Abstract

One of the rhetorical representations employed in the Qur’an elaborately expressing certain concepts is metaphor. In the repertoire of metaphors, verbs containing extended metaphors are of special significance due to the complexities of discovering the intended meanings. The neglected issue regarding metaphor is the ‘common ground’ between a ‘tenor’ and a ‘vehicle’. Rhetoricians dealing with classifications of metaphors believe in a single type of association between ‘tenors’ and ‘vehicles’, but this seems to be subject to reconsideration. Using a descriptive-analytical method, the present study seeks to cast a new look at a special group of metaphorical expressions. To this end, the study illustrates the ‘common ground’ between the ‘tenor’ and ‘vehicle’ with a focus on collocations and substitutions, exploring their influence on the translation of Quranic verses with metaphorical concepts. The findings reveal that the ‘common ground’ in an extended metaphor is complex considering the functions of verbs in the conveyance of meanings, their relationships with other sentence components, as well as the differences between types of verbs in terms of grammatical persons, i.e., the first, second and third person. Such metaphors can be considered semi-fables in the Quran presenting more vivid imagery in its translation.
