Syntax

This study aims to analyze language errors and problems in the presentation of materials in the latest edition of Al Muyassar Fii ‘Ilmin Nahwi, Volume 2. This study is based on the importance of accuracy in Arabic grammar textbooks and previous findings of errors in Volume 1, which show the need to evaluate the following volume. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with content analysis. The data were collected by examining the texts, examples, tables, and exercises in Volume 2 of Al Muyassar. The data were then classified according to the types of errors and compared with the previous edition to identify patterns and changes. The results show that syntactic errors were the most common, accounting for 34% of the findings. Spelling (imlā’) and morphological errors each accounted for 19%, semantic errors accounted for 8%, and other types of errors accounted for 20%. In addition to language errors, the study also found problems related to the completeness of the materials, the classification of examples, the accuracy of quotations from the Qur’an and hadith, and the presentation of the content. A comparison with the previous edition showed that approximately 57% of the findings in the latest edition were not found in the earlier version. This indicates the need for stricter checks during text reproduction, editing, and digitization. These findings suggest that each volume of Al Muyassar needs to be evaluated separately because the problems found in each volume are not entirely the same. This study recommends a multi-stage editing and verification process covering syntax, morphology, spelling, semantics, material presentation, and source quotations to ensure that Volume 2 is more accurate and suitable for use as an Arabic grammar textbook.

The massive penetration of digital transactions among adolescents presents real financial vulnerability due to low understanding of Islamic economic contracts and ethics. Conventional fiqh learning is often isolated in textual normative memorization without honing students' critical reasoning skills against contemporary realities. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in the learning of Fiqh Muamalah and its impact on strengthening students' critical reasoning and sharia financial literacy on digital economy issues. The research design adopts a qualitative approach with a bounded system case study at SMK Darul Musyawirin Cirebon. The research participants include Fiqh Muamalah teachers, vice principals for curriculum, and grade XI students who are directly involved in the learning cycle. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured in-depth interviews, classroom participatory observations, and review of learning portfolio documentation. Data analysis was carried out cyclically through an interactive model of open coding-based data reduction, presentation of thematic matrix data, and conclusion drawing and verification that were validated through source triangulation, member check, and trail audit. The results of the study revealed that organizing learning through the stages of authentic problem orientation (such as paylater, online loans, and digital investment), legal literature investigation, intergroup discussion-rebuttal dialectic, and value reflection succeeded in transforming students' mindsets from textual-reproductive reasoning to contextual-analytic based on postulates. Students showed a surge in competence in distinguishing murabahah margins from time-based interest, identifying the elements of riba, gharar, and maisir, and compiling simple legal arguments of istinbath al-ahkam. In addition, the structural understanding was internalized into behavioral financial literacy that encourages transaction prudence and verification of sharia legality. This instructional model proves that the integration of real issues of the digital economy into the PBL syntax effectively bridges classical fiqh doctrine with modern challenges, while offering a transformative pedagogical framework for vocational Islamic education curriculum.

Purpose This longitudinal study examined the development of complex syntax in Spanish–English bilingual children with and without developmental language disorder (DLD) from prekindergarten (PK) to 3rd grade. We evaluated syntactic complexity and grammaticality using Subordination Index (SI) and ungrammaticality (UG), overall subordinate clause use using the percentage of complex utterances, and subordinate clause-type development (nominal, adverbial, and relative clauses) in English and Spanish. Method Fifty-four bilingual children (39 typically developing TDL, 15 DLD) completed narrative retells in English and Spanish in PK, 1st, and 3rd grade. Language samples were analyzed using SALT-derived SI and UG measures, and utterances were coded for subordinate clause presence and type. Linear mixed models examined the effects of Grade and Group separately by language and outcome. Results Both groups showed developmental increases in syntactic complexity and subordination across grades, but patterns differed by language. In English, TDL and DLD children showed broadly similar growth, with no significant group differences in SI, overall subordinate clause use, or clause-type production. In Spanish, the heritage language, group differences were more pronounced. TDL children showed significant gains in overall subordination and nominal clause use, whereas children with DLD showed limited growth after 1st grade. Clause-type analyses revealed reduced growth and lower diversity of subordinate clauses in Spanish among children with DLD, particularly for nominal clauses. Conclusions Complex syntax developed in both groups across languages; however, Spanish showed greater vulnerability than English, particularly for children with DLD. Clause-type analyses revealed group differences not fully captured by global syntactic measures, highlighting the importance of examining complex syntax in the heritage language. This study provides longitudinal evidence of distinct syntactic trajectories across the two languages in bilingual children with and without DLD.

This study examined the reported levels of reading skills, writing skills, academic success, and challenges in literacy development among Grade 5 and Grade 6 learners. The study was conducted in selected public elementary schools in Lutayan, Sultan Kudarat during the School Year 2025–2026. A quantitative descriptive-correlational research design was employed. The respondents were 56 learners selected through proportionate sampling. Data were collected using a researcher-developed 40-item questionnaire covering reading skills (comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency); writing skills (syntax, grammar, and morphology); academic success; and challenges in reading and writing. The instrument obtained a mean validity score of 4.36 and a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.762, indicating acceptable internal consistency. Mean, standard deviation, and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that learners reported a very high level of reading skills (M = 4.40) and writing skills (M = 4.51). Academic success was reported as Very Satisfactory (M = 4.50), while challenges in developing literacy skills were reported as Challenged (M = 3.71). The correlation analysis showed a negligible positive relationship between reading skills and academic success (r = 0.119) and a negligible negative relationship between writing skills and academic success (r = -0.097). Neither relationship was statistically significant at the 0.05 level. The findings suggest that although learners reported high levels of reading and writing skills, these skills alone were not significantly related to their reported academic success. Other factors may also contribute to learners’ academic development.

This study examines the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) assisted by flashcard media to improve third-grade elementary students’ critical thinking skills in Landscape (Bentang Alam) material. Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control-group design. The sample consisted of 44 third-grade students from SD Negeri in Semarang, divided into an experimental class (22 students) taught using PBL assisted by flashcards and a control class (22 students) taught using conventional learning. Data were collected using pretest and posttest instruments with 120 multiple-choice items (30 per skill) and analyzed using normality and homogeneity tests, paired-sample t-tests, independent-sample t-tests, Normalized Gain (N-Gain) analysis, and analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) with the pretest as the covariate. Because of third-grade students' cognitive capacity, the test was administered in four separate sessions on four different days, with each session lasting approximately 45 minutes. Effect size was reported using Partial Eta Squared to measure the magnitude of the intervention’s impact. Both groups showed increased critical thinking ability after treatment, but the experimental group's increase was significantly higher than the control group's. After controlling for pretest scores, the ANCOVA results showed a significant difference between groups (F = 16989.679; p < .001; η²p = .998), indicating a large effect size. The experimental group's average N-Gain score was 0.7336, categorized as high and fairly effective, while the control group's average was 0.3784, categorized as medium and less effective. The greatest improvement occurred in the analysis and evaluation indicators. Implementing PBL assisted by flashcards effectively improves students’ critical thinking skills on Landscape material, as flashcards function not merely as visual media but as contextual problem triggers integrated into each stage of the PBL syntax. Keywords: problem-based learning, flashcard, critical thinking, landscape, elementary school.

This special issue brings together six papers exploring how speech prosody intersects with other linguistic, cognitive and social domains, with particular attention to methodological diversity and understudied languages. The collection addresses a range of complementary topics: the role of intonation in resolving lexical ambiguity in Korean; the perceived personality traits of synthetic versus natural voices; prosodic modifications children make in demanding communicative contexts; perceptual cues to lexical pitch accent discrimination in South Kyungsang Korean; rhythmic differences between Hadari and Bedouin Arabic dialects; and durational marking of lexical stress beyond the stressed syllable in Soikkola Ingrian and Ayutla Tlapanec. Collectively, these studies make valuable contributions to the empirical and theoretical foundations of prosody research. By combining diverse methods with a broad linguistic scope, the collection provides a basis for future research on how prosody interacts with other dimensions of language and communication.

Studies of Q.S. Al-Anbiyā’ [21]: 30 have largely focused on correspondences between the Qur’anic concepts of ratq (joining or closure) and fatq (opening or separation) and modern cosmological theories, especially the Big Bang, while the linguistic and cognitive processes through which cosmological meaning is constructed remain less examined. This study analyzes the construction of cosmological meaning in Q.S. Al-Anbiyā’ [21]: 30 by integrating al-Jurjānī’s contextual semantics with Lakoff and Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory. Using qualitative library research, the study employs a two-stage integrative procedure. First, naẓm analysis identifies the syntactic and semantic relations that constrain the ratq–fatq construction. Second, Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory maps only those textually licensed relations into source–target conceptual structures, after which the cognitive interpretation is checked against the Arabic linguistic structure. The findings show that the ratq–fatq relation forms a transformational semantic pattern from unity to differentiation. This pattern is conceptualized through three interconnected metaphors: The cosmos is a unified entity, creation is separation, and divine creation is cosmic transformation. The study proposes a Semantic-Cognitive Integrative Model in which naẓm provides textual constraints for conceptual mapping, while Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory explains how those relations are cognitively represented. Accordingly, the relationship between the verse and Big Bang cosmology is understood as limited conceptual correspondence rather than empirical scientific validation. The model offers a controlled interdisciplinary framework for analyzing Qur’anic cosmological meaning.

مطالعات صورت‌گرفته درباره آیه ۳۰ سوره انبیاء عمدتاً بر تطابق مفاهیم قرآنی رتق (پیوستگی یا بسته بودن) و فتق (گشودگی یا جدایی) با نظریه‌های کیهان‌شناسی مدرن، به‌ویژه مهبانگ، متمرکز بوده‌اند، در حالی که فرایندهای زبانی و شناختی که از طریق آن‌ها معنای کیهان‌شناختی ساخته می‌شود، کمتر مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است. این پژوهش با ادغام معناشناسی بافتی عبدالقاهر جرجانی و نظریه استعاره مفهومی Lakoff و Johnson، به تحلیل ساخت معنای کیهان‌شناختی در آیه ۳۰ سوره انبیاء می‌پردازد. این مطالعه با استفاده از روش پژوهش کتابخانه‌ای کیفی، یک فرایند تلفیقی دو مرحله‌ای را به کار می‌گیرد. ابتدا، تحلیل نظم، روابط نحوی و معنایی محدودکننده ساختار رتق–فتق را شناسایی می‌کند. سپس، نظریه استعاره مفهومی Johnson تنها آن دسته از روابط مجاز متنی را به ساختارهای مفهومی مبدأ–مقصد نگاشت می‌کند و پس از آن، تفسیر شناختی با ساختار زبانی عربی تطبیق داده می‌شود. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که رابطه رتق–فتق، یک الگوی معنایی تحولی از وحدت به تمایز را شکل می‌دهد. این الگو از طریق سه استعاره به‌هم‌پیوسته مفهوم‌سازی می‌شود: کیهان یک موجودیت واحد است، آفرینش جدایی است و آفرینش الهی دگرگونی کیهانی است. این پژوهش مدل تلفیقی معناشناختی–شناختی را پیشنهاد می‌کند که در آن نظم، محدودیت‌های متنی برای نگاشت مفهومی فراهم می‌کند و نظریه استعاره مفهومی Johnson تبیین می‌کند که این روابط چگونه به‌صورت شناختی بازنمایی می‌شوند. بر این اساس، رابطه میان آیه و کیهان‌شناسی مهبانگ به‌عنوان تطابق مفهومی محدود و نه تأیید علمی تجربی درک می‌شود. این مدل، چارچوبی میان‌رشته‌ای و کنترل‌شده برای تحلیل معنای کیهان‌شناختی قرآن ارائه می‌دهد.

Abstract It is generally assumed that children and adults learn language through fundamentally different mechanisms: Children predominantly rely on implicit learning, and adults utilize more explicit strategies (Lichtman, 2016). However, little is known about when and how learners begin to benefit from explicit instruction over the course of language development. Addressing this gap, the present study responds to DeKeyser's (2012, 2013) call to investigate age–treatment interactions (ATIs) under highly controlled experimental conditions. Using a cross‐situational learning (CSL) paradigm, we trained 150 learners aged 8 to 13 to acquire both vocabulary and grammar in a complex artificial language under two instructional conditions: implicit and explicit. Results indicated that, in this task, 12‐to‐13‐year‐old children showed clearer benefits from explicit instruction than younger children, particularly for grammatical information related to word order. These findings shed light on the developmental stage at which explicit instruction may become beneficial for children's nonnative language (L2) learning.

چکیده: به طور کلی فرض می‌شود که کودکان و بزرگسالان زبان را از طریق سازوکارهای بنیاداً متفاوتی فرا می‌گیرند: کودکان عمدتاً به یادگیری ضمنی متکی هستند و بزرگسالان از راهبردهای آشکار بیشتری استفاده می‌کنند (Lichtman, 2016). با این حال، اطلاعات اندکی دربارهٔ زمان و چگونگی بهره‌مندی یادگیرندگان از آموزش آشکار در طول فرایند رشد زبانی وجود دارد. پژوهش حاضر در پاسخ به درخواست DeKeyser (2012, 2013) برای بررسی تعاملات سن–درمان (ATIها) در شرایط آزمایشی بسیار کنترل‌شده انجام شده است. با استفاده از الگوی یادگیری میان‌موقعیتی (CSL)، تعداد ۱۵۰ یادگیرنده در بازهٔ سنی ۸ تا ۱۳ سال برای فراگیری واژگان و دستور زبان در یک زبان مصنوعی پیچیده تحت دو شرایط آموزشی ضمنی و آشکار آموزش دیدند. نتایج نشان داد که در این تکلیف، کودکان ۱۲ تا ۱۳ ساله نسبت به کودکان کم‌سن‌تر، به ویژه در زمینهٔ اطلاعات دستوری مربوط به ترتیب واژه‌ها، از آموزش آشکار سود بیشتری بردند. این یافته‌ها به روشن شدن مرحلهٔ رشدی که در آن آموزش آشکار می‌تواند برای یادگیری زبان دوم (L2) کودکان مفید واقع شود، کمک می‌کند.
