Abstract

The study of the Qur’anic language as a technical term, is one of the
fundamentals of comprehending and interpreting Quran, in addition to being
a significant, new and unchallenged issue, This issue comprises various
subjects as the style of Qur'antc language and its function (giving knowledge or
motivating), having one or numerous meanings (semantically), being clear or
ambiguous (methodologically) and etc.
In this article, having proposed the introductory matters and clarified the
concept of language, the language of Qur'an and its different aspects and the
style of salvation discourse has been discussed, The author, reviewing the
theories of general and specific custom (‘urf) and its different approaches to
the methodology of Qur'anlc language, has examined and discussed them,
choosing the theory of centrality of characteristics, based on the essential
features of Qur'an. This theory suggests that depending on both deep
structure and surface structure of Quranic language, that is its content and
geometrical combination, Qur'an has a unique language.
