TERMS AND LEXICAL UNITS IN ARABIC: SEMANTIC DIFFERENCES, COMMON ASPECTS, AND A CLASSIFICATION FRAMEWORK
Abstract
This study, grounded in Arabic’s triconsonantal root morphology and historical lexicographic traditions, thoroughly examines the conceptual, semantic, and functional differences and intersections between terms (تُ حاَ ُم ْص َطلَ ْ ال, almuṣṭalaḥāt) and lexical units (ُةَّويِ غَ ُّ و َحدَا ُت الل ْ ال, al-waḥadāt al-lughawiyya) within Arabic philology. It addresses a major gap in contemporary Arabic linguistics: although extensive research exists on term-formation methods, systematic comparative analyses of terms’ monosemy and institutional standardization versus the polysemy and contextual flexibility of lexical units remain insufficient.
