Abstract The study of continuity and coherence of the Qur'anic text have been discussed in Muslim tradition for a long time. Meanwhile, the contemporary views and approaches to this issue have been specially placed among the western Qur'anic scholars. In spite of the popular conviction of the western Qur'anic scholars that the Qur'an's text is dispersed, in the contemporary era, a group of them have relied on literary and linguistic approaches to prove the coherence of this sacred text. For the meantime, Neal Robinson is the first scholar that opposes the dominant approach with the use of new linguistic theories, and examines the coherence of the Holy Qur'an's text, especially in long madani surahs. Considering the importance of Robinson's position and method, we analyzed his method in this paper. The review of Robinson's latest works, which is devoted to the coherence of Sura Al-Imran, shows that he, with no mention of discourse analysis, has used components of discourse analysis, including Bottom-up Processing and Top-Down processing, as well as strategies of discourse analysis. Thus, he has shown the coherence and cohesion of the verses of the sura. Therefore, we could conclude that Robinson's method in proving coherence of sura is discourse analysis method.

Abstract There is a main problem in understanding of "Divine Khazain" (Divine Treasury): how can imagine objects in the KHAZAYIN ( Treasury) nearby the God. Material KHazain (physical treasury) is a place of objects like treasure and worth; nevertheless, God is everlasting and limitless. In the term of reason and not justification, can use the conceptual blending theory; critical use of this theory shows that among remaking of some functions can activate the mental space of "divine" which is correlates with Quranic discourse. Based on the Almizan (bu allameh Tabatabaie) interpretation, Emerge of creative meanings in the blended space reflects a new construe: relation between Divine Khazain and objects are as same as the relation between limitless and limited; hence, we can predicate Khazain ( Treasury) to Divine Khazain (Divine Treasury); yet, the container and the content can be consider the same. key words: Quran karim, Quranic discourse, cognitive semantics, conceptual blending

Abstract Today, one of the important areas in the study of the Holy Qur'an is the attention to the expressive style of this sacred text in the presentation of divine teachings, which has long been the source of rhetoric science.
In this regard, one of the expressive forms of the Holy Qur'an ,is the domain of the mythological expressions of this sacred text, which in our traditional literature is, to a large extent, the same talk of talismans, and with myths or the examination of nature The language of the mythical elements of the text is fundamentally different.
one of the mythological expressions of the Holy Qur'an, the references to this sacred text to the ancient model of the mum of the earth, was first worshiped in the great form of the mother of the old age, and then in its various historical periods, its significance and glory reduced. The present study seeks to answer this question. Considering the mythological background of the married woman of Mesopotamian civilization and the island of Saudi Arabia, can one recognize the various types of representations of this ancient Mam earth in the mythological expression of the Holy Qur'an? Given the verses of the Holy Qur'an, what is the quality of the earth in the collective subconscious mind of the Arabs of the Age of Descent? What is the function of these expressions in inducing divine concepts?
