Abstract

Quraanic texts move to interact between each other according to some different horizons. Different levels of meaning generate accordingly. These levels differ in their deepness. One of these horizons includes reference (whether cataphoric or anaphoric). This can be described as a reflection of the power of the linguistic cohesion on the condition that such a reference transfers the speaker to texts away from the current context. Some meanings generate from such shift. These meanings could be superficial or deep. Accordingly, some deep levels of meaning can be generated.
