Mâtürîdî mecâz mecâz-ı mürsel alâka belâgat tefsir al-Maturidi metaphor metonymy relations eloquence tafsir
The Holy Qur'an, which is a miracle both in words and in meaning, has enabled the emergence of linguistic sciences. One of these linguistic sciences is eloquence. In the birth and development of the science of eloquence, interpreters and kalam scholars, especially language scholars, have played an important role. In his exegesis (tafsir) called Taʾwilat al-Qurʾan, Abu Mansur al-Maturidi, a scholar of kalam, tafsir and fiqh (d. 333/944), has touched upon many issues related to al-ma’ani, al-bayan and al-badi’ that are the parts of the science of eloquence and became clear as terms about three centuries after him, as well as the sciences of morphology (sarf), nahw and lexicology. One of these topics is metonymy and its relations. Our article consists of three parts. In the first part, the meaning of metonymy in the dictionary and its meaning as a term are discussed. In the second part, the development process of the metonymy is discussed. In the third part, metonymy and its relations in al-Maturidi’s exegesis are discussed. Here, the definitions of cuz’iyyat (mentioning the part and referring to the whole), kulliyyat (mentioning the whole and referring to the part), sebebiyyat (mentioning the cause and referring to the result), musebbebiyyat (mentioning the result and referring to the cause), itibâr-ı mâ kâne (considering something in its past form), itibâr-ı mâ seyekûnü (considering something in its future form), mahalliyyah (mentioning a place and referring to what is in it), hâlliyyah (mentioning something and referring to its place), âliyyah (mentioning the instrument of something and referring to what is done with it), umûm-husûs (one of the literal and figurative meanings of the word is more common than the other), which are the main topics of metonymy’s relations, are given first and then sample verses from the tafsir of al-Maturidi are presented.
