المقاصد الدلالية لألفاظ النوم في التعبير القرآني : دراسة في قصدية المعنى

Abstract EN

The artistic depiction of the Holy Qur'an has always interested the articulate speakers and had a great impact on its listeners.

Despite the fact the Holy Quran is composed of the very same words of such speakers and listeners, they get astonished by the choice of words and their occurrence in such precise positions, as well as their consistency with the messages they intend to convey.

These characteristics of the Quranic language have enlivened its verses and words.

Additionally, the breathtaking style of the Holy Quran motivates us to reflect on the way it approaches “sleep” and its glossary to represent it so eloquently and precisely though they may confuse those who are not familiar with the nature of Arabic styles and artistic expressions.

We have noticed, through this study, that the Holy Quran has selected terms that indicate “sleep” taking into consideration all the cognitive and connotative meanings of each term in a way that fits the topic it approaches.

All this has tempted us to investigate this topic aiming to explore the areas of inimitability of the scopes of “sleep” glossary and the inimitable choice of words in various contexts even if synonyms used interchangeably like “siesta” and “sleep”.

The study has concluded that semantic purposes have a noticeable effect on the context and that Quranic terms are associated with the occasions they represent in a way that creates a psychological inspiration and expansion in the terms' particular connotations, but all lost if replaced by other terms in those contexts.
