A Study of Pragmatic and Rhetorical Argumentation in the Quranic Discourse (A Dialogue Between Brothers as a Model)
This research will focus on Quranic texts that include dialogue between brothers related by blood, rather than brothers in other relationships. The aim of this article is to uncover the argumentative nature of the Quranic story and to illustrate its manifestations and forms through the dialogue between brothers, with the purpose of influence and persuasion. This study relies on a descriptive-analytical methodology, utilizing a pragmatic argumentative approach that describes the argumentative phenomena embedded in the Quranic story and analyzes and applies evidence according to the mechanisms of argumentative theory. The goal is to lead the recipient to accept submission and submission to God – the Almighty. Expected results of this study include: argumentative connections either contributing to the alignment and cooperation of arguments to achieve a single result, or the contradiction of arguments to achieve opposite results intended to be reached. The purpose of argumentative factors is to limit argumentative possibilities and constrain them. Rhetorical argumentation represents a mode of expression that enhances the ability to persuade. Division, or the breakdown of arguments into parts, is one of the most important rhetorical argumentative mechanisms in the story of the dialogue between brothers, especially in the words of the brothers of Yusuf (AS).
