The Arabic Lexicon & Its Role in The Linguistic Lesson from The Very Beginning of The 20th C. Till Its Middle

Abstract

When ungrammatical Arabic speech(al-lahin) in the Arabic language increased due to mixture of its people with other nations, the linguists began their efforts to collect the language by writing & making it accurate through the lexicon. So, the lexicon is considered the greatest step in the linguistic writing. The lexicographers followed different roads to arrange the pronunciations of their lexicons that made them have known styles. Lexicons had been divided into two types; lexicons for the public and others for specialists. The modern lexicons are renewed & developed that aspire to proceed the modern reign in spite of the challenges that faced such as control of the foreign languages & calling up for colloquial. Those lexicons are described with plenty, comprehension & good arrangement with using pictures that decorate them. Lexicons are considered as aids to clarify the linguistic material to the researchers' minds. This research conveys different viewpoints taken from different lexicons which considered the centre for our work. It is a modern addition to the Arabic linguistic library. We cannot deny the linguists' efforts in the Arab East & the role of the linguistic academies. They all aim to serve the Arabic language.
