Abstract:
This research is a descriptive study of the common man’s vocabulary stated in Tahzeeb Al-lughah by Abi Mansour Al-Azhari (d.370AH), a dictionary which is considered one of the most famous and important dictionaries in the Arabic language. In such a dictionary, Al-Azhari aimed to refine the language and asserted what he considered sound and correct. This research aims to investigate the term “the common man’s language” especially what Al-Azhari means by it and other linguists mean. In addition to this, the research gathers what Al-Azhari states as the common man’s language, linguistically studies and analyses such a language and its linguistical phenomena. It is found that such vocabulary has included the four aspects of the language: phonetics, morphology, grammar, and semantics. The research follows the descriptive-analytical inductive approach. In addition, the research documents the critics views and texts and deduces the following results: The term “common man’s language” is not used only to refer to the colloquial language of the mob, it may be used to refer to common people specialized in language such as linguists or common readers.The vocabulary used by common man has included the four aspects of linguistics: phonetics, morphology, grammar, and semantics.
