Detached Exclusion in the Holy Quran: A semantic Study

Abstract

This research deals with the method of detached exclusion in the Qur’an from a semantic perspective. Its purpose is to highlight the detached exclusion’s semantic function in the Qur’an text, and the features of the linguistic formulation that the holly Qur’an has in its structures and methods which is distinguished with. This method is discussed from two aspects: a theoretical aspect in which the concept of exclusion in general, and the concept of detached exclusion in particular are presented in a grammatical and semantic style. The views of scholars of rhetoric in this method are highlighted, too. As for the practical aspect, the semantic functions of the detached exclusion methods mentioned in the Qur’an are explored. The research concluded that detached exclusion is one of the influential eloquent methods that work to empower and determine meaning in the mind of the recipient. It has characteristics and semantic functions that distinguish it from the linked exclusion, other than that restricted to grammarians, rhetoricians and interpreters.
