Efforts of Dr. Nadia Ramadan Al-Najjar in the Study of Semantic Phenomena

Abstract

The research deals with the scientific efforts of Dr. Nadia Ramadan Al-Najjar in the study of semantic phenomena in the Arabic language. The study focuses on three books: (Semantic and lexical lesson, old and new, linguistic and stylistic analysis in the Qur’anic discourse, Surat Yusuf as a model), and research and publications in linguistic thought. The study come up with important semantic phenomena such as synonymy, verbal co-existence, and antonymy.

The study reached several important results, the most important of which is that synonyms and antonyms often share the causes of their occurrence, and that the main reason for their occurrence is the difference in dialects and phonetic development in the Arabic language. The denial of synonymy has also been emphasized in the Holy Qur’an, and this does not mean denying it as a linguistic phenomenon in Arabic, but rather means that the Holy Qur’an has its own unique, miraculous style that differs from other styles of the Arabic language.
