Abstract
Troponymy is one of the lexical relations that exist in language. This relation is concerned with the manner that accompanies the acts of verbs. This study aims at: identifying the role of manner in differentiating between the troponyms in the Glorious Qur‟an and the reasons behind selecting specific troponyms instead of others. It also aims at showing the most frequent aspects of manner that exist among the troponyms in the Glorious Qur‟an, and presenting a full description of troponymy relations that can help in attaining more accurate renditions of the verbs in the Glorious Qur‟an. This study arrives at the following conclusions: Arabic in general, and the Glorious Qur‟an in particular, is rich in troponyms in various and different aspects of manner, the inclusion of the semantic components of meaning is the main way that can help in determining the troponymous relations among the verbs in language, the lexical choice of each troponym in the Glorious Qur‟an is compatible exactly with the context in which each one is used, and because the translators tend to be faithful to the religious text, they adopt the semantic translation in rendering the troponyms in the Glorious Qur‟an much more than the communicative one.
