Abstract

Here, we reflect on the lexeme azma and, more generally, on the semantic field of the root ʾ - Za - Ma , the nuances of its synonyms, and some semantic patterns of this concept-process that are discernible in the phraseology offered by the dictionaries Lisān al-ʿArab and Tāj al-ʿArūs . The two giant lexicons, whose examples are often drawn from the Qur'ān, pre-Islamic and Islamic religious and literary traditions, present us with an interesting look not only at the semantization of the concept of crisis in pre-modern Arabic culture, but also at the contextualization and evolution of the term.
