Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities launches inaugural issue of Journal of Applied Linguistics

Abu Dhabi — Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities, in cooperation with Brill, a leading international publishing house, released the inaugural issue of the semi-annual Journal of Applied Linguistics.

The publication of the journal is part of the university’s efforts to raise the standards for research in Arabic linguistics. It also serves as a platform for applied linguistics, which will explore various facets of the Arabic language using the most effective linguistic research methods and the latest linguistic theories.

The first issue includes several research papers covering topics relevant to the journal. All of them revolve around testing modern scientific hypotheses, seeking precise concepts to address some phenomena in the Arabic language, and analyzing issues related to the development of linguistic sciences.

The first issue covers a wide range of interesting topics, including “Mechanisms of Vigilance in Interpretation: How Does the Listener Avoid Misunderstanding or failure?”; “The Figurative Relation Between Projection and Condensation: An Applied Study in Basic Mystical Connections that Create Semantic Richness”; “Counting and Numbers in Gender: The Behavior of Quantity and the Role of Feminization”; and “Linguistic Intersections as an Analytical Fframework for Scial Interaction in Multilingual Discourse and a Bio-linguistic Approach to Specific Cases”.

His Excellency Dr. Khalifa Mubarak Al Dhaheri, chancellor of Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities, said that the inaugural release of the journal embodies the support of Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities for the United Arab Emirates’ strategy in advancing human knowledge. It also serves as a manifestation of the university’s vision to strengthens its role in the field of scientific research and academic studies.

“Universities establish their presence and reputation in the global academic landscape in various ways, most notably through the new knowledge they provide in their areas of expertise, through conferences they organize, as well as through the projects they spearhead in addition to journals they publish. This journal is expected to be a pioneer in the field of applied linguistics,” Al Dhaheri added.

According to Al Dhaheri, the journal is also distinguished by its keeping pace with global publishing trends, which make articles accessible and globally distributed. This enables readers to access them through major search engines. Especially since the journal will be issued in collaboration with Brill, an established name in scientific publishing, quality control is ensured. As the global publishing house is a neutral and reliable entity that guarantees the quality of published articles, it prevents the interference of various parties that may judge articles on subjective grounds.

In addition, Brill will handle the physical and virtual distribution of the journal through its extensive network and large database. This secures a significant position for the journal on the global academic map. The university will publish two issues of the journal per year.
