Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Engineering - Robotics, grade: 100, , language: English, abstract: This paper is about a new trend in Stylistics called “Robotic Stylistics” whose subject matter is the linguistic outcome of robots. It investigates the possibility of making the robotic linguistic outcome the subject matter of stylistics, since robots are able to choose what they want to say due to their algorithms that enable them to make a choice. The field of artificial intelligence has developed and prospered in the recent years and entered the linguistic domain introducing a whole new sub-discipline of linguistics knows as Computational Linguistics. It helps linguists increase their knowledge of how the human brain works and how it processes language. Robotic stylistics will be concerned with the analysis and study of the style of robotic linguistic outcome using the same linguistic techniques that are used in the ordinary stylistic investigation of human literary and non-literary texts in order to discover the kind of style a robot has, how recurrent it is, and what it reveals about robots or artificial intelligence in general. However, there are many problems in this field especially in the case of obtaining the adequate data for analysis.
What should be the place of Shari‘a—Islamic religious law—in predominantly Muslim societies of the world? In this ambitious and topical book, a Muslim scholar and human rights activist envisions a positive and sustainable role for Shari‘a, based on a profound rethinking of the relationship between religion and the secular state in all societies. An-Na‘im argues that the coercive enforcement of Shari‘a by the state betrays the Qur’an’s insistence on voluntary acceptance of Islam. Just as the state should be secure from the misuse of religious authority, Shari‘a should be freed from the control of the state. State policies or legislation must be based on civic reasons accessible to citizens of all religions. Showing that throughout the history of Islam, Islam and the state have normally been separate, An-Na‘im maintains that ideas of human rights and citizenship are more consistent with Islamic principles than with claims of a supposedly Islamic state to enforce Shari‘a. In fact, he suggests, the very idea of an “Islamic state” is based on European ideas of state and law, and not Shari‘a or the Islamic tradition. Bold, pragmatic, and deeply rooted in Islamic history and theology, Islam and the Secular State offers a workable future for the place of Shari‘a in Muslim societies.
Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Speech Science / Linguistics, grade: 100, Thi-Qar University, language: English, abstract: This study intends to investigate language performance and impairment elicited in the speech sample of some Iraqi patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. The aim of this study is to see whether Alzheimer’s disease affects patients’ language, and if so, what areas of language it affects. In addition, it inspects and explains both language performance and impairment of Alzheimer’s patients during the disease. It is hypothesized that Alzheimer’s patients suffer from sound substitution and omission on the phonological level, that the patients’ language is affected on both the denotative and connotative sides, that the patients break the rules of turn taking when they engage in conversations, and that Alzheimer’s patients then suffer from language impairment in these areas. The prominent outcome of this study is that Alzheimer’s patients suffer from language impairment in the phonological, semantic, and pragmatic areas of language.
