Abstract

The article aims to analyse the Qur’ānic revelation as a communicative act. Therefore, referring to Jakobson’s communication model, the Qur’ānic discourse is explored through the six linguistic functions, while highlighting the peculiarities of the message that God addresses to Muḥammad through Gabriel. In particular, given that God accomplishes His goal by using the Arabic language as a common code to both the Prophet and his community, the article also focuses on the relevance of the Arabic language as key point of the revelation and its implications for the Qur’ān itself. From this perspective, through Abū Zayd’s ‘contextualist’ approach, emphasis is placed on the distinction between the specific linguistic code of the Text, i.e. the Qur’ānic language, and the linguistic system of the culture within which the Text emerged.

Abstract

L’articolo si propone di analizzare la rivelazione coranica come atto comunicativo. Prendendo quindi come riferimento il modello comunicativo di Jakobson, si esplora il discorso coranico attraverso le sei funzioni linguistiche, mettendo in evidenza le specificità del messaggio che Dio rivolge a Muḥammad attraverso Gabriele. In particolare, dal momento che Dio realizza il Suo scopo utilizzando la lingua araba come codice comune sia al Profeta che alla sua comunità, l’articolo si concentra anche sulla rilevanza della lingua araba come punto chiave della rivelazione e sulle sue implicazioni per il Corano stesso. In questa prospettiva, attraverso l’approccio ‘contestualista’ di Abū Zayd, viene posto l’accento sulla distinzione tra il codice linguistico specifico del Testo, cioè la lingua coranica, e il sistema linguistico della cultura all’interno della quale il Testo apparì.
