The problem of the linguistic term multiplicity and translation

Abstract

The researcher tried to shed light on the problem of the term in general and the problem of the linguistic term in particular. This problem, which has an impact on Arabic linguistics, has become a dilemma that haunts researchers in the study of linguistics, and made them live in terminological chaos, whether in terms of the multiplicity of terms set for one meaning or in terms of the multiplicity of translation. This is what made it difficult to standardize the term and find an agreed-upon Arabic equivalent for it, which contributed to the difficulty of learning linguistics and students' reluctance to use it.

  The researcher also tried to collect some of the proposals that some Arab linguists saw as capable of eliminating this problem.
