Arabic English Thematic Lexicon
Arabic–English Thematic Lexicon
The Arabic–English Thematic Lexicon is an invaluable resource for all learners of Arabic.
It contains some 8,000 entries, arranged into themes, including flora and fauna, food and drink, the human body, health care, the family, housing, clothing, education, IT, sports, politics, economics and commerce, the law, media, language, geography, travel, religion, arts, science and natural resources. Three appendices cover the names of Arab and selected non-Arab regions, countries and capitals, and international organisations.
The entries in the Lexicon have been drawn from an extensive corpus of contemporary
Standard Arabic vocabulary, based on authentic sources. In addition to verbs, nouns and adjectives, the Lexicon includes phrases and commonly used collocations, providing users with the necessary vocabulary in order to communicate effectively and confidently in both written and spoken Standard Arabic.
The Lexicon is an indispensable vocabulary-building tool, as well as a useful reference guide.
Daniel Newman is Reader in Arabic and Course Director of the MA in Arabic/English
Translation at the University of Durham.

    Arabic Grammar Notes

    A good mnemonic: the Sun Letters contain all pairs (but not triples) - except ‘a`ynun’ and ‘rhaynun’ - and ‘noonun’ (when the sun shines) and ‘lamun’ (two ‘sukoons’ in a row). When a word beginning with a definite ‘alif lam’ is immediately followed by a Sun Letter, the ‘lamun’ is not pronounced. Instead, the ‘alifun’ (a ‘hamzatu-l’waSli’) combines together with the Sun Letter, which takes a ‘shaddatun’ (e.g. ‘alHuroofu-l’shamsiyyatu’ becomes ‘alHuroofu-sh’shamsiyyatu’). Moon Letters pronounce the ‘lamun’.…

    Foreign Words and Phrases

    Throughout its history, English has been shaped and enriched by words and phrases of French, Scandinavian, Italian, Latin, Greek and German origin. When cultures come into contact with one other, borrowing takes place primarily in the realm of lexical terms (Anderson 1973). As A. I. Smirnitsky points out, a foreign word is a shapeless piece of material, which gains its shape only by means and in the system of the new language (Смирницкий 1954). Many words of foreign origin have been in the English language for so long that they have been freely integrated and can no longer be distinguished from English words and may not trigger a sense of “foreignisms”. However, there are cases, when the word is not assimilated and retains its foreign language spelling, pronunciation as well as foreign language connotation. Such cases are perceived as “organic inclusions” (Смирницкий 1954).…

    Every language carries certain features that distinguish it from other languages although the languages descending from the same origin portray greater resemblances than the ones descending from different families, the similarities and differences are what make learning another language an easy task or an exhausting one. In the field of linguistics, the study of the internal structure of words- since words are the elements constructing any language and they are generally accepted as being the smallest units of any language syntax- is important; it is clear that in most (if not all) languages, words can be related to other words by rules and any language speakers can recognize the words and their relations from their tacit knowledge of the rules of word-formation. These rules are understood by the native speaker and reflect specific patterns in the way words are formed from smaller units and how those smaller units interact in speech. In this way, morphology is the branch of linguistics that studies patterns of word-formation within and across languages, and attempts to formulate rules that model the knowledge of the speakers and learners of these languages.…
