College of Education for Humanities

The College of Education for the Humanities at the University of Mosul discussed a Ph.D. dissertation titled Additions to the Conditional Style in the Holy Qur’an – A Semantic Study on Sunday, January 12, 2025.

Part of the discussion was attended by Professor Hazim Dhanoon Ismael, Dean of the College, Professor Ghanem Saleh Sultan, Head of the Arabic Language Department, and several faculty members.

The dissertation, submitted by the student Ahmed Abdelilah Ahmed, offered a semantic study of the term adjuncts associated with the conditional style. These adjuncts are also known by other terms such as constraints, modifiers, complements, and others. The researcher chose the term additions to encompass all these meanings.

The study focused on collecting and analyzing these additions found in the conditional style of the Holy Qur’an. The analysis was conducted at lexical, morphological, syntactical, and semantic levels.

The study aimed to highlight the role of these additions in the conditional style and reconsider labeling them as expendable elements that can be omitted. It demonstrated their functionality in both the first and second parts of the conditional structure.

The discussion committee was chaired by Professor Hazim Dhanoon Ismael, with members including:

Professor Ashwaq Mohammed Ismael, Professor Mohammed Ismael Mohammed, Assistant Professor Abdul Salam Marai, and Assistant Professor Israa Ghanem Ahmed.

The dissertation was supervised by Assistant Professor Mohammed Mahmoud Saeed.
