The significance between the necessity of the text and the possibility of interpretation: A linguistic approach to the mechanisms of reading and the culture of the read in the Arab heritage

Abstract

According to the first Arab Scholars the readable text tends towards a conceptual field whose meaning can be zxplicit or implicit. This urged the reader to create specific mechanisms to use the legible in order to achieve its essence either by dwelling on its textual meaning or by neglecting it resorting to something else.

The intelligibility /ambiguity couple is an essential component in the interpretative and explanatory procecess . The intelligibility field concerns the meanings whose comprehension is reached by their own significations throughout three basic concepts : "the text", "the visible", and "the precise". The ambiguity field on its about three other fundamental concepts: " the interpreted", "the concise" , and "the similar". It becomes clear that by adjusting all these elements, the signification is realised through two ways: "the signifier" and "the signified".
