The Morphological Signification in the Commentaries on Tanqih al-Fusul lil-Qarafi (t. 684 h) wa Hulul al-Maliki (t. 898 h)

Abstract

    The research discusses a morphological semantic comparison between two well-known commentaries on the book "Tanqīḥ al-Fuṣūl fī ʿIlm al-Uṣūl" by al-ʿAllāmah al- Qarafi (D684H). The first commentary is by Abū al-ʿAbbās Shihāb al-din al-Qarafi himself, and the second commentary is by Abū al-ʿAbbās Hululu al-Maliki (D898H). The research is titled "The Morphological Semantics in the Commentaries on 'Tanqīḥ al-Fuṣūl' by al-Qarafi (D684H) and Hululu al-Maliki (D898H).

The research involves compiling and organizing some morphological issues discussed in both commentaries and is structured into an introduction, preface, two main sections, and a conclusion. In the preface, I provide biographical information about the two scholars who authored the commentaries and explain the concept of "semantics" in both linguistic and terminological terms according to early and later scholars, its relationship with linguistic levels, and the organization found in books focusing on semantics. The first main section defines morphological semantics in both the language and terminological sense, both historically and in contemporary usage. The second section is the practical aspect of morphological semantics and the meanings of the forms. The presentation of the terms involves mentioning al-Qarafi's view first, followed by specialists' opinions, and concluding with Shaykh Hululu al-Maliki's statements and his positions on these issues. The research methodology is descriptive-analytical, describing the morphological issues and how they are presented in the two commentaries, analyzing their origins, differences, and the reasons for these differences, and possibly evaluating and clarifying them to extract positions on the mentioned issues.
