النظم الدلالي و التفضيل الدلالي : دراسة تأصيلية، و تطبيقية

Abstract EN

This paper presents the concepts of semantic prosody and semantic preference for Arabicreaders, as well as the debate about them and other related terms that arose in the midst ofthe debate.

This is illustrated by the use of an Arabic corpus in the hope of encouragingresearchers to study this important field in corpus linguistics.

It also studies (causes, leadsto, and leads to: the Arabic equivalents to (cause) in some senses using two corpora (theArabic corpus of King AbdulAziz City for Science and Technology and the Arabic Corpusby Parkinson), and concludes that the semantic prosodies of these words tend to have anegative connotation as in English.

The paper also concludes by claiming that the Arabiclexicon, whether it is a corpus-based or not, does not provide any information concerningthe semantic prosody or semantic preference in such vocabulary, but it may be hinted atby the examples it presents.

The study recommends the use of corpus and provide someexplicit information about semantic prosody and semantic preference in the production ofdictionaries, as they are very important of learners and Arab students.
