Conversational Implicature and its Realizations in the Persian and English Translations of the Holy Qurʹan: A Case Study of the Stories of Prophets Joseph and Moses1

This paper is an attempt to investigate the application of Griceʹs conversational implicatures in the stories of prophets Joseph and Moses in the Holy Qurʹan and their translation into Persian and English. To do so, the authors compared and contrasted the conversational implicatures in the stories of prophets Joseph and Moses in the Holy Qurʹan and its four English and four Persian translations. First, the conversational implicatures and their related conversational maxims, i.e. quality, quantity, relation, and manner principles, were analyzed and explained in the target verses. Secondly, the mechanisms and strategies of translating the related maxims and CIs in the analyzed verses were investigated. Since conversational implicatures are stated implicitly in the conversations of the Quranic stories, the translators had to explicate the implicit meanings of these conversational implicatures by making use of explicitation strategies. The investigated explicitation strategies in this paper are footnote, parenthesis, bracket, and application of no strategy.
