Semantic Analysis of the Word Sawwal in the Qur’an with Emphasis on the Semantic Fields of Companionship and Succession

Examining the meaning of the words in the Qur an plays a significant and special role in understanding the purpose of God and the precise application of divine commands. Semantics of the Qur an is a methodical interpretation of the subject that, if based on the principles of the Qur an, is able to present the meaning of words to mankind in the form of a divine worldview and explain it. Also the theory of semantic domain is very helpful in studying the semantic structure of words of any language and explaining the semantic limits of its lexical elements, because every word adopts a part of its meaning from other words of the same domain. The word Sawwal is one of the words that are used 4 times in the Quran. Examining words that have a low frequency in Quranic use will be able to be accurately understood only through semantic methods. One of these methods is constructive semantics, which will help to solve the problem of semantic analysis through the examination of lexical co-occurrence and substitution. Study the verses through constructivist semantics has made a great contribution to understand the divine meaning and purpose of the use of words, and it has been considered as an effective method in religious research. Examining the companionship and succession of the intended words in the Qur an reveals the semantic areas related to the words and specifies the way of communication with each of the areas.
