Abstract:
This paper investigates the impact of the global financial crisis on the volatility
transmission across world´s stock markets. With this objective, twelve European and non-European markets were selected, representing over 62% of the
global capitalization, and the period from 4th October 1999 to 30th June 2011 was chosen. To investigate the volatility transmission process,
the multivariate GARCH VECH is considered, in order to identify the direction and the magnitude of volatility spillover and see whether the
global financial crisis led to changes at that level. The results showed that the own-volatility shocks and the cross-volatility shock effects
were more pronounced in bear markets sub-periods. Moreover, the own and cross-volatility shocks showed a significant increase during the global
financial crisis, putting markets at higher exposure to lagged market events.
Keywords: Global financial crisis, international stock markets, spillover effects, multivariate GARCH.

Abstract:
This paper presents novel classificatory differences between various
greeting terms in Jordanian Arabic (JA). The two classifications include marked/unmarked and pure/context-dependent greetings. The paper
also reviews the Islamic teachings in this respect, where we can find rich texts that specify the type of the greeting term, the significance
of exchanging greetings, the importance of initiating a greeting and responding to a greeting and who should greet who.
Furthermore, the paper provides a list of pure greetings terms, return greetings as well as the variants of both. Context-dependent greetings
are those that are not pure greetings and can be used as greetings in particular condition. These terms include √al- √a ⌉fj ⌶h ‘on health’ which is used in
greeting a person performing some physical task; Gaw ⁄⌶l - ⊗a ⌉nmi ⌉n ‘May Allah strengthen the winners.’ which is used in greeting a large group of people;
and hanhum ‘May Allah bless you with your food.’ which is used in greeting people who are dining.
Finally, the paper posited the situation under which greetings are dropped clarifying that some situations are predictable and -in some cases- excusable.
These situations can be personal due to unfamiliarity or lack of intimate feelings between the potential greeters or institutionalized by the community as
in happy or sad events where the initiator – overwhelmed by emotions- drops the greeter to express what is urgent instead.
Keywords: Greeting terms, Jordanian Arabic, marked/unmarked greetings, pure/context-dependent greetings, dropping a greeting.
