Conversational implicature in Quranic Discourse/Surat Al-Anbiya as a Model.

Abstract

The study, entitled (conversational implicature in Quranic Discourse/Surat Al-Anbiya as a Model), aims to monitor the theory of dialogical imperative that prevailed in contemporary pragmatic studies, while exploring its roots in rhetorical thought by means of a comparison between some of the rhetoricians’ terms that almost match the definition of dialogical imperative among pragmatics, as well as pointing to the convergence of the two fields in the approach to studying and analyzing texts within their contextual circumstances and spatial layers. And their awareness of how the meaning of the discourse moves from the literal performative force (situational/real meaning) to the necessary fulfillment force (useful/metaphorical meaning), while adhering to the principle of general cooperation between the parties to the dialogueThe study extracted selected examples from the surah and analyzed them in a pragmatic analysis on the informational and guidance discourse in two independent sections, with reference to the justifications for expressing the meaning in an implicit, indirect way, without the apparent superficial connotations during the analysis of the selected examples.
