Arabic semantics
Arabic semantics is the study of meaning in the Arabic language, focusing on how words, phrases, and sentences convey specific ideas, emotions, and cultural nuances. It explores how context, morphology (word structure), and syntax influence interpretation. Arabic semantics also examines the relationships between words—such as synonyms, antonyms, and metaphors—and how meaning can vary based on different usages or poetic expressions. This helps us understand not just vocabulary, but also the subtle cultural and historical layers embedded in Arabic language and literature, enabling more accurate translation, interpretation, and appreciation of Arabic texts.
