영문 초록

This paper studies the semantic devlopment in the Travels of Ibn Battutah, in an attempt to make for the shortcomings in the study of the Arabic language history, especially in connection with the devolpment of semantics in the light of Modern Linguistics findings and laws that control the relationship between language and society. It enumerates the aspect and reasons of semantic development, and shows the factors that guide the new meanings of words that emerge out of it. This paper also shows the stages of the semantic development of some words through their usage in Ibn Battutah’s Travels versus the traditional Arabic lexican, and lashes at the semantic development that took place beyond Ibn Battutah’s time. This paper also tries to relate the semantic development as manifested in Ibn Battutah’s Travels to the political, religious and social conditions that entailed them, and tries to show how the linguistic dominance of Persian in India at that time influenced the semantic change of some words.
