SYNECDOCHICAL APPLICATIONS IN THE HOLY QURAN (RHETORICAL STUDY)

Abstract

Rhetoric is one of the branches of linguistics in Arabic. Therefore, the synecdoche (المجاز المرسل) is a major figure of speech and its relationships are applied in some other meaning than its real or literal meaning. With the help of this knowledge, one can illustrate the miraculous nature of the holy Quran. The Quranic style bears several pieces of evidence of synecdoche (المجاز المرسل). The descriptive method is aimed for accurate consideration of synecdochical sense of the Quranic words and their contextual relevance. This study is divided into three main sections: The first deals with the introduction of synecdoche, the second is consists of the relations of synecdoche and the third main section is synecdochical applications in the holy Quran. According to the main findings the research facilitates the scholars and general reciters for a proper understanding of the Quranic themes.
