Abstract:   (1124 Views)
realm of Quranic language, which from among Alame Tabatabie's is the most comprehensive. He believes that the Quranic language is a mixture of various languages. The language of some of the Quran's propositions is declarative and describes objective events – both tangible and intangible; five groups of Quranic verses are as stated below:
  • Naturalistic verses: describe natural events and facts.
  • Social verses: describe social laws and social categories.
  • Ontological verses: describe philosophical and super natural events.
  • Verses which describe the Day of Resurrection, Heaven, and Hell.
The languages of some of the other verses of Quran are descriptive and non-cognitional. The explanation of commands and orders, devotion and worship, reward and retribution … are among the examples for this; also the language of the other verses is symbolic and allegoric. But it can be said that according to various evidences and reasons all Quranic propositions have a cognitional language.
Key Words: The Language of Quran - Quranic Propositions – Cognitional and Non-cognitional – Functionalism – Symbol – Allegory.
