English has been considered the universal language for communication, even between cultures that do not speak English as a native language. But in order to communicate effectively with other speakers of the language, and to avoid any potential misunderstanding, speakers of any language should be aware of the intonational patterns and their pragmatic implicatures. Intonation helps the speakers express their emotions and attitudes, draw the attention of the hearers to certain parts of the utterance, indicate the grammatical structure of utterances, and it also can turn a statement into a question without having to change the syntactic structure of the utterance. Intonation is seen as the music of speech, and a simple change in that music will reflect a certain meaning in the mind of the hearers. Hence, it is believed that for speakers of English, or any other language, to communicate effectively and avoid any potential misunderstanding, they should be aware of the language’s intonational patterns and their implicatures in different contexts.

This study is divided into two parts. The first part deals with a theoretical outline of the geographical criticism approach. It aims to show the essence and elements of geographical criticism, a completely new critical approach that highlights the relationship between geography and literature, the importance of space, the difference between place and space, and the relationship of man to space. Geographical criticism also focuses on the relationship between real and imaginary places in the study of literature and how it affects the understanding of literary work.
While the second part deals with a practical application of this approach to three short stories of contemporary Indian novelist Sherman Alexey, who are the search engine, bar association, and can I get a witness? The study also examines how the writer uses different types of places and they are the right place, the inappropriate place, and the non-existent, as material elements that help to create multiple and different meanings in literary works.

The female narrative appeared in the last century, and became the leading theory of academic development for the collection of classic narration and feminist literary criticism. It originated in the West in the eighties of the twentieth century, and it is an important branch of Classical Post-Narrative Studies that is currently on the rise in the international academic field. Modern and contemporary academic trends in China and the Arab countries have used feminist narratives to conduct a number of studies on women's literature and interdisciplinary phenomena. On the one hand, it complements and reinforces research methods in the western feminist narrative and introduces local research methods. On the other hand, it shows research deficiencies and obstacles as well. Therefore, studying the feminist narrative and exploring the process of localization in China and the Arab countries has great importance for both the Chinese feminist narrative and the Arab feminist narrative. This paper provides some ideas for comparing the localization of the feminist narrative in China and the Arab countries in the contemporary world.

This paper deals with cohesion of foregrounding in of foregrounding in Gwendolyn Brook's ''Michael is Afraid of the Storm'' and ''Martin Luther King Jr.''.This linguistic phenomenon is inevitable: it almost exists in every literary text. Foregrounding can be achieved by two ways either deviating from the norm or confining one’ self to the same norm. Gwendolyn Brook is a well- known Black African poet. The paper studies two poems written by Brook: ''Michael is Afraid of the Storm'' and ‘‘Martin Luther King Jr.’’.The poems are rich in foregrounding features: parallelism, similes, metaphors and alliteration. At the same time, they have many cohesive devices such as reference, and conjunctions.

The Development of Nadine Gordimer's Career from 1953 to the present time Prof. Yehia Kamil

Nadine Gordimer was born on 20 November 1923 in Springs, a small gold mining town of about 20,000 people on Johanesburg's East Rand. In 1991, Gordimer won the Noble Prize.The main influence on Nadine Gordimer is her possessive mother, who invented the fiction of the former having a "heart problem" to maintain a suspicious relationship with the local doctor. Gordimer stresses that her mother's unforgivable action has influenced and shaped her life:
Gordimer’s aim , throughout her writing career, is to be invisible, to create some sort of identification between the reader and what is being written about as well as the people in the work, and to involve the reader rather than to distance him. Both the false heart problem, invented by her mother, and her involvement in South African history define Gordimer’s career. She provides her private history with public associations, being interested in the radical transformation in the interaction between the private character and the public landscape, which occurs during the course of her career. In her early novels, characters fail to develop a connection between their private lives and the public landscape. Unlike the firm restraint with which she depicts the South African situation in her early novels, Gordimer, in her later ones, including A Guest of Honour, The Conservationist, and July’s People, portrays the increasing interaction of observer and world observed. She stresses the necessity of the artist getting involved with his or her world. The end of apartheid in 1994 marks a new beginning for Nadine Gordimer, creating fresh narrative possibilities, and presenting questions for the South African writer about the alternative subjects that are supposed to preoccupy him/or her. Gordimer has always written as a white liberal of the left, trying to project herself far enough out of the privilege of being a white South African. Her writing has been so subtle it helps and forces readers to find their way back from her words into her mind. She has sustained a tense dialectic between the personal and the political, being praised for her acute, almost lyrical sensitivity, richness of style, and detail. Gordimer has been heralded as having the ability to catch the implications of the smallest gesture or nuance, tracing its connections back to broader social and political arenas, and offering a kind of Freudian psychopathology of the everyday life.
