The home of the poetic witness in the book “Al-Zahir fi Ma’ani Kalimat al-Nas” by Ibn al-Anbari, a study of the semantic development of selected models

Abstract

The research shed light on selected examples of words in which semantic development occurred during the era of Ibn al-Anbari, which is the fourth century AH. There is no doubt that the advent of Islam affected many words in terms of their connotations, and this led to a semantic development in them. The angle of looking at these words and their development was through poetic evidence, And clarifying the place of witness from it. The importance of this research comes from the fact that it sheds light on an important linguistic phenomenon, in a significant book, as it deals with the words and structures that the Arabs spoke, their connotations, and the development that occurred in some of them.
