التعريف في المعاجم و كتب اللغة و تأثيره في الخطاب : دراسة دلالية

Abstract EN

has drawn the attention of several fields, such as terminology and discourse analysis.

These two fields overlap in defining “the terms” as related to the essence of meaning in language.

indeed, language, as a means of communication, is produced through different types of discourse at the level of reception and utterance.

it is important to specify the terms that compose the discourse in order to comprehend the discourse's meaning and grasp the speaker's utterances and message.

Given the importance of this topic, several linguistics, grammarians, rhetoricians have been working on specifying what a term stands for and on defining what the concept “ term “ refers to.

researches diverged in focusing upon the term in its isolated occurrence, or by taking into account the grammatical sentences with which it occurs.

other researchers are advocating for a broader analysis by taking into account “ the external contexts” within which the term occurs.

by “ external contexts “, it is meant the social, cultural, psychological, religious, etc, considerations.

Key terms: discourse - Definition - dictionary – meaning – context.
