Semantical Multiplicity of the Qur’anic Terms
Journal Title: Ankara Üniversitesi İlahiyat Fakültesi Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 59, Issue 1
Abstract
Every text is penned with an intention and semantical analysis is deciphering this intention. It attracts the addressee to uncover it and manifests itself in the forms of such acts as ‘promising’, ‘warning’, ‘reminding’, ‘informing’, ‘commanding’, ‘banning’, etc. But the author of the text does not just articulate all these but also wishes to create a realm of actions through these abstract words. So warning requires fear; and discussion requires conviction. Every word has an active counterpart in this process. In this case meaning is related to the text, and action is related to the reader. In other words we have one text but many manifestations of the text. These manifestations are activated through addressees in different contexts. The full interpretation/manifestation of the text is realized only with the full actualization of these contexts. And the semantic multiplicity of the text arises as the requirement of these conditions. Our presuppositions in terms of the Qur’an and its interpreter are as follow: 1-Any Qur’anic term creates a conception about God. For every discourse gives the clues about the author. 2-The term regards the addressee. This in the basis of the conception about the reader. 3-The term thirdly considers the outer reality which is the basis of objectivity. 4-And finally this term regards other Qur’anic terms which is the basis of internal compatibility and logic of the text
