Abstract:

Qur'anic Semantics
Corpus and Lexical Behavior

Hussein Abdul-Raof
Taibah University, Saudi Arabia

Qur'anic semantics is concerned with: (i) lexical occurrence, (ii)
lexical behavior, (iii) word order, (iv) discourse semantics where the
purposeful selection of a specific word is interrelated to discourse
discursive semantics, (v) lexis meaning which is motivated by
discourse ideology, Ideological connotative meanings, and (vi) the
semantic analysis of the text mood and diction.  Qur’anic semantics
shows the reader: (i) the number of times a word occurs in the whole
text, (ii) how the meaning of the word changes according to the
context in which it occurs, and (iii) why a given grammatical
structure occurs rather than a different one.
Qur’anic semantics examines the semantic aspects which have impact on
meaning on the word and sentence levels. These aspects are: (i)
content words (verbs, nouns, nominalized nouns, active/passive
participle nouns, adjectives), (ii) function words such as the
additive conjunctions such as (thumma – and) and (wa – and), (iii)
tense (present, past, future), (iv) marked (unusual) / unmarked
(usual) word order, and (v) no-main-verb nominal or main-verb
sentences.
Qur’anic semantics is of value to Qur'anic corpus linguistics,
lexicographers, Qur'anic linguistics, and translation studies.
