Abstract EN

This research discusses the possibility of teaching and developing the structure of "ilm osuul elmujam elarabi" (science of bases of the Arabic lexicon) in order that the student can detect the basis of this science and its lexical branches, Proceeding from the definition of the bases in general, then the bases of the lexicon in particular, with an attempt to define the topic of "ilm osuul" (science of bases) and the branches that can be studied.

To achieve such target, the research depends mainly on studying the stages of preparing the lexicography, showing the lexical aspects which each stage handles.

Therefore, the research begins with the stage of preparing the lexical subject.

Next, it shows the stage of checking this subject in order to elaborate on selected variable and lexical aspects.

Then, the stage of classifying the subject comes, and arranging its longer and shorter entries.

Finally, the stage of preparing the introductions and appendixes comes.

Moreover, the research depends, in all of that, on the mental and transferred evidences, which support these bases and which the manufacturers of Arabic lexicon use in making lexicons and analyzing its substance.

Thus, this proves that the Arabic lexicon manufacture is based on rules and rationales which deny confusion and disorder from it, and they give it conditional credibility by a number of principles which the research will discuss in its pages.
