Introduction
Nowadays, many people have written papers who are considered by them as the key Arab authors in Arabic, French or English literature using their readings, skills and convictions as well as the literature review they made about the issue (Allen, 1988; Brisley, 2016). However, no one has tried to know who are recognized by all the scientific community as the main Arab writers. That is why I decided to retrieve the list of these widely recognized Arab authors for Arabic, French and English literature in this work using citation analysis.
Methods
In general, scientists use citations to recognize the usefulness of works in building and confirming their findings (De Bellis, 2009). Similarly, citing a given literary work is done to highlight …show more content…
This means that 69.23% of the Arab literature community use French for their works and proves an absolute influence of the French language on the Arab literature of nowadays.
- As 55.55% of these authors are currently alive, the French literature community is in its golden age and have chances to be awarded a Nobel prize in the next years.
- As the average age of these living writers is 68.28 [63.66; 72.90], a young generation of Arab French language writers should appear in the next years to insure the continuity of this important activity of the Arab French literature.
- Just like the main Arabic literature community, this community has a limited rate of specialized poets (11.11%) and women (28.89%) within it. This should also be fixed by the French speaking Arab countries by giving special honours to the Arab women and poets doing works influencing the world …show more content…
- As 7 of these authors are alive and young (Average age = 53.43 [46.63; 60,23] ), these authors can be more efficient and influential in the next years and consequently acquire a more privileged place in English literature.
- Surprisingly, the main Arab English literature author is the Pen’s league Kahlil Gibran. Although it is known to be an Arabic literature writer, it is mainly cited for his English literature masterpiece The Prophet (1367 times).
- Unlike the other languages communities, this community has a higher rate of specialized poets (50%) and women (50%) within it.
- Just like the main Arabic literature community, the English literature is only constituted from members from the Middle East and does not involve any writer from the Maghreb. In fact, it includes 4 Palestinian people, 3 Lebanese people, and one Egyptian. The significant domination of Palestine in Arab English Literature is mainly explained by the originality of the semantic structures used by these authors to highlight the situation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and increase the awareness of English speaking people about it (Ludescher, 2006; Majaj,
