Sociolinguistic Features in Holy Selected Qura'nic Verses of Surat Al- baqarah

Abstract

The present study '' Sociolinguistic features in Holy Selected Qur'anic Verses of Surat Al baqarah'' is carried out by the researcher with the purpose of investigating and analyzing the social linguistic influences in Qur'anic meaning. The main focus of this topic is to approach the Qur'anic texts from the point of view of sociolinguistics. The point of view is that sociolinguistic features can determine the sociological background of the speaker through various speech habits and patterns. One of the priorities of this research is to find the terminology of sociolinguistics and its impact in the imagination of the reader. The most important of those terms is what belong to terms of power speech and solidarity. The Holy Qur'an is considered one of the most important linguistic texts that addressed different types of people through different speech communities. The study attempts to find variations of sociolinguistic terms concerning power speech and solidarity in a speech community according to social situation including: place, role-relationship and topic that constitute a typical linguistic domain. The researcher purports to find words and expressions that are the basis of the Arab-Muslims community configuration. The researcher will substantiate these facts, firstly, by surveying the findings of some well – known sociolinguists like William Labove and John Gumberz who have studied the traditions of writing argumentative texts concerning variations within a speech community. The researcher also depends on the celebrated linguist like Noam Chomsky who has studied an ideal speaker-listener, in a completely homogenous speech community. Secondly, it is to subject Holy Qur'anic texts to a possible discourse analysis.
