Non-verbal signals in the quranic discourse

Abstract EN

Non-verbal signals refer to the movements when human beings use to communicate with each other without speech or writing.

They are important in communication as face-to-face conversation if not take the limelight from it.

However, more research is necessary to confirm this point.

This paper is an attempt to identify the non-verbal signals in the Qura'nic discourse by analysing, and characterizing them first and then exploring how they are manifested in the Holy Qura'n.

The paper shows that the Quranic discourse is abundant with non-verbal signals which are useful to understand the creator's inclination in different degrees.

They are considered important in the Qura'nic discourse, therefore Almighty God enriches the verbal message to make it more persuasive and understandable for the reader.
