New Horizons in Qur'anic Linguistics provides a panoramic insight
into the Qur'anic landscape fenced by innate syntactic, semantic
and stylistic landmarks where context and meaning have closed ranks
to impact morphological form in order to achieve variegated
illocutionary forces. It provides a comprehensive account of the
recurrent syntactic, stylistic, morphological, lexical, cultural,
and phonological voids that are an iceberg looming in the horizon
of Qur'anic genre. It is an invaluable resource for contrastive
linguistics, translation studies, and corpus linguistics. Among the
linguistic topics are: syntactic structures, ellipsis, synonymy,
polysemy, semantic redundancy, incongruity, and contrastiveness,
selection restriction rule, componential features, collocation,
cyclical modification, foregrounding, backgrounding, pragmatic
functions and categories of shift, pragmatic distinction between
verbal and nominal sentences, morpho-semantic features of lexical
items, context-sensitive word and phrase order, vowel points and
phonetic variation. The value of European theoretical linguistics
to the analysis of the Qur'anic text at a macro level has been
overlooked in the academic literature to date and this book
addresses this research gap, providing a key resource for students
and scholars of linguistics and specifically working in Arabic or
Qur'anic Studies.
