Demonstrative pronouns are considered to be determiners used with nouns or instead of nouns to show either distance from or proximity to the speaker, like this and that in English. English has four demonstrative pronouns: this, that, these and those. Arabic has a richer variety of demonstratives as will be shown in the following sections. The present study aims at exploring the syntactic and semantic functions of demonstratives in English and Arabic and finding out whether the translators of the Glorious Quran are successful in rendering demonstratives into English. To achieve these aims the study hypothesizes that translating demonstrative successfully requires resorting to the reliable authentic exegeses and that literal translation is the most successful strategy in translating the Quran in general and demonstratives in particular.
