اللفظ في موروث اللسان العماني و أزمة الفهم المعاصر

Abstract EN

This research aimed at studying words in the Omani dialect heritage as part of the Arabic language which has dialectal varieties, enriching Arabic language lexis and semantics.

Adopting the descriptive analytic approach, this research studied the Omani dialect heritage in three main themes: the lingual environment, the documentation process and the contemporary understanding dilemma.

Within the theme of the lingual environment, the research discussed the lingual environments' patterns, the effect of the varieties of place and time, and the ways of its growth.

The documentation process covered the development of the definition of words in the ancient resources.

Finally, the theme of the contemporary understanding dilemma revealed the current misunderstanding of the semantics of the words in the context of the Omani heritage, employing some samples of the verifications of Omani ancient manuscripts The research concluded that the Arabic dictionary Jamharat Al Lugha is the most accurate Arabic dictionary to clarify the semantics of Arabic words in the Omani dialect heritage.

It recommended that it is so important to compose a comprehensive dictionary of the Omani dialect through all its eras.
