Course Learning Outcomes
| Order | Course Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|
| LO01 | Modern semantics methods have been used effectively in the processes of understanding and interpreting texts, and the possibility of applying them to divine texts will be acquired. |
| LO02 | To be able to analyze in a more qualified way the discussions on the application of semantic methods to human texts and the discussions on their use for non-human texts. |
| LO03 | The relationship between man and language and thought are two remarkable elements in terms of the human intellectual process. In this respect, the ability to make a qualified analysis of the language and thought dimensions of divine texts is acquired. |
| LO04 | Since man is a historical being, he is limited by time and space. The change of the concepts of language, which is a human product, in historical processes is a fact. Therefore, if the passage of time will also change the concepts, it will be possible to solve the problem of how the relationship between man and the text in a period can be reconciled. |
