The phenomenon of contextual syntactic deviation has attracted a great deal of attention from linguists and rhetoricians. It is a linguistic phenomenon associated with the change of meaning that occurs when the established pattern in the grammatical rules is deviated from. In other words, it refers to a displacement or change in the linguistic structure or sentence structure. This deviation is justified by the context, and it is an intentional deviation that aims to give the literary text - of all its types - new meanings that are rhetorically directed to cause a psychological impact on the recipient. This phenomenon is one of the common phenomena in many languages, including the Arabic language. It can manifest in any type of words, including nouns, verbs, adjectives, and others. The degree of contextual syntactic deviation is determined by the context of speech and the grammatical relationships between the words in the sentence. This deviation can occur due to certain grammatical factors such as fronting and postposing, ellipsis, apostrophe, and parenthesis.

This study explores the opinions of ancient and contemporary critics on the issues related to Arabic prose. Given the importance of all forms of Arabic prose in the development of the Arab though and the development of Islamic civilization, this analytic-descriptive research aims to analyze the opinions of these critics about prose and also seeks to compare their critical opinions.

On the contrary, contemporary critics believe that prose is the origin of science and thought and the language of civilization, society, science, culture, and politics. They have examined prose-related issues from various viewpoints, which is a clear distinction between them and their predecessors.

The present research paper aims at studying the concept of pleonasm in English which is defined as the repetition of the same idea by utilising the two or more diverse words within the same sentence such as," I saw with my own eyes"," I heard with my own ears". The data is taken from a number of interviews with two politicians whose native languages are English and Arabic. Two interviews are selected; one for the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair in 2004 and the other one is for the former Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Alawi also in 2004. The study has concluded that the redundancy of words found in the analysed Arabic and English political speeches is apparent in the sense that the words used in both texts are really superfluous and useless. However, these words seem to be sometimes necessary to emphasise or clarify a particular idea depending on the culture of the speakers and receivers of such words. The analyses also have revealed that the presence of superfluous words in the speech of some characters is a matter of style and is a part of the speaker's character.

The purpose of this research is to explore Saudi early childhood special education (ECSE) teachers' attitudes towards professional development programs in ECSE. For this reason, survey data was obtained from 30 Saudi ECSE teachers who worked in Saudi Arabian early childhood stages, and then an interview was conducted with five of them to find out their training needs and the challenges they face. The researchers used the qualitative technique, which included a pre-survey and interviews. An online questionnaire was provided to the participants in order to examine their impressions of the professional development programs and assess their judgments of the success of these programs. The findings indicated teachers' positive impressions of these programs, as they regard them as useful tools that can help them get their teaching license. Therefore, participants perceived professional development programs to be valuable and capable of assisting and improving their teaching skills. These findings imply that prioritizing professional development programs for early childhood teachers in Saudi Arabia may result in greater proficiency as well as the capacity to overcome the requisite teaching license. The research ends with recommendations for further research on how to improve professional development programs to better fulfill the necessities of teachers.

In recent years, global university rankings have gained popularity as a means of evaluating the quality of higher education institutions because they provide valuable insights into the best institutions around the globe; therefore, employers, academics, and students use this ranking to decide from where to hire new employees, where to pursue higher education, and where to conduct research. This holds true for Iraqi universities as well, as they strive to assess their standing and competitiveness on a global scale. In this study, the findings of Baghdad and Babylon universities in the Times Ranking are analyzed and compared. Additionally, the factors, that affected their ranking, over six years (2017-2022) are also examined. This study aims to shed light on the advantages and disadvantages of every educational institution by analyzing a variety of variables, including teaching, international outputs, industry outcome, quality of research, academic performance metrics, and citations. It also strives to identify the features that set each one apart from the others. In order to conduct a comparative analysis, this study use the data of the Times World University Rankings, which is regarded as one of the most trustworthy and that provide accurate indicators of any university performance and Elsevier's Scopus databases. The results of this study point out areas for development and give legislators, administrators, and prospective students a thorough grasp of the major factors affecting these two universities’ rankings.

Bilingualism has become an increasingly common phenomenon in today’s globalized world, with many children growing up exposed to two or more languages. As a result, there has been growing interest among researchers in understanding the impact of bilingualism on thinking development in young and children. Some studies have confirmed that bilingualism can have a positive effect on children’s perception cognitive development, particularly in the zones of attention control, operational memory, and cognitive flexibility. Dual-language learners may also have better planning and organization skills, such as task-switching and inhibitory control, compared to monolingual children. These cognitive advantages may be due to the cognitive demands of managing two languages, which can lead to increased cognitive flexibility and problem-solving skills. Research also has indicated that bilinguals may experience interference or facilitation effects in lexical access, depending on the degree of overlap between the two languages. However, other studies have failed to find a significant effect of bilingualism on cognitive development. Some researchers have suggested that the there is a strong relationship between bilingual individuals and their cognitive development which may depend on a variety of factors, such as the age at which a child begins to learn a second language , and the amount he learns from each language , socio-economic background of the child and, level of proficiency that a person has in each language can affect their cognitive and linguistic abilities. Despite mixed guidance, potential benefits of bilingualism on cognitive development have important implications for both policy and education. Those in charge should consider designing specific educational programs for children from linguistically diverse backgrounds to help enhance their cognitive development.
