Abstract

This study investigates evidence for the existence of iconicity as a processing strategy in Quranic discourse. It is argued here that the Muslim’s most glorious book, the Quran, is an excellent source of morphosyntactic iconicity in the Arabic language. The hypothesis was tested by analysing sixty-six binomials from Al-Baqarah Sura within a synthetic model based on an extension of Givón’s 1984 model of iconicity. The findings show that some of the sampled iconic binomials accord with these principles, while others are iconic with regard to the human perceptual system. This result challenges Saussurian arbitrariness and lends support for the view that some aspects of language are iconic. Furthermore, iconic binomials are richly manifested in Quranic lexicon and discourse. This is because they are part of the rhetoric of Quran. Allah has created everything in pairs: night and day, death and life, sun and moon, paradise and hell, etc. These pairs express such  rhetorical functions as revealing situation, warning, promising, inhibition, specification, etc. They also express Allah’s intention in motivating people to make a balance between benefits and problems of each pair. The role played by iconic binomials can be easily tested by removing some of them from the suras of Quran and asking what happens then. On such cases, the Quranic rhetoric is distorted rather than unites. Above all, such binomials are cross linguistics, they are universal since they are found in all languages. This conclusions challenges Sapir-Worf hypothesis and lends support to an assumption of a minimal universality of linguistic interactions.

Abstract

Ellipsis in language is not just the dropping of words or phrases but rather a means of condensation and suggestion, as it allows the reader to reconstruct the meaning and explore what lies behind the words. Ghassan Kanafani invested this method in his novel to express the loss and disorientation experienced by his characters and to create an open space for contemplation of the suffering and pain of the Palestinian people. The novel Men in the Sun by the Palestinian writer Ghassan Kanafani is one of the most prominent literary works that deals with the issue of displacement and the Palestinian struggle in a unique artistic style. In exploring this distinctive text's creative and semantic aspects, ellipsis emerged as one of the linguistic methods the writer relied on to express meanings indirectly, adding deep aesthetic and suggestive dimensions to the text. The current study aims to shed light on the manifestations of and analyze its linguistic and semantic functions in the text and how it enhanced the humanitarian and political messages the writer wanted to convey. Moreover, the impact of ellipsis on the reader's experience and the extent of its success as an artistic tool in enriching the novel's narrative structure is reviewed.
