"Ellipsis" brevity is a popular style in natural language. The brief words have compactness Without any defect. A comprehensive review of short discourses in language introduces two types of "linguistic Ellipsis" and "non-linguistic Reduction" brevities. According to semantic studies, "Ellipsis" is the omission of words based on co-text, but "Reduction" is the omission based on the context (=context of the situation and the audience's background knowledge). Linguistic Ellipsis can be discovered by the syntactic and rhetorical styles of the language, but non-linguistic Reduction can be identified only by considering the non-linguistic context. However, there is no specific rule for most interpretations provided for omitted cases. The Holy Qur'an, which was revealed in natural language, has used the style of elimination and reduction as a suitable tool to transfer the messages in the shortest phrases. Therefore, studying and knowing this knowledge becomes essential in understanding and interpreting the Quran, and neglecting it will damage understanding the meanings of the verses. The present article, using the knowledge of "applied semantics" introduces and analyzes the phenomenon of "reduction" along with "ellipsis" to understand and interpret the Holy Quran and has shown that the interpretation of the brief verses of the Quran needs non-linguistic knowledge. Thus, Quarn understanding is only possible by considering both linguistic and non-linguistic knowledge of the verses. Therefore, this truth establishes the possibility of understanding and interpreting all the brief verses of the Quran for the real "Quran Scholars", that is, the Holy Prophet and his Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT).
