No full textSome of the modern linguistics suggests that all languages are equal in so far as their natural potential for development is concerned. Hence, no language is inferior to any other language in the world. But languages do progress and flourish to meet the demands of day to day life. Siraiki, as one of the oldest languages spoken in this part of the world, has rich literature or a vast vocabulary, but its progress along the line of modern sciences and their terminologies has been rather slow. In this article, some basic principles for term-making have been laid down and followed in the proposed Siraiki terms relating to arts, literature, languages, grammar and some of the modern, concepts. A suffix to substitute the 'ology' or 'logy' has been suggested to be used in Siraiki. Most of the terms have been derived from classical Siraiki language amp; literature

Reviewing the Problematique of terrorism
Get PDFTerrorism may be termed as acts of violence, ranging from verbal abuse to sadomasochism----a fundamental tendency that associates pleasure with the affliction of pain, culminating in various forms of depression, implying intense fear, horror, panic and fright to which the victims may be subjected to. From domestic violence to those evils committed in the wider social context are also called acts of terrorism. The current day scientific and technological advancements have transformed this phenomenon into an uncontrollable monster for the entire humanity. The stark reality is that it is the technologically developed countries that are to be credited for developing chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction, which they now find are easily accessed or can be stolen to be used by others. This is exactly the reason why it has dawned upon the major countries to “realize” that it is best to destroy the extremist outfits, who are fighting around the globe in the numerous theaters of ongoing wars within various societies. The major power brokers of the world fear that the human mind has itself become so “weaponised” by the social context in which it lives that the lethal and destructive potentials are available to the terrorist for their tactical and strategic ends in the same manner as are available to the powerful countries. Pakistan is one such country where diverse priorities of ruling elite and the masses, state repression, foreign conspiracies, Afghanistan problem, organized insurgencies, ethno-lingual and sectarian contradictions have grown into an increasing brutalization in the environment. In a chartered territory of terrorism like Pakistan where extremism is the norm of the day, there is a call for the need for new strategies and meaningful practical steps for a peaceful resolution of conflicts through accommodation of aggrieved groups and social justice for all. This study on the phenomenon of terrorism attempts to frame blueprints of action to curb this menace arising out to the views expressed by a deeply concerned public opinion
The Appearance of Rajaz ın Arabıc Poetry
Get PDF“Rajaz” is the name used for the short poems with a few couplets recited improsively on battlefields, in poetic repartees and daily life in Pre-Islamic Period. Rajaz, which means tremor and spasm, was used like meter of prosody in Islamic periods. The origin of rajaz is “saj” (rhymes without meter) and it is considered as initial stage of Arabic Poetry. As time passed, saj developed and turned into rajaz in simple meters. Mostly, it was not regarded as a poem because of some religious risks and its relationship with saj. Since it was considered as a type of folk poem, the poets of Pre-Islamic and Islamic periods did not give importance to rajaz.
Framework of Inter Faith Dialogue in Al-Sharî‘a Al-Islâmiyyah
Get PDFThe paper proceeds with the short introduction of interfaith dialogue. Terminologies such as al jadl, al mufawadhat, al hîwar al mûhajah, and al hâdith etc. that are being used by the Muslims for the notion of dialogue have also been elaborated. The thoughts of contemporary Muslims scholars involved in interfaith dialogue reveal that dialogue as conversation between the representatives of religions with the aim of developing understanding and harmony is in accordance with Islamic teachings. The Da’wah, which involves knowing, learning and persuading each other, is also kind of dialogue. Disagreements of nations are diversities from which need for dialogue emerges. Such type of prospects and benefits of interfaith dialogue particularly in Muslims’ perspective have been traced then. Islamic concept of religious diversity, which is based on recognition of almost all pre Islamic Religions, has been elaborated in third part of this paper. No compulsion in choice of faith is core of Islamic belief. Muslim Jurists are agreed that freedom of choice of faith is basic ingredient of conversion. Conversion by force and coercion is null and void. This has been discussed in forth part of this study. The fifth part of the study deals with interfaith tolerance and respect. The last part of the study consists upon miscellaneous rules that regulate the conduct of interfaith dialogue. In conclusion of this paper importance of inter religious dependence and possible role of framework of interfaith dialogue in the light of al-Sharî‘a al-Islâmiyyah have been identified so that Muslims can actively and positively contribute for peace among religions through dialogue
Analyzing Reading Comprehension of Pakistani Learners of Law with Reference to Statutes, a Legal Genre
Get PDFStatutes or “Legislative English” is a “high stake” genre in legal settings. In situations where learners’ first language is other than English, law students and recent graduates in the profession of law reportedly find it hard to cope with statutes while performing academic and occupational task. The aim of this paper is to identify the level of linguistic adequacy of Pakistani learners of law with regard to two areas: 1) learners’ understanding of complex structure of statutes, and 2) their ability to apply statutes to cases. This empirical research was carried out through survey questionnaires by taking into account three members of legal discourse community: teachers of law, recent graduates and senior lawyers. The analysis revealed that a vast majority of learners have inadequate competence. The findings provide insights to course developers in the field of English for Academic Legal Purposes (EALP) and English for Occupational Legal Purposes (EOLP).
