Dr. Jamil Al-Malaika Terminology

Abstract

This research belongs to a group of works that attempt to stand on the scientific achievements of individuals in a specific specialized scientific field. This research paper attempts to investigate the terminological work of Dr. Jamil Al-Malaika, and to stand on the specificity of his cognitive product in terms of establishing and selecting terms and establishing special requirements for term production, and his defense of the issue of Arabization of higher education, in addition to his great and important critical efforts in this field. This revelation attempts to shed light on this important Iraqi personality in what he has presented, especially since Al-Malaika is considered a pioneer in this field; as he is a specialist in engineering sciences and a teacher of them, and has acquired many sciences of Arabic, its morphology, derivation and literature, which enabled him to take this science by the hand. This paper traces the terminological output of Al-Malaika through his scattered research in scientific journals, especially the Journal of the Iraqi Scientific Academy, relying on the methodology of description and analysis of what his papers contained. It became clear from the overall study that the growth of Al-Malaika’s terminological ability is a result of his comprehensive engineering and linguistic knowledge, while most of his efforts were focused on establishing the foundations of this science, methods of establishing and selecting scientific terms, enhancing scientific cooperation, and trying to make the Arabization issue a success.
