Deixis in the Qur’anic Discourse: A Textual-Pragmatic Approach

This study explores the phenomenon of deixis in the Qur'anic discourse from a textual-pragmatic perspective, considering deixis as linguistic elements whose interpretation depends on their contextual and situational use.The research aims to uncover the pragmatic dimension of deictic expressions by analyzing their functions and roles in constructing meaning within the Qur'anic text.It focuses on three main types of deixis: pronouns, temporal adverbials, and spatial adverbials, highlighting how these elements guide comprehension and structure the communicative relationship between speaker and addressee.The study adopts a descriptive-analytical methodology, drawing upon insights from pragmatic linguistics, particularly theories related to context and situation.It concludes that Qur'anic deictic expressions are not static or merely grammatical tools, but rather dynamic semantic structures whose meanings shift according to the discourse situation.This dynamism grants the Qur'anic text a unique communicative character that aligns with the reader's context and enhances the depth of interpretation.The findings emphasize the importance of integrating a pragmatic perspective in contemporary Qur'anic studies, as it offers a more precise understanding of textual structure and semantic fluidity, and reveals the text's ongoing capacity to interact with diverse interpretive contexts.
