Text Linguistics of Qur'anic Discourse: An Analysis (Culture and Civilization in the Middle East)

Text Linguistics of Qur'anic Discourse is an in-depth investigation of the fabric of Qur'anic Discourse. It unravels the texture of the macro Qur'anic text; its cohesion and coherence systems; the notions of intertextuality, semantic relatedness, and thematic sequentiality; the macro textual features of ellipsis, repetition, and argumentation structure; and the contextual, co-textual, grammatical, and semantic factors involved in the macro Qur'anic text. This book is a valuable and methodologically consistent learning and teaching academic resource for universities worldwide in this intriguing new discipline. Through its methodologically coherent discussion and in-depth analysis that is hinged upon modern European text linguistics, Text Linguistics of Qur'anic Discourse provides an insight into the newly established discipline of text linguistics, and explores the different layers of the macro Qur'anic text as an academic requirement. --From publisher's description Series page 3 Title page 4 Copyright 5 Dedication 6 Contents 8 Preface 11 Acknowledgements 13 Arabic transliteration system 14 Introduction 16 1 Text linguistics 24 2 Qur’anic macro text 43 3 Argumentation structure in Qur’anic discourse 73 4 Ellipsis in Qur’anic discourse 146 5 Coherence in Qur’anic discourse 183 6 Cohesion in Qur’anic discourse 290 7 Linguistic inimitability of Qur’anic discourse 342 8 General observations on Qur’anic text linguistics 364 Bibliography 375 Index 382 Introduction -- Text Linguistics -- Qur'anic Macro Text -- Argumentation Structure In Qur'anic Discourse -- Ellipsis In Qur'anic Discourse -- Coherence In Qur'anic Discourse -- Cohesion In Qur'anic Discourse -- The Notion Of Linguistic Inimitability Of Qur'anic Discourse -- General Observations On Qur'anic Text Linguistics.
