تفسير المعنى بالصورة في المعجم الوسيط و موازنته بالتفسير بالوصف في المعاجم القديمة "أدوات الحرب مثالا"

الملخص EN

This research aims to study two types of interpreting the meaning of the word in the dictionary.

These are: interpreting by description which has often been used by old dictionaries and interpreting by image which has been used in modern dictionaries such as Almu’jam Alwaseet.

This will be applied to the vocabulary related to war tools which the Arabs in old times paid great attention to and so they immortalized the words in their poetry and dictionaries until modern times.

This countries and companies competed in developing, manufacturing and selling these weapons and even depending on them to assure their strength.

The timitations of the study are the Vocabulary items of the war tools in old dictionaries and in «Almu'jam Alwaseet« .

The researcher used the applied descriptive method in studying these vocabulary items and interpreting them by description in old dictionaries and comparing this to interpreting them by image in «Almu`jam Alwaseet«.

This research has two parts, The first is the role of the image in communicating and interpreting the meaning.

This included the definition of the image linguistically and idiomatically and from a religious perspective.

The second part is an empirical study which included balancing the interpretation of meanings of war tools by images in Alwaseet with the interpretation by description in old dictionaries.

The research concluded some finding.

The most important of these is that the description was used more in the interpretation of some vocabulary items and the image was used more in others especially for those items which were used in the past but are no longer in use.

People have forgotten these tools so the image come supporting description in interpreting these words.
