For its first axis, the award chose the title “Linguistic and graphic studies in the Qur’anic discourse,” which includes research that deals with the analysis of the Qur’anic discourse from a grammatical, morphological, rhetorical, or lexical perspective, in addition to modern stylistic studies and other branches of linguistic knowledge that are concerned with the verses of revelation and reveal their meanings, rulings, and aspects of their miracle.
The second axis, “Modern Lexical Studies,” honors specialized research in developing the lexical industry, analyzing its methods, and monitoring transformations in lexical work in light of scientific and technical variables.
The total value of the prize is $100,000, distributed equally between the two axes, with the first place winners receiving $30,000 each, while the second place winners will receive $20,000 each.
Dr. Muhammad Safi Al Mosteghanemi, Secretary-General of the Academy, confirmed that the award continues its path established by His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, in order to serve the Arabic language and its sciences and support specialized research in it.
He pointed out that choosing the focus of linguistic and graphic studies in the Qur’anic discourse stems from the status of the Holy Qur’an as the miraculous Arabic text that has inspired scholars throughout the ages, while the focus of modern lexical studies reflects the need to develop the Arabic lexicon in light of digital developments and language processing technologies.
