جهود مجمع اللغة العربية بالقاهرة في صناعة المعجم العربي

Abstract EN

The Arabic language academy in Cairo was established in 1919 AD in order to reserveand develop the Arabic language, to keep pace with the developments of civilization.

the contacting of Arab linguists with western linguistics and printing appearance were two main factors in making the modern Arabic lexicon, and changing from the ancient lexical composition to the techniques, methods and concepts produced by the western civilization that touch the nature and core of the lexical composition.

the academy carried the mission of lexical renewal, by entrusting the orientalist "FISHER" with the duty of completing the historical lexicon of Arabic language and assigning the Arab lexicographers to compose the intermediate lexicon according to modern standards in compiling, setting and defining.

then, it produced the great lexicon, which is the largest project accomplished by the academy, for which it mobilized the efforts of experts and lexicographers and financed it with financial support.

from this view point, we ask : Q1 : what are the forms of renewal in the lexicons of the linguistic academy in Cairo ? Q2 : what are the criticisms submitted against it ? Q3: which lexicon does the Arab nation hope to accomplish ? among the most important results reached in this research : -to preserve our Arab heritage while working on the manufacture of dictionaries in accordance with the developments of the times, renewal in presentation and appropriateness of modern curricula.
