El-Muʻcemu’l-Arabiyyu'l-Êsâsî Sözlüğü Üzerinde Analitik İncelenme

Abstract

The vocabulary work consists of several basic steps. These basic steps are: collecting information and facts, choosing elements, organizing, writing and achieving the final result. The dictionary is an element that preserves the linguistic heritage of the nation. This factor is pushing ancient and modern scientists to guide dictionaries on certain theories. Thus, this study aims to analyze the dictionary "al-Mu'cemu'l-Arabiyyu'l-Esâsî", which is one of the modern dictionaries and is encyclopedic and monolingual in nature, published by the Organization for Education, Culture and Science of the League of Arab States, prepared for those whose native language is not Arabic. The dictionary was published as a book titled "al-Mu'cemu'l-Arabiyyu'l-Esâsî" distributed by the Arab League Education Culture and Science Organization, Larousse Foundation. The first edition was published in 1989. This is a modern dictionary entering the fourth generation of the Arabic dictionary process. In addition, it is accepted as the third dictionary after the dictionary Muʻcemu'l-Vasît and Kâmûsu'l-Cedîd Li't-Tullâb due to its collective authorship. The dictionary contains about twenty-five thousand items arranged alphabetically from the root of the word. Thus, the dictionary is a reliable aid for Arab and non-Arab teachers, students and general intellectuals. In the study, after the definition, editions and authors of the dictionary are specified, information about the main features and purposes of the dictionary is given. Then, the compilation issue of the dictionary, its articles and the methods it followed were analyzed with the analytical method and the evaluation of the dictionary was given with a critical point of view.
