Phatic function of Jakobson linguistic theory in Meccan and Madani Surahs (The first and the last parts of Quran)

The phatic function is one of the six functions of language that helps us understand the text . From the point of view of Roman Jakobson, each of these functions is related to one of the elements involved in the transmission of the message; they are called emotive, conative, referential, poetic, pathic and metalinguistic functions. The phatic function is when the communication channel is considered. The issue of this research is to find the answer to the question whether the phatic function exists in the Qur'an or not, and if so, how abundant and diverse it is in the Meccan and Madani verses. Likewise, the aim is to examine the views of Muslim commentators on these verses. By studying part 1 of the Qur'an as Madani verses and the Meccan parts of part 30, with an analytical-descriptive method, we came to the conclusion that, firstly, there are verses with the phatic function in the Qur'an, and secondly, the frequency and variety of this type of function in the Meccan verses is more than in the Madani verses. Also, we came to the conclusion that in the traditional interpretations of the Qur'an, we can find materials related to this function.
