The research took Jean Dost's novels as an applied sample due to their importance in that they convey a human experience and work to deliver messages to the recipient through their content. There are matters that contribute to activating the use of (language and communication) to meet the personal and societal needs of humans and are represented in the art of dealing with the world or how to deal with it. In understanding that world, the individual's mission, whether the individual is a speaker or a sender, lies in thwarting the flaws of language and being aware of the traps of grammar. In our research, we addressed linguistic communication and its relationship to the communicative context, and the relationship of the communicative dimensions to each other, in addition to their impact on the communication process. This research took a pivotal aspect in linguistic communication, which is speech acts and interpreting discourse. In this aspect, we tried to understand the process of linguistic communication and interpretation and the relationship of all of this to the communicative aspects and their psychological and emotional impact on the sender and the recipient.</p> Ahmed Khaled Mahmoud Ruwa Nidal Omar Saeed Copyright (c) 2023 Ahmed Khaled Mahmoud , Ruwa Nidal Omar Saeed https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-06-20 2023-06-20 2023 55 63 10.58496/MJALS/2023/006 The Arabic Language https://journals.mesopotamian.press/index.php/MJALS/article/view/529 <p><span class="fontstyle0">The Arabic language is one of the most historically<br>significant and widely spoken languages in the world,<br>serving as the foundation of Islamic culture and intellectual<br>traditions.

Given the clear importance of news in general, and specifically the news of thieves, in ancient Arabic literature, these accounts garnered noticeable interest from historians, narrators, and classical authors. We find that there are books dedicated to thieves by renowned writers such as Al-Jahiz (d. 255 AH) and Al-Sukkari (d. 275 AH). Since news is a part of ancient Arabic literature, it has played a dominant role in transmitting literary and historical knowledge. As the news of thieves is considered a form of this genre and has been overlooked by contemporary scholars, it becomes necessary to study it scientifically, focusing on its artistic formulation and literary representation in ancient times. This research aims to uncover the artistic and narrative structure of events within these accounts..</p> Heba Allah Ali Abdul Hussein Copyright (c) 2023 Heba Allah Ali Abdul Hussein https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-05-14 2023-05-14 2023 45 54 10.58496/MJALS/2023/005 Authentication according to grammarians https://journals.mesopotamian.press/index.php/MJALS/article/view/392 <p>This paper deals with the topic of "tasdiq" in Arabic grammar, which is a term that refers to the presentation of one part of the sentence over another.
