Abstract Istifham sentence is not always a question sentence that requires an answer. On the contrary, interogative sentence can function as a command sentence, news sentence and prohibition sentence. In balagah science, this kind of question sentence is classified as a majazi istifham sentence. It is a polemic in the academic world when balagah science cannot axplain the change of sentence function more clearly, only providing a theory when there are interogative sentence particles, such as the word Auhamzah . A A. Aor Auhal . A A. NEAin Therefore, this paper wants to explore in more detel the causes of the change of function of istifham setences using PeirceAos semiotic method. Where the concept of PeirceAos semiotics is a process of interpretation derived from the semiotic process of objects and representations which will produce interpretants. With the concept of PeirceAos semiotics, this paper focuses on exploring the interpretant of the istifham sentence in QS. At-Tin Vwersw 8. By using literature study and descriptive-analysis, the results of this research show that QS. At-Tin verse 8 as an example of an istifham sentence when studied with PeirceAos semiotic theory will find three interpretations. First, the istifham sentence in the verse is included in a potential question sentence that is still waiting for confirmation of the possibilities that exist. Second, the istifham sentence is included in the majazi istifham which gives the meaning of the statement and itAos factual nature, itAos factuality has been recognized in the science of balagah, and Third, as an affirmation that the fairest judge and justice is found from Allah Swt, where this is conventional which is found from the semiotic process of objects and representations of the previous verses.

Namun sebaliknya, kalimat tanya bisa beralih fungsi menjadi kalimat perintah, kalimat berita dan kalimat larangan. Dalam ilmu balagah, kalimat tanya seperti ini masuk dalam klasifikasi kalimat istifham majazi.

Di mana konsep semiotika Peirce merupakan proses penafsiran yang berasal dari proses semiosis obyek dan representament yang nantinya akan menghasilkan Dengan konsep semiotika Peirce, tulisan ini fokus untuk menggali interpretant dari kalimat istifham pada QS. At-Tin ayat 8. Dengan menggunakan studi kepustakaan, dan analisis-deskriptif hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan. QS. At-Tin ayat 8 sebagai salah satu contoh kalimat istifham bila dikaji dengan teori semiotika Peirce akan mendapati tiga interpretasi, pertama, kalimat istifham pada ayat tersebut termasuk dalam kalimat tanya konfirmasi yang sifatnya potensial yang masih menunggu konfirmasi dari kemungkinan-kemungkinan yang ada. Kedua, kalimat istifham termasuk dalam istifham majazi yang memberikan makna pernyataan dan sifatnya faktual, kefaktualannya sudah diakui dalam ilmu balaghah, dan Ketiga, sebagai penegasan bahwa hakim dan keadilan yang paling adil didapati dari Allah Swt, di mana hal ini bersifat konvensional yang didapati dari proses semiosis obyek dan representament ayat-ayat sebelumnya.

The istifham sentence or interrogative Apart from all that, in the study of QurAoanic interpretation, the book that has the highest literary value presents sentence has several concepts of use, how much, how, when, why, or whose reinterpretation or more depth. One (Moeliono et al. , 2017, p. In example is the istifham sentence wich is normally used to ask questions, but interrogative sentence is to obtain in the QurAoan it has another function information, so it is not surprising that the interrogative sentence basically This phenomenon needs to be studied with requires an aswer.

Therefore, a supporting answer, and partial questions, which theory is needed to explain the process are questions that require answers Author: Zainul Ashri QurAoan, so that with PeirceAos semiotic meaning, one of wich is semiotic understood as the word salamah, as a LITERATURE REVIEW The heaven and so on depending on the representament that surrounds the discussion, but has been studied in object of the word salam, therefore the many previous studies, as well as the semiotic study of Charles Sanders word of praise, as another name for sentences in this paper is not a new Peirce.
