Discussion of the Student Hussein Ramadan Abdullah’s Thesis

On Sunday morning 08/14/2022 a master’s thesis, titled (Emotional Language in Qur’anic Stories) was discussed at the Department of Arabic Language at the College of Arts at Basrah University.

The thesis presented by the student Hussein Ramadan Abdullah included three chapters. The first chapter discussed the relationship of emotion with language, the second chapter included the emotional expression in the stories of the prophets and messengers (peace be upon him), and the third chapter discussed the emotional expression in the stories of people other than the prophets and messengers (peace be upon him).

 

The thesis aims to identify:

 1) How the Qur’an expresses emotion in its stories, and the linguistic aspects that the Qur’anic stories focused on in highlighting psychological emotion.

 2) The nature of emotional language and its characteristics in the Holy Qur’an and its importance in general.

 

The thesis recommended:

 1) Urging linguists to deal with the origins of grammatical, morphological, rhetorical and other rules from a psychological and emotional perspective, and to return everything that was expelled, diminished and deviated in use, and what was auditory or analogous to the passive language function that emotion gives to language.

 2) The need to take into account the psychological aspect of the language and not neglect it or consider it unimportant.
