Abstract:
Qur’anic modes of recitation or readings, among which seven established modes are prevalent in our Arab and Islamic worlds, constitute a rich source of linguistic knowledge, specifically at grammatical and morphological levels. On top of these seven modes are the Kufan Imam, Asim’s on the authority of Imam Hafs, the Madinean; Imam Nafi`’s on the authority of Imam Warsh, the Egyptian. The present article thus addresses these two dominant modes of recitation both syntactically and semantically. It identifies the contrastive structural aspects and their disparities, classifying these aspects and indicating their semantic impact. This is done in an attempt trace a syntactic pattern in each mode through their grammatical choices towards determining their characteristic syntactic features. To do this, the present study adopts a descriptive and analytical approach in examining comparable syntactic and morphological aspects in Warsh and Hafs recitation modes. It is thus divided into three sections covering disparity on noun, verb and particle levels. The study then concludes with certain findings based on the examination of structural disparities between the two modes, most prominently that the two modes differ syntactically. One of these syntactic differences is reading the verb kana in Warsh mode as Taam (complete) verb on more than six occasions, unlike the case in Hafs mode. Other syntactic aspects of Warsh mode include lightening of some doubled letters on certain occasions, where it differs from Hafs mode.
