Abstract:
Aesthetic semantic devices are among the rhetorical features widely used in the Qur’an. Their significance is such that the understanding and interpretation of some Qur’anic verses is impossible if those features are not fully taken into account. However, as the case is, the technical aspects of the rhetorical devices in the Qur’an have been overshadowed by the overemphasized aesthetic aspects of those devices. Using an analytical method and adopting an applied functional point of view, this study seeks to shed light on the role of semantic aestheticism in understanding the meaning and the music of Qur’anic utterances. The results of the study indicate that the aesthetic lexical features in the Book are of various technical functions, such as creating music based on parallel, proportionate or redundant notations as well as imagery by means of exaggerations and antitheses. These functions not only help to understand the meanings but also serve to resolve the ambiguities in some verses. In general, such an aestheticism in the rhetoric of the Qur’an sets the ground for polysemy, Socratic irony, elucidation, lexical isomorphism, and explicit-implicit sequences of related concepts.
