Kontribusi Semiotika dalam Memahami Bahasa al-Qur’an
Abstract: The texts of the
Qur’ân may be understood as a collection of symbols, and cannot be interpreted
in isolation from the context as their background. If semiotics is a science of
symbols, then the texts of the Qur’ân must be the fertile object for the study
of semiotics. In the science of semiotics, texts are deemed to have no end in
themselves, meaning that we must not acknowledge them as having ended or being
finalized at some point. Some philosophers such as Jacques Derrida have
underscored this, and maintained that language is a metaphor. A meaning that we
assume resulted from our use of language is in fact the product of the
metaphorical exchange. Hence, a meaning will change as soon as the subject of
the metaphorical exchange changes. Meaning in other words is both dynamic and
relational because it is based on an endless source.
