Translate the Qur'anic text: Double articulation and syntagmatic organization

Main Article Content

Mokhtar Zouaoui

Abstract

This article is intended to serve some related purposes. The first one is to
propose, for the Qur'anic text, a syntactic organization. Based on the concept of
double articulation borrowed from linguistics and implementing the concepts
of Sura, Verse and al-waqf (pause) provided by the Qur'anic sciences, this
proposed organization can be used in different subsequent analyzes such as
syntactic, semantic, rhetorical, stylistic or otherwise, or for other purposes such
as translation. The translation of the Quranic text cannot be conducted in good
conditions without its modes are illustrated closing and forms of joints. After
being established, we will propose a division of Surat in three parts, an incipit,
development and excipit and discuss during the translation of the concept of 'aya
(verse) in twenty different translations.
