The item (plow) between the lexical semantics and Contextual Connotations in the Holy Qur'ran

Abstract

The objective of this  study of the linguistic context is to reveal the value of the word and its significance within  the systems. The meaning of the word is not restricted to  its lexical context , as it  is fixed and firm in the dictionaries, but the contextual significance is changed according to the text  which displays the word. Therefore, this study depends  on the  search of the meaning of the words within the context in which they  appear, and does not depend on the lexical meaning of it, as  the word does not give an absolute connotation itself , even if it bears multiple lexical significance ,  what determines its significance precisely here is being displayed in a text , in a way that a specific meaning  is perceived  which  may not be mixed  with another meaning  this word may refer.  Linguists distinguish between the two meanings, while they attribute to  the lexical meaning  the name of the basic  or figurative meaning, which explains what the lexical word gives  from its  meanings when it is singular,   on the other hand they give the name of the additional or secondary meaning to the contextual meaning, it represents here  an excessive  meaning to the basic one  and is being  defined according to  the context. Contextual significance is considered as the most  significant  modern theories in semantics, as it has been of great point of  interest to ancient scholars, such as interpreters, linguists, rhetoric, critics and others, and it  reached with them  the summit  which is  the basic building block of modern contextual theory.  Our scholars had defined the changing meanings of words within a context, and also explained the methods of authoring speech, systems and structures.  Terms similar to the  context term were scattered in their books, such as systems, structure, layout, article, formulation, and context.
