المعجم العربي و إشكالية المصطلح العلمي الحديث

Language is a means of communication and a tool of intellect. The Arabic lexicon, old or modern, is the nation's language store, as it assimilates its original, loan, Arabized, and coined terminologies and utterances. This research aims at demonstrating the role of Arabic lexicon in assimilating modern scientific terminologies and the problems and difficulties confronting modern lexicography. Thus, the modern scientific lexicon can be so comprehensive as to combine the terminologies of various sciences; it can also be used for a specific science, such as the medical, engineering, and agricultural lexicon. These terminologies, however, do not violate the Arabic language properties, derivational constraints, and measures.
