Designing a Model for Structural Cognition of Surahs by Patterning of Theories in the Field of Narration; a Case Study of Surah Noah

Although structural surah-oriented interpretation of Quran has opened new horizons for interpreters, it still has several imperfections and deficiencies in terms of the method. One of these defects is the lack of a clear systematic model in the structural interpretation of surah which can be corrected by modeling theories from humanities. Narratology as a branch of linguistics is the science chosen for modeling in this article. The present study has been done with the purpose of modeling theories from narratology, their localization in the field of comprehension of Quran and designing a structural model for cognition of surahs. In this analytical research by using some of the narratological theories, a predefined model for cognition of surahs has firstly been designed, and then this model has been examined in the Noah chapter which whole of it is narration. The result of this study indicate that the model designed with a modeling of narratology can draw accurate and comprehensive roles of surah’s concepts and structure.
