Delve into semantic analysis of Holy Quran [Review of the book An Introduction to the theory of Asbab and Abvab, by Ali Ebrahimi

Abstract

This paper is a review of a book titled in Persian language as مقدمه ای بر طرح نظریه اسباب و ابواب السماوات: ابواب و اسباب شناسی which the English title is: An Introduction to the theory of Asbab and Abvab. It was written by Ali Ebrahimi in 2021 and published in I.R. Iran by Simorgh Aseman Azargan publication in Karaj. This inquiry addresses the meaning of two words in Holy Quran by using semantic field method (weltanschauung). This method refers to two approaches for the study of semantic analysis. The diachronic approach hints at historical aspects of the meaning by using terminology and delving into the origins of the words. Yet the synchronic approach indicates an autonomous approach from historical view toward the definition of the term in hand. In synchronic approach, the time element in the research is eliminated and the terminology of the term is out of the equation.
