Abstract
Among
the most famous Arabic scholars who followed Sheikh Uthman Bin Fodiyo and his
mediate brother Sheikh Abdullahi Bin Fodiyo in terms of developing the Arabic
language and its literature in the city of Sokoto, there was a great linguist, Al-Sheikh Bin Ishaq Attoroddy, who was
lucky to copy from his ancients in amazing linguistical writing where he has
written in most of the linguistic sciences that were known during their time,
such as Arabic grammar, Arabic morphology, Arabic rhetoric's, Arabic prosody
and Arabic lexicology. Among
of his writings in
lexicology is his book titled "Aljumu’u Wal Muthannayat Wal Mufradat." This
book served as a semantic fields dictionary and the importance of the book for
especially the Arabic
learners was the cause that pushed the two researchers to prepare this paper.
The researchers talked about logistical and terminological meaning of the
semantics fields, pointing to their growing up, its developing and lastly, gave
a brief picture of the book indicating its form and contents, by displaying one
of the semantic fields in the book as a practical example of semantic analysis.
