The Eloquence of Ellipsis in the Qur'an in the Light of Al-Jurjani's Theory of Nazm
2023
Overview
In the Qur'an, the words that make up a verse are couched in a way that creates specific rhetorical effects. To have such an eloquent influence, the Qur'an utilizes several grammatical tools, the rifest of which is ellipsis. Since ellipsis can be a source of eloquence, this means that eloquence does not emerge from lafz (form) in isolation, but rather from words combined in a specific manner, whether elided or unelided, a concept that is known in the Arabic literary theory as nazm. Thus, this paper will expatiate upon ellipsis in the light of al-Jurjani's theory of nazm. In his pertinent treatise, Dala:ʔil al-ʔiʕja:z, al-Jurjani shows that neither words alone nor meanings alone can account for the inimitability of the Qur'an. Therefore, inspired by the principles of the theory of nazm, this paper found manifest support for at least five rhetorical functions of ellipsis in the Holy Qur'an.
