Meaning And Its Impact On Grammatical Analysis In Al-Sharh Al-Mu‘Asir Li Kitab Sibawayh By Hadi Nahr/ المعنى وأثره في التحليل النحوي في كتاب الشرح المعاصر لكتاب سيبويه للدكتور هادي نهر
Abstract
This study highlights meaning and its impact on the grammatical analysis of linguistic structures, whether through inflectional analysis, considering the cases and inflectional markers or the functional meanings conveyed by the linguistic element within the structure, or through the linear relationships—vertical and horizontal—between the components of the linguistic structure. These relationships include the substitution, rearrangement, and omission of components, as well as conjunction and disjunction, among other interactions that reflect horizontal and vertical manipulation within the structure.
This study seeks to reveal the importance of meaning and the semantic aspect in grammatical analysis, and we have chosen the book "The Contemporary Commentary on Sibawayh's Book" for this purpose. Because it is one of the books that deals with heritage according to modern linguistic studies, in addition to the fact that the commentator gave great attention to meaning in his analyses of grammatical structures, meaning formed the main axis in many of his analyses of grammatical structures, and we have shown here the effect of meaning for this through its multiple uses, which include the meaning of words, whether through what the word conveys of functional meanings through contextual relations or what it conveys of meanings through conventional arbitrary relations, which are represented in the lexical meaning, as well as looking at the context with which the denotation and the intended meaning of the linguistic structure are completed. Therefore, this study was divided according to the uses of meaning in the analysis of structures into three requirements, as the first requirement included the functional meaning, which deals with the particles that make up the linguistic context - whether they are phonetic, morphological or grammatical - and their semantic effect in the grammatical analysis, and in the second requirement we deal with the lexical meaning and its effect in the analysis of structures grammatically, and in the third requirement we deal with the semantic meaning, which includes the textual meaning - functional and lexical - as well as the context in which the context was said.
