Using the Holy Qur'an in the Lexicon: A Study in the Light of Intertextuality Theory

Abstract

This is why the use of Quranic intertextuality went into three approaches: quote intertextuality, referral intertextuality, and suggestive intertextuality. Each approach had characteristics that distinguish it from others. For example, the quote intertextuality differs from others like of the quote intertextuality differs from referral intertextuality and suggestive intertextuality ones, because it is located in lexical entries with limited connotation. As for referral intertextuality, it is located in the lexical entries with an open connotation that work to invoke Quranic verses in more than one location, as in the case with suggestive intertextuality.
