Abstract

Quranic linguistics is one of the new issues in the Quranic sciences, being
considered as one of the most important branches among the methods of
understanding Quran. Semantics, one of the branches of Linguistics, is
concerned with the study of the key words of Quran. By key words, we mean
those words which can play an important part in making evident the different
meanings of the Quranic verses, if their meaning is studied in a survey. In this
article, focusing on polysemy in Semantics, we have pondered over Mulla
Sadra's view on this issue and examined his commentary on some of the
Quranic verses, as an example. Analyzing Quranic key words in a polysemous
method will open new scopes to the scholars of Quranic sciences and
commentary and in considered a new method for the subject-concerning
interpretation of Quran in order to reveal its miraculous aspects, literally and
semantically.
