Özet:

The child dictionary helps in developing the verbal wealth of the native language and plays an important role in the language acquisition process. Despite the existence of this type of dictionaries in many human languages, the Arabic library is almost devoid of children dictionaries in its precise sense: existing dictionaries are classified as scholas-tic or simple. In order to draw attention to the importance and need for this dictionary, this study seeks to build a linguistic corpus that will be a resource for the Arabian child dictionary. The researcher derives the material of the corpus from Arabic texts directed at children in the stages of childhood: Early, middle, and late. He also uses statistical analysis methods and natural language processing tools to extract basic data from the corpus. The study aims to provide a systematic vision for building a linguistic corpus for the Arabian child; it also aims to suggest a conception of the distribution of lexical information in the intended dictionary. The study reached a number of results, includ-ing providing a new language resource in Arabic language, providing a method for build-ing and developing this resource for the purpose of lexicography and preparing three lexical models for the age groups of the Arabian child.
