The Effect of the Addressee on the Text's Connotation in Abi Hayan Al-Andalusi's Tafseer ul-Bahr il-Muheet

Abstract

The Addressee is considered the main part in the process of communication because the aim of speech is conveying a message to the addressee who decodes and analyses the message and who is the main goal which the speakers endeavor to achieve. As there is no text without a speaker, similarly, there is no text analysis and understanding without an addressee. Whatever nomination is given to the addressee, such as the receiver, the listener, or the hearer, all have only one meaning that indicates the part who receives the message and decodes it.
