Religion in its general and simplified form is defined as a set of values or moral laws, which include provisions that people should follow to organize their affairs and ratify that they are provisions sent from the divine.
The concept of religion is not limited to the narrower sense represented by the performance of the virtual rituals of worship and religious fashions, etc., but also includes all the moral and spiritual values, conduct and good dealing that reflect the true essence of religion, which boils down to a set of values – such as sincerity, honesty and dedication to work, merciful dealing and compassion, etc. All religions agree on the moral content of religion. The Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (peace be upon him) said in a hadith that: “God does not look at your photos and money, but look into your hearts and your deeds”. As the Prophet Jesus (Isa in Islam) (peace be upon him) said: “blessed are those of the pure hearts, they bear witness to God.” However, in the present day religion is measured only by its external shape. Lots of thinkers and writers have rebelled against this narrow vision of religion and insisted that religion is an essence rather than appearance. Among these is the English writer and novelist Graham Greene (1904-1991) who, despite the stigma of atheism, did not stray far from the soul of religion. In his novel, The Heart of the Matter (1948) Greene tries, through his protagonist, to pinpoint what the heart of religion is.

We have studied in this research litter (Taa) a morphological , sonic indicative and comparative study among four Semitic languages. They are Arabic , Hebrew, Syriac and Akkadian languages . We have divided the research into a number of pivots beginning with an entrance about the letter (Taa) in Semitic languages and the symbols which are used by these languages referring to . Then we have studied (Taa) from sonic side with letters phenomenon (b, g, k, p, t) the six in both Hebrew and Syriac languages . The letter (Taa) is formed one of them and the sonic change that is happening in articulation (Taa) according to sonic rules related to these letters in case of emphasis or in case of neglected (not emphasis). Then we have studied the process of standard replacement that happened as a result of sounds interaction and the effect of each other especially the standard replacement in the formation of (Iftala) as replacement between (Taa) and (Dal) and replacement between (Taa) and (Ta) and between (Taa) and (Thaa) and also between the sonic replacement between (Taa) and (Sad) and between (Ta) and (Seen) This replacement happens as a result of differences in dialects. Then we have studied the meanings and different indications of the letter (Taa) in the four Semitic languages mentioned above. The study included (Taa in the present) and (Taa the pronoun) it means the (Taa of the subject), (Taa of speech) , (Taa of feminine) (Taa of plural) and their indications in each pivot. It also included the study and comparison for a number of rhythms and nouns that feminine (Taa) followed with. (device noun) (place noun) (nomen vicis) (formation noun) (mimi infinitive) (artificial infinitive) The research has concluded with a number of results that we have reached through comparing process among four Semitic languages concerning this study.

Harold Pinter often portrays the dilemma of obliterated figures that are incapable of feeling of their own existences. These figures feel exhausted and frustrated in a world that deprives them their humanity. They retreat into a limited world where they look for security and protection. The characters' feeling of security is threatened by outside forces represented by intruding persons who stand for the mysterious powers that are indefinable. The conflict between these intruders and the characters finally ends with the characters’ defeat. The reason for the intruders' attack on the victims remains ambiguous and is not explained. The element of mystery pervades Pinter's plays and represents one of its main characteristics. This paper attempts to investigate how Pinter treats this dilemma in his first play The Birthday Party (1957). How man does escape from his reality, what kinds of danger attack man, why man cannot fight against these threats, are the questions which this paper is trying to answer.

This research deals with the subject of Shtetl (Jewish town) in the works of some Hebrew writers who focused on the criticism of this Shtetl and considered a restriction or an obstacle in front of the development of the Jews. Therefore It took space in their works and gave it great attention to it-by their point of view- considered an important part in the history and life of Jews in Europe.
Many Hebrew writers took Shtetl and was subject of their works, and has been formed the important issue, we find their works didn’t abandoned mention of Shtetl. It is likely to the living situation, which was difficult that Jews faced in these Shtetls, because the policies of European governments to reduce their wealth, and control on the economic affairs in those countries. This affair led to the weakness of the Jew’s abilities, which led them to ignorance and illiteracy. These situations bring to appearance the political movements such as Zionism and nationalism movements, also the religious like Hasidic, and the cultural like Haskalah.
Sholem Aleichem described Shtetl by many stories and the situation of Jews in these Shtetls. He talked about the economic situation of the population Jews in these Shtetls sociality the riches that he described them with irony and satire. Sholem Aleichem named the Shtetls and their peoples with virtual names.
Berdyczewski’s stories took the recalcitrant Jew person upon Shtetl’s traditions as a central subject such as we find this issue in his stories. These stories deals with the reality of Shtetl and Jews situation where they lived. Berdyczewski’s coincided with Sholem Aleichem to view the Jewish reality in the Jewish towns, villages and Shtetls. In spite of different of the style, but the target is one to review the Jewish reality and imaging it as a tragic.
Through comparative between two writers, become clear that they dealing with Shtetl as they think. So Berdyczewski focused on the salt and destructive reality in Shtetl. Sholem Aleichem focused on the ideology, culture and economic sides. He criticized the illiterate community whose had been grasped traditions.

The paper is concerned with a linguistic analysis of the blurbs, used in advertising English and Arabic novels. A blurb is an advertising persuasive text, written on the back cover of a book. Blurbs of selected novels are chosen as representative examples. The selected blurbs belong to two languages, Arabic and English. The paper aims at studying the linguistic features that are characteristic of blurbs as advertising texts and making a sort of comparison between English blurbs and Arabic ones. A linguistic analysis on four levels is presented. Blurbs are tackled from the point of view of four linguistic disciplines that are phonology, syntax, semantics and discourse analysis. A reference is made to the linguistic features of the register of advertising, in general, not only blurbs for the sake of comparison. The paper reaches the following conclusions: blurbs of novels are classified as advertising texts, as they adhere to the linguistic strategies of persuasion; blurbs' abundant use of superlative constructions and long sentences but rare use of colloquial vocabulary items are points which differentiate blurbs from other advertising texts; and English and Arabic blurbs use the same persuasive strategies, like use of complimentary words, meaning manipulation, repetition … etc.

The present study investigates the relation between the biliteral and triliteral roots which is the introduction to comprehend the nature of the Semitic roots during its early stage of development being unconfirmed to a single pattern. The present research is not meant to decide on the question of the biliteral roots in the Semitic languages, rather it is meant to confirm the predominance of the triliteral roots on these languages which refers, partially, to analogy adopted by the majority of linguists. This tendency is frequently seen in the languages which incline to over generalize the triliteral phenomenon, i. e., to transfer the biliteral roots to the triliteral room, that is, to subject it to the predominant pattern regarding the roots.

Die Forschung besteht aus zwei Kapiteln: das erste Kapitel geht es nur um die Form des Gedichts, aber das zweite Kapitel geht es um die Analyse des Gedichts, und das ist das Wesen der Arbeit, gleichzeitig enthält das zweite Kapitel auch zwei wichtige Disziplinen.
Die erste Disziplin handelt es sich um die Struktur des Gedichts, nämlich die lyrische Seite; Reim,Rhythmus,Strophe,und Versmaße, aber die zweite Disziplin handelt es sich um den Inhalt, erklärt hier sowohl das Wesen als auch das Ziel des Gedichts, denn das Gedicht besteht aus vier Strophen, die miteinander zu sehr nicht getrennt sind.

Writing in English is one of the essential factors for successful EFL learning .Iraqi students at the preparatory schools encounter problems when using their background knowledge in handling subskills of writing(Burhan,2013:164).Therefore, this study aims to investigate the 4thyear preparatory school students’ problems in English composition writing, and find solutions to these problems through a suggested schematic language learning strategy training approach dealing with writing problems .The researcher made a survey at eight preparatory schools of AL-Risafa (1) General Directorate of Education :(316) from the scientific branch (159 males &157 females) and (284) from the literary branch (145 males &139 females), in Baghdad, during the second term of the academic year 2014-2015.In this regard, a suitable questionnaire is designed and exposed to a jury of specialists in ELT. The results indicate that the subjects of the study,i.e.preparatory school students are poor in English composition writing due to poor teaching methods, students’lack interest in vocabulary, grammar knowledge ,cultural knowledge, and schema .Then, the study advocates that writing problems can be reduced to a minimum if students are taught by using schema .With this orientation, this study suggests a schematic language learning strategy training that enables students to overcome their writing problems by developing their linguistic schema, formal schema and content schema .Conclusions, recommendations ,and suggestions are made

Contemporary researchers realized the importance of the title. Many researches and studies concerned in titles and their analyses on the structural, semantic and pragmatic levels have been developed. Title gives a vital assistance to control the text harmony and to understand its vague aspects. It is the axis which re-generates itself, grows, and re-produces itself; as if it were a head for a body.
Title has strong relation to the reader- waiting horizon, multiplies as many levels of understanding are there. The horizon of waiting is limited by the title, basically, to be the first reason for the text entrance, as the first thing attracts the reader is the title.
Approaching title scientifically and objectively is impossible, but only through semiotic approach which deals with titles being signs, signals, symbols, icons and metaphors.
Under the light of these facts, semiotics dedicates vital importance for titles being procedural terms within the literary text approach.

Semantik, almaca'dan alınmış ve aslında Yunanca bir sözcüktür. Bu bilim Yunanda başlanıp birinci dilbilimci Abu Me'yin ve Batıda en meşhur olan Ne'um Gomsky'dir.

Various semantic innovations and expansions have been tackled as factors and sources of neos. A variety of internal (linguistic) and external (extra-linguistic) motives and motifs leads to the appearance of new terms causing such changes in the political language. Some statesmen are productive in introducing new terms and creative in manipulating expressions and meanings.
New words are nonces that get metaphorical expansion for quadrilateral motivations resting on extra meaning innovation, new terms at the semantic expansions to be honed as neos. In tracing the phases of the semantic processes of neos and hulks, lexical and semantic changes might be of widening or narrowing of referential meaning; or of ameliorating or pejorating the expression force power. Bleaching of the existed word meanings might be prestigious or for a linguistic need.

La Peste, paru en 1947 et qui reçoit le prix des critiques acquiert a Camus une notoriété universelle, il reçoit en 1957 le prix Nobel pour une œuvre qui, selon les termes de l’Académie suédoise : « met en lumière les problèmes se posant de nos jours à la conscience des hommes ». A Oran où il n’arrive jamais rien, quelque chose va arriver. On découvre un rat mort, couvert de sang. Deux jours après on en trouve des centaines, puis des milliers. Deux semaines plus tard, un homme meurt d’une maladie, décrite avec précision, mais sans recherche de l’horreur. Après cet événement, on signale une dizaine, puis une vingtaine de cas de fièvre suspecte, le lecteur est devant l’inquiétude qui devient de la peur, de la panique même. Mais l’auteur ne veut ni exploiter la peur ni chercher à effrayer ou à surprendre le lecteur comme dans les romans de science-fiction. Camus a essayé de présenter une description réaliste de « la peste » comme un monstre qui dévore Oran. Il s’agit plutôt d’une œuvre de réflexion dans laquelle, l’auteur parle de la peur et de la panique qui sont, pour lui, un moyen pour exprimer l’atmosphère de l’étouffement, la souffrance et l'exile qui menace toute l’existence humaine.
