صناعة المعجم العربي الحديث : الواقع و التحديات

Abstract EN

Lexicography is considered one of the most difficult linguistic pathways, as the lexicographer must be familiar with a set of linguistic subjects and historical knowledge .in addition to a set of traits that the lexicographer must possess as for patience, endurance, determination...etc.

Lexicography has evolved globally in terms of arrangement, selection of entries and how to display the material.

It has specific techniques and foundations in terms of form and subject matter.

However, our Arabic Lexicon is still tight to the past, and our Lexicons are still stick to the ancient experience of Arabs when they attempt to develop a modern Lexicon.

What made the modern Arab dictionary going through a major crisis which is its unablity to keep pace with modernity.

So, most of the dictionaries that exist today do not meet the need of writers, intellectuals and people in general.

They are away from modern trends in lexicography and can be described as abandoned or neglected dictionaries because the extent of its success goes back to its popularity and use.
