Kurtubî’nin Morfolojik Temelli Anlam Arayışı

Morphology, “sarf” as an Arabic term, is the science of generating another structure in a new or the same form with affixes and affixes that are suitable for the root, context of meaning, and targeted expression, and examining the formed structures. Since the Qurʾān is a book sent in Arabic for understanding, it is also within the scope of the study of Arabic linguistics and morphology. Exegetes and linguistics scholars mention morphology issues in their studies to understand and explain the Qurʾān. For this purpose, Abū Abdallah Muhammad b. Ahmad al-Qurtubī (d. 671/1273) wrote the interpretation " al-Jamī' li-'Aḥkām al-Qurʾān". One of the general features of the tafsīr is that there are primarily philological explanations when explaining almost every ayah. Like other commentators, he also includes morphology in his tafsīr to understand/explain the Qurʾān. While making morphological analyzes of the words, he states their features. In addition, it sometimes explains some details and exceptional situations. He tries to explain the morphological characteristics and the meanings of the words. The remarkable point is that the exegete also uses the rules of morphology to reach or explain the meanings, even though those rules can not give the meaning within a superficial level. Qurtubī's effort is based on the characteristics of the wording, the differences in the recitation, the context, excessiveness (zaeed), reduction, etc., shown by reasons. This study is based on his evaluations of some subjects of morphology by scanning the information he gave to understand. Considering that the study is a presentation and has a time limitation, topics are limited to singular-dual-plural, masculinity-femininity, and definite-indefinite. Interpretations were scanned about the mentioned issues. By choosing some examples, the subject was explained, and comparisons were made with the evaluation. The samples were examined in depth, and the matter was conveyed on a meaning-oriented base. * This study was produced from the Ph.D. dissertation: Philological analysis of Al-Jamī li Ahkam al-Qurʾān (İzmir: Dokuz Eylul University, Ph.D. Thesis, 2020)
