Razumijevanje pluralnosti jezikā u muslimanskoj teologiji
Understanding the Plurality of Languages in Muslim Theology

Summary/Abstract: The first section of this paper analysed the understanding of the very essence of plurality in languages, predominantly from the perspective of tradition, that is to say, the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Eventually, the connection is formed between language plurality and cultural divergence, in other words between language uniformity and cultural monolith, or self-sufficiency. The principle of the Qur'an is to get acquainted with the fellow-person (at-ta'aruf), whereas it firstly has to occur on the language level. Language alterations are a kind of necessity in cultural plurality, and in fact such alterations additionally strengthen and give dynamics to the human spirit , they provide the language potential. In the second section of the paper, we discussed the necessity of the, at least, partial semantic reductionism while translating, due to the incorporation of foreign words within one's own language quintessence, since a person is alienated by everything which the person accepts but which had not been produced by them personally earlier, and the wider view, primarily the cultural, that is to say the contextual one, remains oblique, albeit it remains determined by the language substrate. Also, we pointed out that language denotes a living kernel, and we expressed its very subtle profiling within various scientific disciplines, as well as the very characteristic determination of our contemporariness which is formed from abbreviations, and in the process the meaning and the sense of what we are addressing is abandoned. Because of this, the essential language work and entry are disabled. In fact, such a language alienation or mystification does not all us any critique of our own social context, and it perpetuates the already-existing state.
