"Al Lisan Citations epitomized by the Entries of the Letter (M)" A Syntactic and Semantic Study in light of the Modern Lesson

Abstract

This research is aimed at identifying the phenomenon of the linguistic argument and the nature of citations in Lisan Al Arab (The Tongue of Arabs). It further examines them in light of the modern semantic lesson, the semantic fields and their branches. Accordingly, the researcher matches the vocabulary citations to their domains and branches, and this study reveals semantic categories falling together to reflect the image of the Arab life. The dissertation is divided into an Abstract, Introduction, Preamble, Two Chapters and a Conclusion, including the results and recommendations followed by the list of sources and references. The preamble gives defining insights into the linguistic evidence generally and technically; evidence motives, evidence conditions, its temporal and spatial limits, and its sources.
