Abstract

Scholar Taher Ibn Ashour is considered as one of the most profound

and well- written scholars of his time in studying language connotations.

He showed keen interest in his exegesis in the language and in the Quranic

vocabulary from connotative and denotative perspectives. After the revelation

of the Holy Quran, language has developed, evolved and changed. This

research is an attempt to trace this phenomenon, which came to be known

among linguists as the Phenomenon of Semantic Evolution of the Quranic

Terminology, through the study of Ibn Ashour’s Al Tahreer and Al Tanweer

Exegesis. This paper highlights three aspects:

The evolution of language from denotations to scholastic connotation.

The restricted meanings of words that Arabs used and evolved to broader

and more comprehensive meanings.

The changes of connotative meanings of words.
