“…A previous study brought out the influence of the SFP's function -the nuances that it conveys -on its phonetic realization [6]. The present pilot study extends the scope of analysis beyond F0: the research issue is how speaker attitude affects the realization of glottalization for tones 3 and 6.…”

A salient aspect of the tone system of Hanoi Vietnamese is its use of phonation-type characteristics. This pilot study investigates intonational variation in the realization of two tones: tone 3 (ngã), a rising tone with a strong glottalization in its first half, and tone 6 (nặng), which starts on a middle pitch and usually falls dramatically because of a strong glottalization in its second half. This study focuses on how speaker attitude affects the realization of glottalization on two sentence-final particles (SFPs) carrying tones 3 and 6: đã [IPA: ɗa3], conveying tense-aspect-modality information, and ạ [IPA: a6], conveying politeness. Audio and electroglottographic recordings from 4 male speakers suggest that glottalization is phased earlier for surprise than for declaration. Irritation also tends to be reflected in earlier glottalization, but with an added glottal constriction at the very end. A methodological challenge is that phonetic realizations of tones 3 and 6 span a wide range of states of the glottis. A procedure is proposed for detecting the complex-repetitive patterns found in cases of lapse into creaky phonation (vocal fry). This helps quantify glottalization phenomena, with a view to arriving at a model that can be used in speech processing.

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the English translation techniques applied to Arabic similes in Mustafa Lutfi al-Manfaluti's seminal work, "Al-Abrat." Utilising Pierini's (2007) theoretical framework, the study examines the complexities and nuances involved in translating Arabic similes into English, focusing on the translation by Majid Khan Malik Siddiqui. The research methodically analyses a selection of 200 similes from the book, exploring the various strategies employed in the translation process. The study reveals a predominant use of literal translation, reflecting a strong commitment to maintaining the integrity of the original text. Additionally, it discusses the role of creative adaptation and simile reduction in addressing cultural and linguistic challenges, emphasising the translator's role as a cultural mediator. The findings contribute to the understanding of translation practices in literary contexts, highlighting the importance of cultural and contextual awareness in the translation of figurative language. This paper underscores the significance of translation in bridging linguistic and cultural divides, enriching the appreciation of Arabic literature in the English-speaking world.
