, in an area which is a special region of Aceh Province which has a special territory in implementing Islamic syariyah, the area has a qanun to regulate zakat. The deficiencies in this qanun do not specifically regulate Zakat Corruption Crime Cases. The purpose of this research is to analyze and find the absolute competency regulations of the religious courts in deciding criminal cases against the misappropriation of zakat managers through the Shari ah Court in Aceh Province which have not been based on the value of justice; And to analyze and find weaknesses in the regulation of the absolute competence of the religious courts in deciding criminal cases against the misappropriation of zakat managers through the Sharia Court in Aceh Province at this time; This type of empirical juridical research is more suitable for social-legal studies regarding Islamic law applied in Aceh. The approach used is a qualitative approach using Field Research. Based on the results of the juridical analysis: First, the absolute competency regulation of the religious courts in Aceh, known as the Syariah Court, still does not have the authority to decide criminal cases against the misappropriation of zakat managers. According to the researcher, it is necessary to add letters to the articles contained in the relevant laws and qanuns regarding cases of zakat corruption, because their understanding comes from the Al-Quran, Sunnah, and the opinion of Ulama. Weaknesses in the regulation of the absolute competence of the religious courts in proposing that criminal cases against misappropriation of zakat managers can be handed over to the Sharia Court, because it can be seen from the website that there is still a lack of openness of the Baitul Mal Institution to report finances in the form of income, expenditure and these funds will be channeled to the right person , so that the Sharia Court is needed in resolving the zakat problem if there is an abuse of the distribution of zakat. |

| Investigation and Perspective on the Construction of Language Landscape in Scenic Spots of Ancient Cities: Take the Juguo Ancient City in China as an Example | Author : Ping Nie, Ying Guo, Zihan Qiu | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :As China gradually enters the era of mass tourism, peoples tourism consumption demand has changed from low-level and focusing on sightseeing to high-quality, diversified and leisure vacations, which puts forward more requirements for the deep, connotational and high-quality development of tourism. Given that the research on language landscape in tourism is still relatively insufficient, this study tries to investigate the construction of the language landscape in the Juguo ancient city in Shandong Province from the perspective of the tourism language landscape in China. The study found that the language signs in the scenic area are mainly monolingual signs, supplemented by bilingual and trilingual signs; There are three languages in the scenic spot, Chinese, English and Korean, among which Chinese is the priority code, while English and Korean are marginalized codes in the scenic spot language landscape. The management department of scenic spots plays a decisive role in constructing language landscapes, but the business operators have not yet realized the economic value of language landscapes. There are problems in constructing the tourism language landscape in scenic spots, such as insufficient construction of a diversified language landscape, non-standard translation of language signs, and lack of design sense and characteristics of signs. In the future, scenic spot management departments should pay attention to the value of language landscape construction, meet the multilingual needs of tourists, highlight the style and characteristics of language landscape, and regularly carry out language landscape investigation and updates. |
| Lived Experiences of Post Graduate Diploma in Education Students During the Covid 19 Pandemic | Author : Constance Chifamba, Aaronias Matshisela, Christinah Dlamini, John Masundulwani | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This phenomenological study was carried out in order to explore the lived experiences of Post Graduate Diploma in Education students on the strengths and weaknesses of the program during the Covid 19 Pandemic. It also aimed at mapping up the way forward based on what works in the light of the new normal. The inception of the Covid 19 Pandemic resulted in sudden disruptions in most national systems including the educational systems in Zimbabwe. The Government responded to the pandemic with lockdowns, travel restrictions and social distancing. Within the tertiary education realm, the teacher training system was among those that were hard-hit because the teacher education program includes both theoretical and practical components. The practical component is the teaching practice, the hands-on experience that is significant to the student teachers. This meant that the nationally enforced COVID 19 restrictions would need adjustments in and restructuring of the pedagogical activities and practices that complied with the COVID 19 restrictions. Such strategies included adopting e-learning on various virtual platforms. Both teachers and students had to upscale their computer technology skills as fast as possible in order meet the demands and duration of the program. The study adopted a qualitative approach and thematic analysis was used to categorize responses. Five major themes emerged from the data collected as follows: Financial constraints, poor and unreliable internet connectivity: capitalizing on strengths of the program: students developed coping strategies and COVID 19 experience as a learning curve. The recommendation is a total embrace of the new normal by institutions of higher learning. In addition, the study also recommends that crisis preparedness and adequate student orientation are very necessary for smooth running PGDE program. |

Three emerging themes reflect the lived experiences of the participants:work gives them a feeling of fulfillment; inclusion in the workplace and freedom to enjoy all the rights and benefits of a regular employee significantly boost their morale and independence in the performance of assignments.Generally,their acceptance in the workplace keeps them going and inspires them to keep thinking on how to better their job performance under an environment where people do not see them as different individuals. They allow themselves to be productive just as anyone else in the workplace. They perform their work independently and they don’t see any reason to rely on others. They claim that the quality of work they render reflect their true capabilities. |
| Comparative Literature and Translation Studies: Approaching an Understanding Between the Two | Author : Dr. Farhin Jahan | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Comparative literature cannot be thought of as ignoring translation. Instead, translation studies are more critical for comparative literature, as every word has several connotations for various cultures. Through translation, works of literature can influence each other, and people come closer to other cultures and understand others better. Most Indian readers, through the intermediary of translation, get access to the works of Goethe, Tolstoy, Balzac, Shakespeare, Gorky and many more. Translation studies as a subject have greater scope across the globe. Different Indian universities have started running degree or diploma courses in translation studies, and the new generation is attracted to it. Several public or private organisations need translators as public relations officers in their offices. This paper needs to consider the vital role translation plays in the broader literary phenomenon to demonstrate the impossibility of the general theory of literature. The circulation of texts and readings of world literature is only possible through translation, not as canonical literary texts. The paper explores translational studies role in defining literature as a space between the source and receiving cultures and examines the comparative relationship literature has with translation studies. |

| Game-Based Learning Approach in Science Education: A Meta-Analysis | Author : Gertrodez S. Cadiz, Gisselle Joy R. Lacre, Ranzely L. Delamente, Tomas Jr A. Diquito | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :In the generation of technological advancement, students tend to have difficulty learning science education since it encompasses numerous fields, making it challenging for students to assimilate knowledge about the topic. An approach called game-based learning exhibits positive results in students academic performance where teachers integrate a learning approach for students to engage and motivate them throughout the learning process. Since there is a lack of empirical evidence, this metaanalysis study conducted a systematic literature review that seeks to know the methods, theoretical foundations, and educational outcomes of game-based learning in science education. This study includes a document analysis of 26 empirical literature studies from 2016 to 2021. Significant findings include that (1) most articles employed quasi-experimental research design, (2) most empirical studies utilized strategy games as the game genre, (3) most learning theories associated with science game-based learning are rooted in constructivism, and (4) most commonly observed science game-based learning outcomes focus on knowledge attainment among reviewed empirical literature. Significant findings imply that game-based learning is effective and can become productive for students in science learning. |
| Modelling the Gross Domestic Product and the Per Capita Income of Türkiye using Autoregressive Deep Learning Networks | Author : Dr. Cagatay Tuncsiper | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The gross domestic product and the per capita income are leading indicators regarding the income and the wealth of nations. The gross domestic product and the per capita income can be modelled dependent on various econometric data such as the export revenue, tourism revenue, trade deficit and the industrial revenue. In this work, an alternative and novel method is presented for the modelling of the gross domestic product and the per capita income. In this study, the gross domestic product and the per capita income are modelled autoregressively employing deep learning networks namely autoregressive deep learning networks. The input data of the developed deep learning networks are taken as the past values of the modelled variable making the deep learning networks effectively autoregressive models. As application examples of the autoregressive deep learning models, the gross domestic product and the per capita income data of Türkiye for the period of 1960-2021 are separately modelled. The autoregressive deep learning networks are developed in Python programming language. The coefficient of determination (R2), mean absolute error (MAE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and the root mean square error (RMSE) of the developed models are also computed. The plots of the results of the developed autoregressive deep learning models and the performance metrics of the models show that the developed autoregressive deep learning models can be utilized to accurately model the gross domestic product and the per capita income. |

| The Development and Assessment of Critical Listening Skills in the Speech Program | Author : Ahmed Basyoni – Graeme Medd | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Critical listening is comparing what is heard to some standard or cognitive evidence. The creative listener analyses the statements and facts throughout this process to generate critical judgments. This highly intentional endeavor requires a questioning and analytical mentality to conclude or act on the judgments formed through creative listening. The capacity to make knowledgeable judgments while hearing analytically to discern both qualities and faults is the goal of critical listening. The main goal is pedagogical and concerns designing and testing a tool that could measure students’ critical listening skill improvement during a speech course program. A total number of N = 170 learners participated in qualitative-experimental studies in which we developed a t-test and program to develop and assess critical listening skills. Results show that students’ listening skills improved in specific aspects of critical listening at both times. Effects were more significant in the second round due to adjustments to the program curriculum and the assessment tool. Results support the impact of the intervention by modest to high effect sizes and the construct validity of the assessment tool. We consider the improvement found in the current study a vital beginning and recommend that listening skills become an integral part of the curriculum at the undergraduate level. It would be essential to do a follow-up measurement to verify if the learners retain the critical listening skills beyond the current course and use their spontaneously inappropriate real-life situations. |

| Discourse Analysis of the Editorials of Local Newspapers in Bacolod City | Author : Jansen P. Tumabing | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This study aimed to describe syntactically and semantically the editorials of local newspapers in Bacolod City. The corpora included nine editorials from the three local newspaper publications published from August to November 2016. The extracts of each editorial were analyzed using Swales (1990) CARS model to find out the organizational moves used. It was found that the most prevalent move was Move 2, which was optional since obligatory and optional moves are based on the cut-off frequency of 60 percent occurrence as a measure of move stability (Muangsamai, 2018). Moreover, the most prevalent among Flowerdew’s (2002) Signalling Nouns [Halliday and Hassan’s (1976) General Nouns] was change with six occurrences. Among Halliday and Hassan’s (1976) four Conjunctive Relations, the additive type prevailed with 138 occurrences; and, with 125. As for the Modal Verbs of Roberts and fellow authors (2010), can transpired the most with twenty-two counts. In terms of Flowerdew’s (1993) Concordances, people was the most prevalent, with eight concordances on the left, namely where, their, a, but if, and the, as well as six concordances on the right, look, care, cam, cooperate, Power, and – Negrenses. This study adopted the protocol by Pilar (2014), which states that the independent coders are at least a masters in English or have researched Discourse Analysis and Contrastive Rhetoric to achieve a high-reliability level. The results were thoroughly analyzed, described, and discussed individually. Hence, it can be concluded that editorial writers in Bacolod City express their argument by stating the problems of the target issue since they focus on a better change for the citizens by proposing possible solutions. Therefore, students should be taught significant lexical items and the organization of arguments. The results of this study may serve as the basis for an intervention program that would develop the editorial writing skill of students. |

The content of the regulation is a decrease in the threshold for exemption from import duties and taxes in the context of imports from USD75 to USD 3 or around IDR 45,000. Implementation in Batam and other areas is very different, this is because Batam is a Free Trade Zone area, so this regulation is the basis for the people of Batam when they want to send goods from Batam to other areas in Indonesia. Goods above IDR 45,000 when shipped from Batam to other areas in Indonesia will be subject to import duty and tax in the framework of import. The problem approach used is normative-empirical approach, where the activity can be observed clearly, whether the community has behaved in accordance with the rules. For 3 years this regulation has been implemented in Batam, this regulation has been effective in carrying out its tax regulerend function, which is to protect the national interest in connection with the increase of imported goods and encourage the growth of small and medium industries, however, this regulation still experiences obstacles due to the low level of public understanding of the Free Trade Zone area, so that the purpose of implementing this regulation is not clearly conveyed and the public also feels objections when sending goods from Batam to other regions in Indonesia, because the goods sent from Batam are not all imported goods. |
