Abstract

This study investigates the relational semantics of the word nafaṡa as found in QS. al-Falaq: 4, using Toshihiko Izutsu’s semantic theory to uncover the conceptual and ideological framework embedded in Qur’anic discourse. Through a qualitative-descriptive method and close textual analysis, the research explores the lexical, syntactic, and contextual dimensions of nafaṡa, highlighting its function as more than a physical act of ‘blowing.’ The analysis reveals that nafaṡa serves as a semantic node within a network of oppositional concepts—namely al-syarr (evil), al-‘uqad (knots, internal constraints), and al-taḥṣīn (divine safeguarding)—forming part of the Qur’an’s spiritual cosmology. Far from being merely a linguistic unit, nafaṡa symbolizes a latent metaphysical threat that operates within the Qur’anic worldview and necessitates divine protection. The study contributes to Qur’anic linguistic scholarship by demonstrating how a single lexical item can encode complex ethical, psychological, and theological meanings when analyzed through relational semantics.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of speech acts in digital news discourse through an analytical examination of selected posts from the Arabic-language Instagram page of Al-Jazeera. Drawing on the theoretical framework of speech act theory as developed by Austin (1962) and Searle (1969), the research aims to identify the types and pragmatic functions of speech acts employed in visual-verbal posts related to political and social events. Using a descriptive-analytical method and qualitative content analysis, this study reveals that Al-Jazeera's Instagram posts do not merely perform an informative function; rather, they utilize a variety of speech act types—including assertives, directives, expressives, commissives, and declaratives—to construct meaning, influence perception, and guide public sentiment. The analysis highlights the strategic deployment of language in digital Arabic media to serve communicative intentions beyond mere news reporting. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how language operates as a pragmatic tool in shaping digital public discourse within Arabic media contexts.
