eg     This study sheds light on the conjunction particle waw and focuses on the Arabic grammarians' point of view on its meaning of order.

Although this study attempts to reconcile these points of view depending on the speech analysis approach, which focuses on the speakers' intended meaning based on specific linguistic and contextual elements, it aims at proving the inevitability of meaning of order of the waw.

This aim is achieved through a number of qur'anic examples in which the order may seem illogical, but the deep analysis shows that they are mentally rather than structurally ordered.

The results of the study have shown that the conjunction waw denotes order in the language of the Holy Qur'an.

That is, each word occurs in its specific position to give a meaning, and this meaning can be inferred by scholars and specialists from the position of the word within the sentences and structures.

The study concludes that the semantic analysis of the order change in the language of the Qur'an is very significant, not only in the case of conjunction, but also in all structural aspects that may involve any kind of order change like the multiplicity of predicates, adjectives or adverbs.
