ظاهرة تعدد المعنى للفظ الواحد (البوليزمي)‎ في القرآن الكريم : دراسة في ضوء نظرية التحليل التكويني

Abstract EN

This research studies and analyzes polysemy in the Holy Quran in the light of Formative Analysis Theory.

It highlights the abundance of models of this phenomenon as it exists in the Holy Quran.

It shows how these models contribute to the semantic enrichment expressing the purposes of the Holy Quran through words that have multiple and varied meanings.

It also shows how the same word may sometimes have opposite meanings; some of the words can express noble connotations as well as their opposites.

All this is done through the diversity of grammatical, syntactic, semantic determinants and semantic features which represent the bases of the good Formative Analysis Theory in distinguishing between multiple meanings of one word.

In fact, the multiplicity of meanings for one word is the result of the diversity of such determinants.

These grammatical and syntactic determinants can be presented in the following: nouns and verbs, negative and affirmative, singular and plural forms, masculine and feminine, simple and complex (with description, addition, and coordination functions…), root and derivation, definite and indefinite, and concrete, transitive and intransitive, the diversity of subjects, pronouns and objects, and the diversity of rhymes…etc.

Also, the semantic determinants can be presented in the following: the diversity of verbs and nouns with their grammatical, syntactic, hierarchical, and concrete variety as well as the diversity of semantic fields that they belong to like the sacred term of Majesty, prophets, human beings, animals, objects, plants as well as all the fields and their respective sub-fields…etc.

In fact, there is a big difference between objects, subjects and pronouns in words like the sacred term of Majesty, prophet, human being whether it is masculine or feminine, believer, disbeliever, disobedient, animal, object, plant or …etc.

This is added to the diversity of verbs and the various styles in which they occur.

Semantic features are also crucial in distinguishing multiple meanings of one word like constraints and attachments, and they usually become crucial and determining factors.

For this reason, Olmen defined Plolysemy as “the multiplicity of the meaning of a single word in linguistic contexts or situations, of great success, importance and usefulness.

”
This research used not only the Formative Analysis Theory to study and analyze Polysemy, but also the Descriptive Approach, the Context Theory as well as the Semantic Fields Theory.
