Defamiliarize and highlighting the twenty-seventh in the Holy Quran

Abstract

One of the important findings of Formalists is deviation from norm which is the basis ofdiscussions of stylistics and linguistics. They introduced literary language as deviated fromstandard language, studied the style likewise. In the early twentieth century, they took animportant step in departure from the established criteria; and they created the twoterminologies of defamiliarization and embossment. Quran, the eternal miracle of the Prophetof Islam (PBUH), although not a literary text, but it is a miracle in terms of verbal, linguisticand rhetorical aspects which requires deep and unique investigation. Implementing analytical methods, authors of the present research seek to introduce briefly the deviation from norm,defamiliarization and embossment , and then explore a variety of syntactic and semanticembossment in some verses of Holy Qur'an in the twenty-seventh chapter. The survey is made to understand that the use of figures of speech, metaphor, simile in Quran, which arethe integral parts of it, give certain meanings to Qur'an, and enables the readers to have multiple interpretations. Repetition is one of the most prominent aspects in this chapter.
