An Analysis of Partial and Complete Semantic Losses in Arthur John Arberry's Translation of Some Joseph Surah Verses and a Proposal for Solutions
type: item
description: Semantic loss in the Target Text (TT) can happen in over-translation, under-translation and mistranslation, resulted either in partial or complete loss of meaning in the TT. This phenomenon is resulted from both non-equivalence in the TL for some linguistic and cultural elements in SL, and the translators' inability to find the suitable TL equivalents. The main goal of the present study is to discover the partial and complete semantic losses, analyzing their causes in the English translation of Joseph Surah by the translator Arthur John Arberry. The research design is descriptive qualitative and comparative through using descriptive content analysis for some words in the Joseph Surah, then comparing them with the translated words to detect both partial and complete loss of translation. The Arabic meanings of the selected words are to be identified by using the classical exegetical works of Ibn Kather and Al-Sa'di interpretive books for Qur'ān. Baker's (2011) Model of non-equivalence was used to identify the causes of semantic loss of translation. For this purpose, (14) samples of verses were extracted from Joseph Surah and were qualitatively analyzed. After analyzing these samples (10) of them were found out as partial semantic losses, and (4) others were complete semantic losses. The findings showed frequent partial losses due to the narrowing of the Arabic Qur'ānic words, and few complete semantic losses of meanings mostly due to mistranslations, semantic complexity of the vocabularies, and culture.

Influence of Modern Machine Translation on Vocabulary Learning among Yemeni EFL Learners
type: item
description: Vocabulary is looked as a foundational building block upon which all other language skills are constructed. The present study aimed to investigate the influence of modern machine translation on vocabulary learning among Yemeni English as a foreign language (hereafter, EFL) learners. The two main questions in the study were: (1) How common is machine translation used for vocabulary learning in EFL classes? (2) What is the influence of modern machine translation on vocabulary learning? The study adopted the quantitative correlational explanatory design. The population of this study were Yemeni EFL learners in the English Language Department, Faculty of Education, Thamar University in the academic year 2024-2025. The sample of this study consisted of 50 students of second, third, and fourth levels, the study used a questionnaire to collect data and the design was a close-ended questionnaire. The questionnaire was analyzed through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) programme. Thefindings of this study revealed that the participants heavily utilized machine translation for quick vocabulary comprehension and contextual learning, often trying independent strategies first. While they found machine translation useful for idioms and complex texts, and generally trust its accuracy, participants worried that machine translation might lead to inaccurate knowledge, overreliance, and rote memorization.

The Role and Identity of Posteditors in the Age of Machine Translation
type: item
description: The translation industry is currently undergoing a dramatic transformation due to the emergence of Machine Translation (MT). While MT offers efficiency, it often neglects the subtle cultural sensitivities and stylistic nuances of human language, leading to the rise of the "posteditor" as a vital collaborator in the workflow. This study examines the evolving role and identity of posteditors in the current age of advanced MT technology. It specifically explores the multifaceted tasks and responsibilities posteditors perform and investigates how they perceive their own professional identity within the shifting translation landscape. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating qualitative and quantitative data collection. This includes unstructured interviews with 20 professional posteditors to capture lived experiences and a structured questionnaire with 20 participants to identify broader statistical trends and task patterns. The results reveal that the posteditor’s role has transitioned from a mechanical "cleanup crew" to a strategic partner. Key responsibilities now encompass high-level cognitive activities, including terminological precision, stylistic refinement, and cultural mediation. Data reflect a fluid identity positioned at the intersection of human creativity and automated efficiency, requiring a hybrid skillset that balances technical MT knowledge with deep linguistic mastery. The study concludes that the future of the profession lies in human-machine synergy, where the human expert remains the final arbiter of quality and ethical oversight. Recommendations are offered for developing specialized training curricula and formalizing "posteditor" as a distinct, valued professional category to ensure the sustainability of the human element in the digital supply chain.

Meaning Loss in Translating News Headlines from Arabic into English with reference to Al hayat International Journal
type: item
description: This paper is aimed at analyzing the translation of newspaper headlines from Arabic into English. The paper highlights the semantic, cultural, and linguistic problems that a translator may encounter while translating news headlines. The corpus of the study consists of a set of headlines of news articles collected from the online Arabic and English editions of Al hayat newspaper. From the analysis, the researcher found out that there is some kind of meaning loss when translating Arabic news headlines into English. This meaning loss was found to be due to the semantic, cultural, and linguistic differences between Arabic and English. The paper is a modest contribution in the sense that it tackles these differences, and it ends up with some recommendations to improve the quality of translation in the field of media in general and in the field of news translation in particular.

The Syntax and Semantics of wala ‘and not’ in Yemeni Arabic
type: item
description: This paper examines the negative quantifier wala ‘and not’ in Yemeni Arabic. It focuses on two main aspects: the negative and emphatic behavior of wala. Wala can express both sentential and constituent negation based on its position in the sentence and it is always associated with a focus feature. Examining those aspects syntactically, it is shown that in Yemeni Arabic wala behaves differently from wala in the other varieties of Arabic to some extent, i.e. wala can be followed by a verb phrase, a noun phrase as well as a prepositional phrase. Therefore, I argue that wala does not have strict lexical selectional properties. Further, it is found out that any element follows wala must be associated with a focus feature and those elements are moved from their original position to a position that occurs below wala phrase. I assume that wala selects a focus phrase that appears immediately below it where various phrasal and lexical categories can occur. The paper also highlights several syntactic and semantic aspects of wala and discusses some of the previous accounts. Finally, I provide a unified analysis to all these aspects within the generative grammar framework especially Chomsky (2001); and Pesetsky and Torrego (2007).

Students' Achievement and Characteristics of an Effective English Language Teacher as Perceived by Yemeni English Teachers and Students of English
type: item
description: The purpose of this research paper is to check the relationship between teacher characteristics and students’ achievement as perceived by Yemeni English teachers and students of English. It focuses on the teachers' characteristics such as their qualifications, their teaching experience, and the students'achievement in the Department of English at the Faculty of Education /Aden, and the Department of English at the Faculty of Education/ Saber, and the Faculty of Languages/ Aden. To collect the relevant data of the topic, a questionnaire was administrated to 10 teachers of English and 60 students in the Departments of English at the Faculty of Education/ Aden, and the Faculty of Languages at Aden University. Moreover, the records of the second semester examinations results of the students at the third level in the academic year 2013-2014 in three subjects (i.e. Linguistics, ELT Methodology, and Translation) were used as an indication and evidence of the direct impact of the teachers' characteristics on students' performance. Data were analyzed using the SPSS programme. The findings in this study, which are in line with findings from many other studies, do support a significant relationship between the students' achievement and characteristics of an effective English language teacher. This research paper contributes to the understanding of how students perceived the characteristics of English teachers. In addition, it is expected that the findings will contribute to the field of teaching English at the university level by reflecting the importance of some characteristics that affect the students' achievement.
