Parallel structure in Qur'anic discourse : linguistic and psycholinguistic implications \

Abstract EN

This Paper sets out to Shed Some Light on The Potential Role of Parallel Structure in the Creation and Processing of Qur'an Discourse.

To this Effect, One "sure" (Chapter) is analyzed with a View to Determining the Frequency and Distribution of Parallel Structure in this Discourse Type.

Then the potential role of this device in creating and processing uranic discourse is in ventilated.

It is argued that such a linguistic device cans immensely contribute to the cohesion and coherence of this type of discourse.

By the same token parallelism can have a facilitator impact on its processing and eventually understanding.

Finally, it is tentatively assumed that the implications of this study may offer certain insight into the creation and processing of other varieties of Arabic written discourse.
