Complimentary and Renovation of Linguistics in Analyzing the Quran Discourse: The Case of Surat Yusuf

Abstract

The research aims to present a new linguistic and epistemological framework in the analysis of discourse in general and Quranic discourse in particular. It depends on (the mark) in all its forms, its relationship, and harmony, to reach the meanings and objectives inherent in the texts. It is a perception based on the principle of epistemological integration between several sciences, foremost of which is linguistics (as the science of the linguistic sign par excellence), semiotics (as the science behind the sign and its symbolisms), and shari’ah sciences (as the disciplining and guiding sciences of objectives and rulings). Accordingly, all these sciences are levels/signs that integrate to construct the meaning and give evidence for it, for approaching the Qur’an more precise and consistent with the meanings and purposes that the Qur’an orient us to grasp. Thus, any analysis of the Qur’anic discourse, which does not start from this integrative vision, becomes a mere incomplete analysis that cannot get the depth of the verses and the surahs of the Qur’an.
