INTERPERSONAL METAPHOR OF MOOD APPLIED TO SOME VERSES OF THE HOLY AL-QUR’AN
Abstract: This article is the
result of a descriptive qualitative research which examine to what extent the
theory of Interpersonal Metaphor of mood postulated by Halliday (1994) is
relevant to be applied to the verses of the Holy al-Qur’an. The InterpersonalMetaphor
applied in this survey covers the three kinds of mood which constitute indicative
mood, interrogative mood and imperative mood. This work, however, does not
cover the Interpersonal Metaphor of modality. The result shows that someverses
of the Holy al-Qur’an use the transference of mood in conveying messages: some
indicative moods are expressed in the interrogative and imperative, some imperative
moods in the indicative and interrogative, and some interrogative moodsin the
indicative and imperative. The writer
maintains that Halliday’s theory ofInterpersonal
Metaphor can be justified as an adequate linguistic theory.
