Abstract :

Due to the necessity of understanding the meaning in the analysis of phrases and in order to correctly understand the words of the speaker, paying attention to the context is one of the most essential topics in semantics; Therefore, linguists in semantic studies pay attention to context from two perspectives. The first group believes that the meaning of a sentence can be determined separately from any context, and the second group, like Firth, believes in the theory of situational context. He believes that all the constituent elements of speech, including the personality of the speaker and the listener and the social environment, etc. should be examined in order to reach a correct understanding of the phrase. For this purpose, the present article tries to investigate the role of texture in the use of prepositions and its importance in creating meaning in some similar verses by using descriptive-analytical method and with the help of Firth theory. It was concluded that similar verses, in which only the preposition is different, have played a different meaning, which is influenced by the context and texture of the verses. For example, the letters (Ali) and (Eli) are in two separate contexts with different meanings but in two similar verses. Also, the letters (Ba) and (Lam) are the same.
