Abstract

One of the efficient methods in semantic studies is “ componential analysis” , in which the words are analyzed into semantic units and constituent components with the aim of achieving an accurate and thorough concept so as to unveil the meanings hidden in layers of each word; this would ultimately lead to presenting a perfect and clear translation of the text. With a descriptive-analytical method and with reliance on componential analysis and vocabulary analysis into smaller semantic units in some Qur’ anic vocabulary, the present research tries to unveil the meanings hidden within the words through analyzing them into their semantic components and units, to critical review their reflection in contemporary translations, and to analyze the translations’ strengths and weaknesses in this respect. A semantic study of such words and phrases as “ yuqā ttilū n, wā ‘ adna, ā nastu, tabba, natlū hā , lā taḥ ṣ ū hā , and aqtaraba” indicates that inaccurate attention of the translators of the Holy Qur’ an to the vocabulary units and their constituent components would definitely affect the concept intended by the narrator and would cause misunderstanding the real intention of the Holy Qur’ an. As a result, this heedlessness has led to presenting an incomplete and vague rendering of the Qur’ anic words in some translations, which have not been adequately consistent with the overall concept of the verse and the context of the Qur’ anic statements and is merely viewed as expressing primary and superficial meaning of the Qur’ anic words. However, some translators have presented a relatively successful and acceptable translation with reference to some of the semantic components of words.
