Abstract

In the research related to religious texts, the semantic approach is of special importance. Among the schools of linguistics, the London school pays great attention to the category of meaning and considers the causes of meaning change based on the situational context and revealing the hidden angles of the text. This research tries to introduce Firth's (the founder of the London School) opinions about the combination of texture with the discourse of the text to reach the meaning with a descriptive-analytical method, and by matching it with Surah Yusuf, it reflects its histological approach to reach the meaning. Among the results of this research is that by using semantic connections in text combinations, i.e., phonetic, morphological strains, and other signifiers that are visible in the intra-linguistic context of the text of Surah Yusuf, it is possible to determine the role of the situation as an extra-linguistic context in the process of meaning formation based on the situation of the speaker and audience and the conversations of the main and secondary actors of this surah in the social environment. From this passage, it should be said that the social environment and situational context determine the appropriate semantic discourse in the text of this surah.
