Abstract

This research deals with the echoes of reception theory in the Quranic interpretation of  Al-alusi. The reader of the interpretation of Al-alusi with its linguistic and rhetorical concerns, notices his interest in many of the issues related to reception. For example he portrays us the position of the reader towards the text and its interaction with the reader to produce a productive reading.  al-Alusi also indicates some patterns of the effect of the text on the recipient (the reader) and the role of linguistic phenomena and rhetorical in this.
 The researcher started with books of linguistics concerned with these issues and then followed the issue in the interpretation of Al-alusi to know the features of these issues in the interpretation. This research has been divided into two sections, the part dealing with the text and the one dealing with the receiver (reader).
This research concludes with many results, including:
* al-Alusi cautions in the interpretation of the Quran  to the role of linguistic and rhetorical phenomena in influencing and convincing the reader.
* al-Alusi mentioned  multiplicity of conditions between the recipients and the effect of a single text on different audiences.
* al-Alusi indicated  in his interpretation how the reader interacts with the received text and how its potential allows linguistic interaction. As in that the text raises a question then answers this question itself for the reader.
* al-Alusi indicated in many places how text adjusts the form in which it was received.
