التطور الدلالي للفظ "المعجم" في اللغة العامة و المصطلحية

Abstract EN

Arabic needs to write the history of its words, the most important of which is "Lexicon".

Its evolution has already begun by transferring its meaning, through the antonymy, according to ancient scientists.

For me, this is justified by the metaphorical relation called (Considering what will be), while the notion of the term "Lexicon" includes four different concepts, which I develop in chronological order.

Any one of them is based on the meaning of ambiguity, the meaning of its antonym (clarity), as well as the meaning of assembling, which makes this term, so important, stronger in use compared to any of its synonyms, old or new, despite its polysemy which, in this case, becomes an unmistakable manifestation of linguistic economy more than a factor of confusion and an obstacle to communication.
