A Phono-Pragmatic Analysis of Some Homonymous items in the Glorious Qur’an with Reference to their Realizations in English

Abstract

The current study deals with the precise selection of  certain Quranic homonymous items which are used in certain  Ayahs rather than near-synonymous ones. It also tackles the fact that certain sounds come appropriately with certain items relying on the criterion of meaning as well as how such phenomenon is rendered into English. Its importance results from the fact that it leads to full realization of Quranic items and reveals the discreteness of Quranic usage. Thus, this paper studies the relation between the accurate characteristics of certain sounds and the meaning of items: strong meanings require strong sounds and weak meanings require weak sounds
