The present study investigates the use of stance and engagement markers in English and Arabic newspaper opinion articles. This study is based on the assumption that written texts of any kind represent some kind of interaction between writers and their potential readers. Interaction between the text producers and text receivers is achieved by the employment of stance and engagement markers. These markers are considered as a main factor in constructing successful arguments for these persuasive texts (newspaper opinion articles). They are the main tools in conveying the writers' attitudes about what is being written and guiding the readers throughout the texts. The main objectives of this study are to identify stance and engagement markers in both English and Arabic opinion articles and to contrast their use bothqualitatively and quantitatively. To this effect, a total of twenty opinion articles (ten English and ten Arabic) are analyzed adopting the analytical model of Hyland. The results demonstrate that writers of both English and Arab opinion article semploy stance and engagement markers in their persuasive writing. Quantitatively speaking, the results show that the total tokens of these markers in the English datum are (210) and (211) in the Arabic datum. This indicates that these resources are used equally across the two sets of corpora. However, frequency variation is noticed in the employment of the sub-categories of stance and engagement markers across them.\"

The main problem of the current study concentrates on applying critical discourse analysis to examine textual, discoursal and social features of reduplication in some selected English newspaper headlines. This study aims at analyzing the linguistic features of reduplication by adopting Fairclough's three-dimensional model (2001). The following hypotheses are set forth: (1) English headline - newspapers comprise various textual, discoursal and social features ;(2) the model of analysis is best suited for the current study. To achieve the aims and verify the hypotheses, a critical discourse analysis approach is used represented by Fairclough's socio-cultural approach (2001). The present study has examined the use of reduplication in some English (British and American newspaper headlines) including The Guardian, The Washington Post, The Telegraph, The Observer, and The Financial Times. The main conclusions that this paper arrived at are: (a) the newspaper headlines have been described by employing more informal and simple vocabulary; (b) the style of writing is described as having clarity, directness, and freshness where the editors of these newspapers use concrete, specific, and common words to convince their reader; (c) the semantic analysis shows that lexical items include collocation, synonymy and metaphor to reinforce language and persuasion while the morphological analysis unveils that editors use different reduplications to meet the purpose of their articles and the current social analysis reveals that the editors use different dates, occasions, venues and political figures.

The theoretical and methodological approaches deployed in analyzing the data were corpus linguistics (CL) and sentiment analysis approach as a way of analyzing newspapers media discourse and sentiment representations of Saudi Arabia. The use of technology in extracting data for this study was a must due the huge amount of corpora texts which were investigated in the current research. The main source of data collection and analysis was done through sketch engine (SE). Also, the R programming language was used during the analysis process which provides several libraries for coding that makes it easier to conduct this type of research including: Tidyverse, Tidytext, Syuzhet, Textstem, Ggplot2, Readxl and Writexl. The newspapers corpora were extracted from SE dataset between the period of 1993-2013. Finally, the findings were classified in two ways: one was for each newspaper for the entire time period, and the second was for the entire newspapers' corpora data together.

Newspaper headline language is an important source of language features not found in traditional textbooks. Therefore, this study argues for the importance of including newspaper in EFL teaching and learning in Sudan. The study aims to explore Sudanese university EFL students' awareness of the morphological, syntactic as well assemantic features of newspaper headline language. To achieve this goal, primary data are purposely collected by student's test administered to 83 semi-finalist and finalist EFL students in Faculty of Education- University of Kassala in the academic year 2021s. Secondary data collected from reliable references and previous studies on similar topics. The study uses the experimental descriptive method. The findings of the study reveal several weaknesses in awareness of newspaper headline language. The main weakness is unawareness of syntactic features with 100% followed by semantic features with 71% and then morphological features with 70%. The study recommends that EFL programs at university level in Sudan should include mass media, especially English newspaper, to expose students to a source of some authentic language features, which are not presented in traditional textbooks.
