أسباب الاحتمالات الإعرابية في تفسير البيضاوي: سورتي البقرة وآل عمران أنموذجا

Abstract

The plurality of syntactic possibilities is of what has been related about the broadness of meaning of Arabic language. This phenomenon is one of the features of Quranic texts, all of which full of many syntactic facets in various language structures where any Quranic verses are hardly to devoid of these syntactic possibilities. Understanding the meanings of these syntactic possibilities and their causes requires due consideration, reflection, and analysis. The research sought to address factors of syntactic possibilities and their effect on meaning, focusing onthe Holy Quran in light of the exegesis of al-Baiḍāwi. The research drew on a qualitative approach, and in particular, a complete induction of the study samples from the linguistic structures of al-Baqarahand Āli-‘Imrānthat entail the syntactic possibilities in the exegesis of al-Baiḍāwi. There were forty different samples of syntactic possibilities identified, inspiring the researchers to shift from linguistic theorizing to linguistic application. Nonetheless, the research only analysed fifteen samples and revealed that each syntactic facet has its own meaning that affects and is affected by the meaning. The research was able to bringto the fore several fundamental reasons which affect these syntactic possibilities as follows: plurality of variant readings of the Quran, absence of syntactic diacritics, grammatical and creedal disagreement, inclusion of more than one possible grammatical meaning within a single syntactic sign, and disagreement in scholars’ opinions on the concept or interpretation of a word. These reasons contributed to the abundance of those syntactic possibilities.
