Kurtubî’nin Morfolojik Temelli Anlam Arayışı
Qurṭubī’s Morphological-Based Interpretation

Summary/Abstract: As an Arabic term sarf, morphology; is the science of creating a new or similar structure from the main form in terms of meaning and with appropriate transformations or additions to what is meant to be expressed and examining the words formed in this way. The Qur'ān, revealed in Arabic to being understood, also becomes the subject of Arabic linguistics and sarf. While interpreting the Qur'an, commentators, and linguists have also benefited greatly from the science of morphology. Abū Abdallāh Muḥammad b. Aḥmad al-Qurṭubī (d. 671/1273) used morphology to understand and explain in al-Jamī' li-'Aḥkām al-Qur'ān. One of the most distinctive features of his tafsir is that philological explanations, including morphology, are included in the explanation of the ayah. Qurṭubī made a structural analysis of the words in the verse and gave morphological information about them, and he dealt with the details and exceptions in terms of form. Considering the morphological situations of words, he tried to make the meanings of words understandable. However, another issue that should be emphasized during the research is that Qurṭubī reaching meanings that cannot occur with these rules by moving from the rules of morphology. It is noteworthy that Qurṭubī made these applications in cases such as the characteristics of the wording, the differences in reading, the context in which the word is found, za’id (excess), hazf (reduction), etc. The study has been limited by reviewing the information Qurṭubī gave in the process of understanding and explaining the ayahs and based on his comments on singular-dual-plural, masculine-femininity, and certainty-uncertainty, which are among the subjects of morphology. In these three subjects, research has been done in tafsīr, the subject has been studied through examples related to the subjects, and explanations, evaluations, and assumptions have been made about the subject. In this study, the samples were examined in detail by considering them from different angles, and the subject was conveyed in a way that focused on the meaning.
