At present the migratory phenomenon in particular that of the refugees aroused diverse political and human crisis worldwide.

The economic crisis and especially the war in the endemic state in certain regions urged the people to move even to leave their country and to ask for the asylum to another one so transforming them into refugees.

So, beyond the painful situation lived by these individuals, forced to the exile, it is interesting to deal with the various meanings that can set the terms of «refuge» in the languages: French, English and Arabic, to understand the various dimensions of this phenomenon.

The human language being a vital and essential vector which obliges every person receiving of such language to submit itself to the syntactical and semantic requirements, we shall try to show that it is the linguistic aspect which determins the use of these terms «refuge and refugee» by the individual and by the homogeneous speech community; just like it governs the choice which reflects the abstract structure of this term among others with the frame work of a semantic network.
