Lexical Connotations for some Home Things Expressions in Arabic Language

Abstract

Language is one of the most important characteristics of the human being that distinguishes him from other creatures. Also, it is the most important means of communication between humans, transmission of information in order to maintain the relationship between the reference and the object. Its preservation over time in words and meanings that are linked to them mentally. It would not be possible for the human being to preserve and develop without language; especially in expressing needs such as food, drink, clothing, etc. However, some of these words are still used at the present time such as (koup-cup), (khait- string) and many others. Some others have been replaced by synonymous such as the word (Istabraq) which refers to the woven garment made of patterned silk, and the word (Jafnah-eyelid) which means a bowl made of ceramics which is known today as the big bowl in which food is served. However, some of them were Arabized since the ancient time, from Persian, Greek and other languages due to the linguistic exchange between the different languages and their mixing. Then, the Arabs applied some changes on these lawn words to be fit the Arabic Language and included them in it. Later, these words were formulated in a new Arabic template, which affected the form formulation, and construction consistency. Although their existence in Arabic language is rare, they are considered as pure Arabic.
