The Linguistic Parameters for Derivation of Meaning for the Qur‘ānic Words
Abstract
One word expresses one meaning and at times multiple meanings too. This rule exists in the Arabic language and other languages as well. Selection of any specific meaning for a word in Arabic language is called “Semantics”. Usually, a meaning is related to Derivative origin, Linguistic use, Contextual use, Islamic Legal term or the Qur‘ānic term. One word does not always have multiple meanings all the time. Qur‘ānic words generally relate either the literal meanings like Names of Allah and His Attributes or other than literal meanings such as; (رزق,رحمة,خزان (and likewise. However, meaning of a word can also be observed by the supportive phrases and the same is the topic of this research paper. In order to observe a particular meaning of a certain word, there are many supportive phrases (شواهد و قرائن (such as contextually sequence, grammatically usage, synonyms, antonyms, deviation from the apparent and the predominant concept of Qur’anic words and sentences. All these six aspects must be observed to obtain any meaning of an Arabic word.
