Description: This current volume examines the Arabic lexicon from the point of view of changes on a chronological axis. Our approach is both lexical and dynamic, as there are several points that address the dynamic behavior of the lexical items and their subsystems. The lexicon is regarded as a wide variety of views, not just a list of words, therefore, we examine the lexical lists from several points of view, with only one connected with words as such. The composition of the words, especially of the phonemes (in our case, consonants), consisting of the sum of the words are also observed. In addition, various samples of words, such as chosen types of parts of speech, and morphological classes, such as plurals, are taken into consideration.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 164-167) and index.
