Types Of Causative Nominal Predication In Madni Quran: A Stylistic Study

Abstract

This is a descriptive, stylistic, linguistic study that addresses nominal predication from a new perspective that seeks to reveal the logical causative relationship between the nominal subject (ạl̊mub̊tadāủ) and the nominal predicate) ạl̊kẖabaru( in the nominal predication. The study is meant to identify the types of nominal structures that express causative meaning from other nominal predications. This study is unique in the sense that it follows and enumerates the structural forms of nominal subject (ạl̊mub̊tadāủ) and the nominal predicate (ạl̊kẖabaru) in Madni Qur’an. It is concerned with extrapolating the rich semantic meanings in them, defining the deep stylistic functions that explain the levels of structures according to the verbal and semantic context, and according to the status of the recipient and his willingness to receive the discourse with approval, doubt or denial, identifying the regular synthetic means that goes with the original rule or digresses from it by deletion, precedence and deferment and the resulting aesthetic effect and other various semantical rules.
