a critical analysis of reader-text, especially the sacred texts as the important topic of hermeneutic, is one of the focal points of attention among scholars of humanities. this paper, through a comparative study between the bible and the qur’an, concentrates on the image of woman in the account of creation. the paper first shows that there are deep differences between these two sacred texts co...

Here we study the complexity of string problems as a function of the size of a program that generates input. We consider straight-line programs (SLP), since all algorithms on SLP-generated strings could be applied to processing LZ-compressed texts. The main result is a new algorithm for pattern matching when both a text T and a pattern P are presented by SLPs (so-called fully compressed pattern...

Event extraction is one of the most useful and challenging Information Extraction (IE) tasks that can be used in many natural language processing applications in particular semantic search systems. Most of the developed systems in this field extract events from English texts; therefore, in many other languages in particular Arabic there is a need for research in this area. In this paper, we dev...

Although widely-studied in recent years, Language Identification (LID) systems for determining the language of input texts often fail to discriminate between similar languages like Croatian-Serbian and Malay-Indonesian. This has brought attention to the task of discriminating similar languages, varieties and dialects – including a recent shared task [3]. Persian (also known as Farsi) and Dari (...

As a culture-based phenomenon which involves both linguistic and social aspects, translation has been investigated from various perspectives. The present Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA)-based study is an attempt to probe into the manipulation of ideologies in translations of political texts. A CDA approach, based on Fairclough (1989), Van Dijk (2004) and Farahzad (2007), was adopted to conduc...
