The Communicative Dimension in Quranic Discourse its Concept , Denotation, and Lanmarks

Abstract

The study of the communicative dimension in Quranic discourse aims to clarify the concept of communication within the Quran. Using inductive, analytical, and descriptive methods, it reveals that the Quran is structured to convey Allah's message to people, establishing a clear communicative discourse. Communication encompasses verbal, linguistic, figurative, and literal aspects, extending beyond words to include actions and behaviors. It is the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and emotions, encompassing both intellectual and sensory-emotional dimensions.  It involves conveying ideas, experiences, knowledge, and emotions, making it an interactive process influenced by linguistic, psychological, and social factors. Although the word "communication" does not explicitly appear in the Quran, research reveals that communicative features are deeply rooted within it, both at the stem level (و ص ل) - to communicate - in specific and general semantic contexts. The Quran sets guidelines for positive human interactions, addressing human needs through direct discourse and recognizing varying beliefs. It employs eloquent language and high rhetoric in its communication with people, while also engaging with daily societal issues. Additionally, it displays many aspects of warm and intimate discourse with individuals.
