| Abstract | ||||
| This study attempts to examine the sign symbolic-structural space in terms of genre-based grammar, across the narrativity-like discourse of sura-t- Al Esraa. Genre-based Grammar is conducted across the Cognitive Grammar/CG (Goldberg, 1995). The CG method points to the use of Prepositional Phrases/PPs (i.e., space builders) to reach an interpretive coherent sense across the sura's syntactic-thematic constructions. The sign multiple interpretations are conducted across some evaluated thematic cognitive paths across the ST and the TT of the Qur'anic English rendition of sura-t Al-Esraa, by Seyyed Hossein Nasr, 2015. The results of the study show; a) the significance of the prepositional phrases/PP as space builders serving the function of space information transfer; b) the PP has their prototypical scenes' senses across the evaluative instances; and c) the NPCs in ST have no adequate equivalents in TT. In fin, the PPs serve the cognitive symbolic sign-based message structural genre. | ||||
