Ghareeb Al-Amali’s words by Abu Ali Al-Qali in Huda، multiple meanings and semantic change (opposites as a model)

Abstract

This research aims to examine the phenomenon of opposites in the book Al-Amali by Abu Ali Al-Qali، who died (356 AH). Al-Qali show awareness and knowledge. We see him sometimes stating the ratio of the word to opposites، and in other places Al-Qali denies that there are opposites، and there are expressions that we do not see mentioning the ratio of the word. To its opposite، he does not name its meanings، and although he is correct in interpreting many of the words، in my opinion sometimes other meanings are more likely than what the speaker mentioned I explain the reasons for it in its places، and the research concluded that the phenomenon of opposites is considered one of the oddities and wonders of the Arabic language، and the strangeness in the word comes as a result of its opposition. It has contributed to growth، linguistic wealth، and breadth in expression. It is one of the Arab traditions in its speech، and it is a kind of relationship between meanings. Whenever mentioning one of the meanings calls to mind the opposite of this meaning، especially between colors، then when white is mentioned، the mind conjures black.
