This research is an analysis of the social discourse of Active Sudanese youth in social media, especially (Facebook). Using pragmatic and interactive method, research sample was selected from youth writings on the floods that swept Sudan in the rainfall of 2020 AD, which caused great losses and constituted great attention to public opinion and the media. This research concluded with many results, the most important of which are: The discourse of the research sample was built from a combination of vocabulary from the Arabic language at its standard level mixed with vocabulary from the Sudanese colloquial dialect; because the latter is sometimes used to convey intended meanings, to create a desired interaction, and deliberation intended by the letter's writer. Likewise, the nature of the social discourse of Sudanese youth on Facebook, who wrote about the ordeal of torrents and floods, is mostly interactive and does not care about preserving sacred level and does not take them into account. The writer of the speech is from the public, and he targets the public and those who are both higher and lower than him. The study confirmed the adoption of a free agenda in the posts of Sudanese youth on Facebook regarding floods and torrents, and the presentation and discussion of the discourse that was studied in this paper focused on the topic (i.e. the meaning), not the form.

This paper, under the heading: Literary Discourse in the Light of the Pragmatic Approach, addresses the question of receiving literary discourse with the support of the procedural programs of the pragmatic course, since it is a contemporary critical theory sorted out by linguistic studies, the semiotic ones in particular. It seeks to decipher the literary text through the lens of the pragmatic standards that takes over studying the discourse in its factual context, not in its lexical domain or grammatical structures.

The current paper sheds light on The Speech Act Theory and its role in constructing argumentation by applying it on a selected set of anecdotes (rarities) of the book entitled Al-Bukhalāʾ (The Misers) written by Al-Jāḥiz. In fact, the present research has two main objectives : the first is to test the cognitive explanatory competence of the theory in hand, and the second is to know the method of employing linguistic structures in convincing certain arguments. To fulfil the above aims, the research edopted for a pragmatic method starting from the analysis of the linguistic structures to reach the pragmatic level, which is most of the time is extra-linguistic inguistic in nature. The main finding that we come through this investigation is that there is an intimate relationship between the linguistic structure of the anecdote and its impact degrees on the receiver. And this is a relationship that takes place under the effect of the pragmatic level with all its components. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There are many modern linguistic studies for finding the correspondence between the Arabic studies efforts regarding the Arabic linguistic heritage in one hand and the modern linguistic theories on the other hand. The conclusion of these scientific researches was far from standard framework. Pragmatic Arabic studies tried to correspond between Arabic efforts and Pragmatic studies in different topics like pragmatic thinking or studies of specific person. Pragmatics concerns mostly on the practical usage of language in different context, so looking deeply to the Arabic studies in general aspects or in linguistic aspects, one can find some papers of good agreement with the modern linguistic theories even may have certain scientific privilege. Some fields like morphology or syntax and others have noticeable relation with pragmatics in spite of terminological differences, it can be seen clearly in certain religious studies.

The study of Al-Zubairi's poetry, generally within the contemporary linguistic critical approach (the pragmatic approach), has not sufficiently included rhetorical study of Al-Zubairi's heritage. The focus of this paper is a minor issue of Al-Zubairi's poetry which was avoided by the poet himself, writers and critics. The main purpose of this paper is to cast light on one of Al- Zubairi's types of poetry which is the panegyric type, and to highlight an important aspect of Al-Zubairi's poetry which dates from a period that has not been studied, neither published in his complete works. After studying the poems under question, it was found out that they are not just panegyric type. They are rather symbolic representation used to uncover the truth the poet and his people suffered because of the person (ruler) praised in the poem. The study concluded that the poet was not praising, but he was in a state of steadfastness, defiance and determination. The panegyrics (paganisms) constituted two performative acts: The first is a direct performative act represented by the praise, whereas the other one is an implied act which also has two aspects. Aspect one was a call upon the Crown Prince to act properly; at the same time the poet provided him with the encouragement in both word and deed. The second aspect was totally different; the poet was a freedom fighter and through his call for freedom his speech was addressed to the people to rise and start the uprising. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
