Semantic Analysis of Qataʼa in Holy Quran Among Linguistics and Interpreters

Abstract

     The paper has shown the semantic indication of (qataʼa) in part of the language’s dictionaries where (qataʼa) has different forms; hence the single had a variety of meanings. The paper has also shown that (qataʼa) has two indications; one is true, and the other is metaphorical.  We noitice in the indication of (qataʼa) the two forms of Faʼal) and (Tafaʼal) in the past and present tense, for instance, the form of (Faʼal) states an overdoing and multiplication, and the form of (Tafaʼal) indicates submission. We notice in pronunciation of (qataʼa) and (qataʼan cut hard) a broken plural.
