The deep semantics of the rhetorical style in the speech of the dignified guests of Abraham
Abstract
This research deals with the study of rhetorical methods/styles from the perspective of semantics and rhetoric in the speech of the honored guests of Abraham in the three positions in the holy Koran. The researcher attempted to reveal the semantic secrets and the moral tones underlying the structures of these rhetorical methods after deep analysis and exploration of the depths of the moral fields that came/were used to express them. The researcher insisted on revealing how the previous and subsequent contexts affected and were affected by those methods and their implications. By careful exploration and induction, it has been found that the speech has carefully used the predicate of the subject with all its types, questioning, metaphor, synecdoche, euphemism. The research concluded that deep connotations and precise moral tones of the structures of these methods were observed through exploring the topics that came/were used to express them in the speech of the guests to their host. The research also proved that no other structures could be used to convey the same message.
