Abstract
Surah Noah is one of the richest surahs of the Quran, and the main focus of this surah is on the relationship between Prophet Noah and his people and the words that they said to each other. God made Prophet Noah and his other prophets fully aware of the power of verbal communication to talk to people in the best way. Therefore, examining and analyzing the communication pattern and linguistic functions in this surah has particular importance Mindful people like Roman Jacobsen have investigated the structure of verbal communication. The current research shows the pattern of verbal communication and language function in Surah Noah. Our method in this descriptive-analytical research is based on Jacobsen's communication theory. The results show that Surah Noah, even though it is a short surah, has all linguistic functions and even sometimes these functions interfere with each other. The amount of use of referential and emotional function and then persuasive function prevails over other functions, and the amount of use of paralinguistic function is less compared to other functions. The reason for the predominance of referential and then persuasive and emotional functions is to show the importance of referring the receiver's mind to various topics and encouragement. Prophet Noah invited people to the right path with the techniques of persuasion. Rarely, Prophet Noah speaks to people with signs so that everyone can use his words according to their understanding and intellect.
