Opis

Qur’anic idiomaticity, in particular Qur'anic idiomatic phrasal verbs, pose a great deal of challenge to the Qur’an readers, learners, commentators and translators. By examining a corpus of influential English translations, this study scrutinises the ways translators of the Qur’an deal with the phenomenon of Qur’anic Idiomatic Phrasal Verbs.
