Summary: On May 5, 1936, Italian forces captured Addis Ababa and severely damaged Ethiopia's national and military morale. New Times and Ethiopia News (NTEN) was launched on the same day as a journalism project to revive the liberation struggle on the diplomatic, political, and military fronts. The newspaper aimed to mobilize international support against fascism and colonialism, with a specific focus on Ethiopia as a victim nation. This study highlights the role of NTEN as an international alternative press that documented women's experiences and resisted their mistreatment, contributing to our understanding of the gender dynamics under colonialism.

Summary: Politeness refers to social and cultural norms, conventions, or rituals. It is closely related to social status and power, where individuals with higher social standing tend to display higher levels of politeness. In the past, power was associated with educated, knowledgeable, and elderly individuals in society, but in today's digital age, it has shifted towards wealth, position, and fame. This necessitates a redefinition of power and status in relation to politeness.

Summary: This study examines how weather conditions are used by Arab British novelist Leila Aboulela in her novels The Translator (1999) and The Kindness of Enemies (2015) to portray the Islamic identity development of the characters. It argues that weather conditions in the fictional world created by Aboulela narrate the stories of her characters' identity construction in diaspora. The study illustrates how the characters progress from being unaware of the connection between weather conditions and their Islamic identities to a stage of full awareness and understanding.

Summary: In this study, the concept of final girls in contemporary Indonesian horror films is seen as a means for women to reclaim their rights in a patriarchal society and challenge the stereotypical portrayal of female characters in popular films. The study examines these issues through analyzing the cinematography, revealing culturally-specific strategies used to reclaim women's power and position in Indonesian society. However, despite the popularity of final girls, their performance continues to carry double meanings in the context of reclaiming women's power.

Summary: This study utilized scientometric methods to map the knowledge domains of neurolinguistics, an interdisciplinary field of linguistics, in order to comprehensively understand the development and structural relationships of scientific knowledge in neuroscience. A total of 5,104 neurolinguistics documents published between 1913 and 2022 were analyzed and visualized from three databases, Scopus, WOS, and Lens, using CiteSpace 5.8.R3 and VOSviewer 1.6.18. The study mapped knowledge production by country, university, journal, publisher, research field, and author, and examined it using scientometric indicators such as co-citation networks, citation networks, sigma metrics, and clusters of topics. The identified clusters include discourse processing of flexible word order language language-ready brain, and language talent in cultural neurolinguistics; object knowledge of agrammatic aphasia; early experience of cerebral localization; language in autism spectrum disorder; and language evolution in relation to cognitive adequacy in language-ready brain. This study provides valuable insights into the field of neurolinguistics and offers a visual representation of the development process of scientific knowledge in neuroscience.

Summary: This study explores the formation patterns of hypocoristics in Ammani-Jordanian Arabic from the perspective of Construction Morphology. The most common patterns of hypocoristics are investigated, with a focus on the social factors of gender and age that contribute to the structure and functions of hypocoristic forms. Through a questionnaire survey, it is found that the most frequently used hypocoristic patterns among 51 Ammani Jordanians from three age groups include reduplication, truncation, affixation, and the addition of "abu" (father of) and "um" (mother of) to male and female names, respectively. The study also reveals the variation of hypocoristic templates according to the gender of the name. These findings contribute to a better understanding of Jordanian culture and the use of hypocoristics for foreign learners of Arabic.
