The analysis of the meanings of the preposition “الباء” and its translation in Surah Al-Imran identifies two basic principles related to the types of languages: First, we translate but we do not fully comprehend the source and target languages (the communicative original); second, languages collide in the translation process (linguistic origin), and the third principle (which is the different translations) should be added to the two principles of communicative and linguistic. For example, The Persian language provides 26 meanings in the Preposition “به” Against the 16 meanings of the Preposition “الباء” -no self-sacrifice- (and in this research, eight new meanings were added to those 16 meanings). Therefore, it is imperative that the translators of the Quran (including the translators mentioned in this study, Ayati, Safavi, Mojtabavi and Makarem) understand Persian and Arabic; undoubtedly, knowing the mother tongue means knowing the potential of other languages. The results showed that the meanings of the prepositions of Surah Al-Imran have a significant effect on the quality of translation from native language to native language and from native language to foreign languages, because these prepositions create different meanings in the Quran context, and they are an influential factor in different translations. This point and the difference between linguistic and non-linguistic knowledge of translators has caused translations of the Quran to be presented in different qualities. The research method is descriptive analytical and statistical analytical. This research is necessary because the meanings of the prepositions have a significant effect on the quality of translations.

Saussure, the founder of the new linguistics, opened a new chapter in the contemplation of language and influenced the different intellectual and linguistic currents of the 20th century. Gadamer, on the other hand, is the most important figure of philosophical hermeneutics who, by putting language at the center of it, has come up with a new scheme of understanding the event. Since these two thinkers have analyzed and discussed common themes around language In this research, we aim to design and compare Saussure and Gadamer's linguistic views on topics such as: The nature of language, the sign of language, the instrumentality or non-existence of language, human society (tradition) and language, Lange and Parol, definition and status of symbols,, speech and writing, diachrony or . or synchrony studies of language, etc. Illustrate the similarities and differences of their views and open new horizons in linguistic contemplation with linguistic and philosophical perspectives

The present study investigated the relationship between native speakers’ attitude towards their language and the level of their language endangerment based on UNESCO’s operational document of living and endangered languages (2003). The data were collected using a researcher-made attitude form from 10 villages in three provinces in Iran, namely Tehran, Alborz, and Hormozgan. The results were analyzed through the SPSS statistical software. The findings of the study indicated a positive significant correlation between two variables of native speakers’ attitude and the level of language endangerment. In other words, when the native speakers’ attitude is positive, their language and social identity have safer condition, and when the native speakers’ attitude is negative, it is predicated that language is in serious danger. The present study suggests that to preserve a language, upgrading the native speakers’ attitudes is one of the main solutions.
