| Abstract | ||
| Holy Quran is a complete source of all kinds of discourses in which two types of discourse could be observed: dialogical and artistic. This article is to investigate the second type as internal and external discourses. Then we are to study the artistic discourse within the story of Joseph the Prophet (Yusef) as a way to get to know the characters and their roles in the story. Next, in order to depict the unique characteristics of the Holy Quran, we will focus on the language, structure, and dream in the mentioned sora of Yusof. The language and structure of that story is on the basis of reality and truth, as opposed to the non-Quranic stories which use imagination as a tool to reach their artistic aims. Discourse Aalysis have been already applied to other soras in Quran such as Maryam, Kahf and Ghesas. However, this article is rather new in the way it tries to focus more on linguistic and stylistic aspects. The most important result of this paper is that the Quranic stories are real and on the basis of truth, discourse is used as a way to reach the axe of artistic beauty without imagination. Discourse used with repetition and brevity as well as the element of dream which is so essential in the story of Yusof, along with the “forecasting” of the events as a result of dreams, have all made the story a unique one which could attract contemporary readers as a specially beautiful source of inspiration. Key Words: Discourse Types. Narrative Discourse, Functions of Discourse, Discourse Beauty. | ||
