ABSTRACT
The present chapter aims to provide a thorough stylistic and pragmatic analysis of Q18 (sūrat al-kahf) that can be a model for contrastive and corpus linguistics. Similarly, the current approach can be taken as a model for the investigation of other sūrahs. The analysis focuses on the grammatical, semantic, morphological, stylistic and phonetic landmarks of Q18 together with any relevant pragmatic functions. Sūrat al-kahf is the sixty-eighth sūrah in terms of revelation and is revealed after Q88 (sūrat al-ghāshiyah) and before Q42 (sūrat al-shūrā).
