The semantic and functional relationship between two meanings in the Holy Quran

Abstract

This research addresses the concept of semantic and functional interrelation in the Qur’anic text as a linguistic and rhetorical phenomenon that reflects the depth of the interrelation and connection between the words of the Holy Qur’an and their meanings. The research goes beyond the traditional view of purely verbal relations to reach a network of intertwined relations that make the two words or meanings a single entity, one of which clarifies and explains the other. The research shows that the Qur’anic word does not move in isolation from its linguistic context, but rather it is intertwined in a precise linguistic system. The research aims to reveal the secrets of the Qur’anic system in light of the concept of interrelation between two meanings, which represents a vital interaction between the signifier and the signified. The nature of the research required dividing it into a preface and two sections, preceded by an introduction and followed by a conclusion with the research results, and then a list of research sources and references. In the preface, I dealt with defining the main research terms. As for the first section, I dealt with the interrelation in the issues of the science of meanings, and the second section was devoted to the interrelation in the figurative images.
