Text Linguistics of Qur'anic Discourse

<p>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, <i>Text Linguistics of Qur'anic Discourse</i> 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.</p> Introduction, Chapter One: Text Linguistics, Chapter Two: Qur'anic Macro Text, Chapter Three: Argumentation Structure in Qur'anic Discourse, Chapter Four: Ellipsis in Qur'anic Discourse, Chapter Five: Coherence in Qur'anic Discourse, Chapter Six: Cohesion in Qur'anic Discourse, Chapter Seven: The Notion of Linguistic Inimitability of Qur'anic Discourse, Chapter Eight: General Observations on Qur'anic Text Linguistics
