Abstract
Abstract
Silent language is considered one of the most vital mechanisms for establishing the "text world" within discourse. It parallels spoken or written language in terms of communicative capacity and significance; verbal or written elements are not the sole means of achieving communicative goals, as they are complemented by non-linguistic and physical (situational) factors.
Accordingly, this study aims to uncover a linguistic phenomenon in the Sacred Text that has seldom been independently addressed by text linguists: the phenomenon of "Silent Language." The study seeks to demonstrate how this language is manifested in the Qur'anic text, arguing that " Exophoric Reference" is one of its most prominent manifestations, being a significant form of the "signifying unsaid."
Furthermore, the research aims to illustrate its impact in achieving a holistic meaning, which enhances the discursive and persuasive authority of the Qur'anic text. It also highlights the interaction between the Qur'anic text and the various surrounding events, reinforcing the text's vitality and flexibility.
Methodologically, the study adopts a Descriptive Approach to characterize the linguistic phenomenon and its manifestations in the Holy Qur'an, alongside Analytical Pragmatic and Semantic Analysis approaches to deconstruct the extracted models and clarify their role in meaning construction.
The study reached several key results, most notably: that the Qur'anic text serves as a fundamental reference for sociology and sociolinguistics, and that situational or external reference in the Holy Qur'an fulfills five basic functions: Pragmatic, Semantic, Educational, Argumentative, and Cohesive Textual functions.
