A God-man negotiation : politeness in glorious Quran

Abstract EN

The current study shows that politeness principles strategies are used in the God-man negotiation in the Glorious Quran.

the paper proves that imperative form is not as impolite in the context of Quran as it is in other types of interaction among the interlocutors.

we can say that instructions and requests can be divided in a God-man interaction as politeness strategies because they imply that God undertakes only a small distance between him and the addressees.

this paper will contribute to demystifying and justifying how democratic speech of peace, and transparency that permeated the verses of the Glorious Quran should be implemented by people.

regardless of the hierarchical level of authority between God “allah” and his selected prophets, Glorious Quran verses were used to show the abundance of politeness strategies in randomly selected verses by the speech of God in his negotiations.

understanding principles of politeness that are coded by brown and levinson (1978) will shed light on understanding of the types of God-man interaction in the Glorious Quran.

as morality is a common aspect to all religions, further examination is required to accurately comprehend the miraculous pragmatic signs that are common in Glorious Quran and how politeness functions in other divine religions.
