Semantic Implication in the Section of Prepositions and the Intentionality of the Quranic Discourse in Tafsir Al-Tahrir wa Al-Tanwir

The study aimed to examine the semantic implication in Tafsir Al-Tahrir wa Al-Tanwir for Ibn Ashour in the section of prepositions, and to clarify the pragmatic meaning associated with the places of implication that referred to in the Holy Quran in the section of prepositions. The lexical meaning may only be given the literal meaning as the critics call it, or the meaning of the text apparent meaning as the fundamentalists call it; most of the linguistic studies have tended to limit the concept of inclusion to the grammatical side in many cases as a grammatical reason that comes out of what seemed to contradict the current linguistic usage for the Arabs. However, we find that this pragmatic concept (implication) is closely related to the intentionality of discourse. The study was limited to dealing with it in Tafsir Al-Tahrir wa Al-Tanwir for Ibn Ashour - in the section of prepositions - to see that he relied on this idea in a way that excels other commentators or lexicographers as well. The study tried to limit the most prominent semantic issues that Ibn Ashour related to the concept of implication and the extent of its relationship to the intentionality of the Quranic discourse.
