The Words that Abū al-？ayyib al-Lughaw？？ does not Accept as A？dād (Contronym) in the Context of Kitāb al-A？dād

In this study, the words that Abū al-？ayyib al-Lughawī did not consider as a？dādwhile his predecessors accepted the same words as a？dād(contronym), are examined. These words are examined with the purpose of determining his approach towards contronmy words (a？dād). There is disagreement about the definition and the number of a？dāds, which can shortly be defined as the word which has two opposite meanings. In this study, brief information about the definition and limitation of a？dādand the reasons that produce a？dādare given, and then the words that Abū al-？ayyib does not accept as a？dād are analysed under the four titles – based on the classification made by himself. The author does not accept the words which have the same ism al-fā？il(active participle) and ism al-maf？ūl(passive participle) format because of the verb’s being ecwefor the middle letter’s being combined with the final letter of the verb as a？dād. Besides, he does not accept the words that have two opposite meanings due to their figurative meaning as a？dād. He also states that he does not take the words included ina？dādcategory just because their meanings are reversed by Arabs as a？dād. With this attitude, the author has rendered the concept more comprehensible by showing what is not a？dād.

The author had the opportunity to examine most of the studies about a？dādand making a comparison between these studies, he wrote Kitāb al-A？dād f？？ kalām al-？Arab. The work was composed by arranging the words, which had been accepted as a？dādby the former scholars, in an alphabetical order according to their initial letters alone. The author completed his work by using expressions showing his objection or confirmation about the words’ being a？dādor not while mentioning the words. Abū al-？ayyib added an addendum to the end of the work and in this section, he noted some words which the former scholars had accepted as a？dādbut he did not. Although he explained the reason of adding this addendum as not to be thought of unaware of these words, he aimed to correct a mistake made by the previous linguists by identifying it thanks to the mentioned addendum.
