Author Description

"The Qur'an is read by millions of Muslims on a daily basis whether in its original Arabic version or in translated versions. Yet there is no book available to the reader, Arab or non-Arab, which provides a linguistic and rhetorical insight into Qur'anic discourse. This book explains Qur'an translational problems and provides a through account of the unique syntactic, semantic, phonetic, prosodic, pragmatic, and rhetorical features of the Qur'an."--BOOK JACKET.
