A pragmatic reading in the Lisan Al Arab dictionary by Ibn Manzur selected models

Abstract

      This study falls at the heart of the ancient Arabic lexical heritage with a modern linguistic vision, according to the mechanisms of pragmatis that are concerned with the actual use of language as a discourse issued by a sender to a recipient, and as a discursive, communicative and social phenomenon at the same time between speakers in a linguistic and non-linguistic context, proceeding from the presupposition that the Arab heritage is a deliberative heritage par excellence.

   On this basis, this study seeks to trace some of the principles of pragmatic linguistics and its features in the lexical industry in one of the largest and widest production, namely «Lisan al-Arab» by Ibn Mandhur, although they differ with him in terms of terminology from the conceptual apparatus of his counterpart in the West, but they meet in the same ideas, visions and scientific orientations between them
