Description
Summary:Arabic has been affected by the contact of the Arabs with the West on the economic terrain. New economic terminologies have also emerged to express new concepts and items, and Arabs therefore coined alternative Arabic forms to substitute foreign terminologies among them. These modern economic terminologies reflect aspects of the development of Arabic and demonstrate its capability to absorb emerging modern developments in the area of economic activities. This research work therefore adopts a semantic analytical approach to study samples of the coined contemporary economic terms in Arabic beginning from their morphological origins that relate to the new meanings. It further analyses their lexical and technical meanings in order to reveal the different nuances of meaning in both senses, and to determine the kind and extent of semantic development that had befallen those terms during their transitions from lexical to technical meanings, by the appreciation of the principles of semantic changes in language which are represented in the process of sense specialization, generalization, expansion, transfer, amelioration and degrading. The study also reveals areas of variation and agreement between the two aspects of meaning. It concludes that most of the coined modern Arabic economic terms are derived from the vault of its vocabularies; that the principle of derivation is still important in the quest for Arabic representations of foreign terminologies; and that most of these terms are metaphorically connected with the literal meanings. It also shows the extent of change in conceptual focus of the Arabs in economic transactions. Some useful suggestions to preserve and develop Arabic are given amongst others; is unification of efforts of the concerned people in order to achieve standardized terms acceptable to all Arab nations.
