الملخص
This paper aims at identifying the basic color terms in the Glorious Qur1an and making structural and semantic analyses of them. It is hypothesized that the Glorious Qur’an contains particular color terms that occupy various grammatical classes and indicates specific functions. Furthermore, some are linked to each other by semantic relations. The major findings arrived at are the following: Color terms used in the Glorious Qur’an have various structures in Arabic syntax. Secondly, semantic variations are found in many verses of the Glorious Qur’an that include color terms. Thirdly, cultural differences affect the usage of color in language. Finally, the use of color terms in the Glorious Qur’an is meant to apply different functions of the terms, such as the visual, the esthetic, the symbolic, and the expressive functions.
