“A Poetics of Disruption”: Farida Karodia’s A Shattering of Silence and the Exiled Writer’s Dihiliz Position
No full textBearing in mind Edwidge Danticat’s ideas about writing being a dangerous affair, this paper reflects on authorial matters regarding Farida Karodia’s A Shattering of Silence (1993). Like other novels set in times of conflict, A Shattering of Silence can be seen to deploy what the researcher chooses to call a “poetics of disruption”. This is a poetics heavily at the service of politics, intended to disrupt and destabilise the blunt binaries lying at the heart of any armed conflict. In this sense, the main character in the story, Faith, embodies a poetics of disruption in so much as she problematises the binary dimension of the political situation in the Mozambique of the period, being a white woman who sympathises with the anti-colonial struggle. This article claims that, reproducing the dynamics of the poetics of disruption in a process which can be said to replicate that of her character, Farida Karodia herself makes the most of her strategic location in a liminal terrain across nations. Her position as an exilic author can be defined as dihiliz, that is, as a threshold vantage point which enables her to be both inside and outside the situation she reflects about. Karodia’s liminality is here more pointed than is usually the case with the exilic writer, since she chooses to write about Mozambique, in many senses close to her country of origin yet not her birth-place

Researh on “The Function Analysis of Auxilary Verb-teiru in Yomikikase o Hanashi Ehon 3” aimed to describe the structure and meaning of auxilary verb –teiru in the book of Yomikikase o Hanashi Ehon 3.
The author used reviewing method (metode simak) to obtain data, followed by notetaking method (metode catat) to write and classify the data. Then, all the data were analysed using agih method.
The result of the data analysis showed that, in term of structure, auxilary verb-teiru is attached to activity verb, punctual verb and type 4 verb. Whereas in term of meaning, 15 auxilary verb-teiru indicate continuity of activity, 15 auxilary verb- teiru show result of an activity and situation, and 4 auxilary verb-teiru act as a habit,2 auxalary verb-teiru certain circumstances that cannot changes, 2 auxalary verb-teiru life experience . Thus, the data explains three aspect of auxilary verb-teiru namely progressive, resultative, situative aspect and habituative aspects.
Key words: auxiliary verb-teiru, progressive aspect, resultative aspects, habituative aspect, situative aspec
The Poetics of Textual Thresholds in Ahcene El-Kharrat’s Collections of Poetry
No full textAbstract: The aim of this study is to analyze the poetics of textual thresholds in the poetry of Ahcene El-Kharrat (1989-2019), to query their various dimensions, connotations and artistic features, based on the assumption that contemporary poetic text is no longer just a set of poems nicely written and collected in a book, but rather a mosaic of written texts, para (meta) texts, and thresholds related to their hypertext. The thresholds’ role is vital. Its importance cannot be ignored while formulating the general poetic context of the poem. The latter cannot reach completeness without its textual thresholds that opens up new poetic and artistic perspectives. We will shed light, in this analytical and intertextual research, on the thresholds of the poems in the collections of the Algerian poet Ahcene El-Kharrat entitled: Nabdh-al-faji’a (Pulse of Bereavement), Basar Al-Turab (Sight of the earth) and Shatah Al-darawishes (the Dervishes’ imagination).

Representations of South African Indian women in Farida Karodia's Daughters of the twilight and Shamim Sarif's The world unseen.
No full textThesis (M.A.)-University of Natal, Durban, 2003.In this article I examine the representations of South African Indian women in Farida
Karodia's Daughters of the Twilight and Shamim Sarif's the world unseen. My contention
is that each author chooses a different mode of representation and that certain features
of these representations suggest both the different relationship each author has with
South Africa and the differences in the times of production of the novels. Thus while both
novels are set in the 1950s, Karodia, whose site of enunciation is the 'interregnum' in the
1980s, imagines the agency of her women quite differently from Sarif, who writes from a
'post-anti-apartheid' site of enunciation in the late 1990s. I analyse and compare the
relationships between characters (men and women; women and women) and look at the
cultural and political significance of mixed-race figures, concentrating on uncovering the
mechanisms of power and their effects. I read these against a politico-historical context
of the setting and that of the times and places of production
A Conspiracy Argument for Optimality Theory: Emakhuwa Dialectology
No full textThis paper [to be published in the proceedings of the University of Pennsylvania Colloquium in Linguistics for 1999] argues that while the “conspiracy argument” (originally developed in Kisseberth (1970)) clearly supports the Optimality Theory model of phonology, it is not the case that conspiracies are just an attribute of the synchronic grammars of a single language. Conspiracy arguments can be replicated in a variety of phonological domains (acquisition, speech pathology, language change, dialectology). The present paper examines tonal phenomena in three dialects of Emakhuwa (a Bantu language spoken in northern Mozambique and neighboring regions of Tanzania and Malawi) and argues that rule-based generative phonology fails to capture the conspiratorial relationships obtaining in these dialects, wheras OT (in its Optimal Domains Theory implementation) succeeds in interpreting dialectal relationships as differences in the ranking of universal constraints.The definitive version of this paper was published in Proceedings of the 23rd Annual Penn Linguistics Colloquium.

ECBA as antihyperlipidemic agent is given for a long - term therapeutic purpose. This
experiment was performed to investigate the subchronic toxicity of ECBA on leukocytes profile of
Wistar rats. ECBA was investigated at dose 15 mg, 120 mg, and 960 mg/200 g body weight for 90
days in 40 male Wistar rats. CMC-Na was used for control. The blood was examined for the
leukocytes profile on day 0, 45, and 90. The rats were still maintained under experimental conditions
without giving ECBA until day 105 for the reversibility test. The result showed that the administration
of ECBA for 90 days did not affect leukocytes profile of Wistar rats
Text Variants and First Person Domain in Author Identification: Hermeneutic versus Computerized Methods
No full textSince a language variety contains shared variants, and since a complete correlation between author and linguistic features is rarely acquired, it is suggested that linguistic features which fall outside the correlational agreement in a variety belong to the author's First Person Domain (FPD). Advances in computerized vocabulary profiling and readability provide useful characterization of features found in Academic English (AE), but they cannot capture the full range of linguistic features in a text. A corpus of about 38 extracts and texts (111.000 words) from local and international authors is analyzed to determine interpersonal and intrapersonal variations. The results show that language variation determines the features of FPD which are crucial for author identification and that computational methods are not adequately sensitive to insure a hundred percent author identification. Therefore, epistemological author identity profile (AIP) is suggested to plot alleged texts against the socio-physical and epistemological parameters of alleging authors.
