Abdulwahab kh. A. Quranic, statistic, and semantic survey in the light of psychological linguistics

Abstract

This research examines select terms in the Qur'an that reveal fundamental human characteristics. The Qur'an employs rich linguistic expressions to depict humans in all emotional states—joy, anger, sorrow, victory, and defeat—using words like 'ajūlān (impetuous) to describe short-sightedness, ya`ūs kafūr (despairing, ungrateful) in hardship, and farḥ (boastful joy) in prosperity, reflecting instability and perpetual anxiety. Through semantic analysis, the study evaluates these terms within their Qur'anic contexts, uncovering their intended meanings, wisdom, and objectives. The phenomenon of linguistic exaggeration (mubālagha) has been approached diversely by linguists, rhetoricians, exegetes, and morphologists, leading to terminological ambiguities. This complicates defining such terms under the Qur'an's textual framework. The research is structured as follows: Introduction: Conceptualizes mubālagha (exaggeration), Section

 1:Analyzes positive behavioral traits, Section

2: Explores negative behavioral traits, Conclusion: Synthesizes key findings.
