Abstract
Karbala stands as one of the most prominent historical milestones that deeply engraved its meanings in the Islamic consciousness and the human conscience. Imam al-Hussein (peace be upon him) played a pioneering role in consolidating faith-based and principled values through his sermons and words. The significance of these sermons lies in their combination of elevated eloquence and precise syntactic structure, which renders them a fertile subject for linguistic inquiry, especially at the intersection of syntax and pragmatic context. The importance of this study resides in examining the syntactic constructions employed in Imam al-Hussein’s (peace be upon him) sermons and analyzing them from the perspective of the relationship between structure, intentionality, and context, given that many syntactic deviations can be explained by semantic or intentional motivations imposed by different communicative situations. From this standpoint, the present research, entitled “The Intentionality of Syntactic Structure in Imam al-Hussein’s Sermons in Karbala: An Analytical Semantic Study in Light of Context”, aims to combine traditional syntactic analysis with modern pragmatic approaches. It should be noted that the study is based on selective samples and does not intend to provide an exhaustive survey of all the sermons. The research is divided into two main sections: the first addresses the theoretical framework of syntactic structure and the function of context, while the second provides the applied dimension, which includes a syntactic and semantic analysis of Imam al-Hussein ’s (peace be upon him) sermons on the Day of ʿĀshūrāʾ as a representative model of the sermons delivered during the Battle of al-Ṭaff.
