SEMANTIC DEVELOPMENT THROUGH METAPHOR SENT IN A BOOK MEANINGS OF THE QUR’AN AND ITS PARSING BY ALZAJJAJ )D. 311 AH(

Abstract

The concept of (evolution) in semantics is merely change, whatever it may be. Every change in the meanings of words or constructions is development, whether it is an increase in the meanings they denote, a decrease in them, or equality. The transmitted metaphor is called that; To release it from the restriction of resemblance, but that does not mean that it is a metaphor that is transmitted completely, rather there must be a certain connection or relationship between the original meaning of the word and the metaphorical meaning.

This (transfer) may take place intentionally for a literary purpose, as it is one of the elements that... It is used for brevity, or for no creative or literary reason, such as necessity, for example. Speakers may move a utterance from its familiar domain to another unfamiliar domain when they lack the need for expression.
