چکیده

the non-linear order of revelations is often considered by many scholars to signify lack of coherence, disunity, and fragmentariness. it seems that 'coherence' and the related terms have veiled a significant linguistic feature of the qur’an, namely, the non-linear nature of revelations, which might be used to make a distinction between ordinary and quranic discourse. we will argue that to unveil the non-linearity, we should consider revelations in relation to god who reveals himself in language not as an ordinary speaker whose speech is limited to a certain context, with a beginning and an end. we should not expect god to speak like a man. the qur’an, thus, is seen here as a non-temporal, non-linear text that reflects its divine origin, by systematically destructing the spacio-temporal context and the linear order of language.
