“THE FORMS OF EXPRESSİON OF RESTRICTION STYLE IN THE TURKISH RHETORIC AND EVALUATION OF THE TURKISH TRANSLATIONS OF THE QUR’ĀN IN TERMS OF REFLECTING RESTRICTION STYLE”
OSMAN ARPAÇUKURU
Abstract Of Title
Restriction is a concise, strong, and qualified literary style that the Qur’an refers to quite often. On this style, it is expressed that something exists in a certain thing, but not in anything else. The scientific studies on restriction style in Turkish language and rhetoric are too few in number. The lack of information caused by this situation leads to significant problems of language and expression in the translations of the Qur’an. Loss of meaning is encountered and the divine wisdom and purpose, which require a certain way of hasr (restriction), are lost as well.There are some scientific publications that examine the Qur’an translations in terms of restriction. The difference of this research is that it is solution oriented. The research examines the ways of restriction in the Turkish rhetoric, and thus, makes it possible to overcome the language and expression problems related to hasr in the translations of the Qur’an. In this research, twenty translations of the Qur’an with classical, academic and social-based nature are examined and criticized. Arabic and Ottoman Turkish sources of rhetoric and exegesis books as well as Turkish grammar books and Ottoman and Turkish dictionaries are benefited in the critique of the translations of the Qur’an.
Keywords: Rhetoric, Restriction Style, the Holy Qurʾān, Translations of the Qurʾān, Language and Style Problems.
