The Effect of Context Connotation on the Grammatical Structures of Abdul-Qaher Al-Jurjānī and Al-Zamakhsharī: Deletion and Mention as an Example

Abstract

The following research has been divided into an introduction, a preface, three sections, and a conclusion. It showed the effect of the context connotation on constructing systems theory according to Al-Jurjānī, and the interpretation of the verses of the Holy Quran according to Al-Zamakhsharī. The research also clarified the effect of the context connotation in abandoning the original structure of the Arabic sentence by deleting or mentioning it according to both Al-Jurjānī and Al-Zamakhsharī. The research reached some important results like: Al-Jurjānī was aware of the advantages of deletion, and he had adapted grammar to serve rhetoric. He also stopped at the places of deletion, and discovered that the beauty and advantage of the phrase lies in the deletion, not in the mention. Al-Zamakhsharī paid great attention to the context when exposed to the Quranic vocabulary and its relevance to the context, and the importance of this context was that it helped grammarians to develop new partial or subsidiary rules. Al-Jurjānī and Al-Zamakhsharī observed that through the interaction of grammar and rhetoric together, the functionality of language as a tool for communication between people is achieved, and thanks to this interaction, as it makes the linguistic message accurate.
