Abstract

      Language is a living organism that exists within a set environment whose inhabitants exchange language in different situations which make of the word suggestive of different implications despite the sameness of root. The context then can change the meaning of the word.  The various uses of the word, in it's different contexts, may give indications that totally differ among themselves, but - with these semantic differences - it was noted that there was a link to the indicative links between different connotations Ibn Fares has argued that one root can refer to meanings that can be contemplated then derived, a principle that has represented the origin of w3hat is known as the seminal semantics of the root as in  (أ ز ق
In his pioneering dictionary professor Mohammad Hassan Gabal established this idea, yet it must be known that the same idea can also be traced in some comprehgensive dictionaries.
But it must be admitted that such dictionaries have not explicitly talked about that semantic connection in the same way it has been put forward by Ibn Fares, Gabal, and the author of The Grand Dictionary.
It can here be said that the semantic significance of vocabulary lies within the following three ranges: 1- linguistic or lexical; 2- contextual; 3- and fundamental.
This paper will be concerned with the major differences between the contextual and fundamental significance through application of what has been said in the foregoing dictionaries to some prophetic traditions as narrated by Albukhary.
