Özet:

Arabic language developed and flourished and for a period of time became the language of science and culture in the world. Accordingly, the fields of science and the ability to express them have increased, with the capacity for meaning having always been renewed as words are processed. As a natural consequence of classifying words, expressions were first divided in two: those with similar and those with dissimilar meanings. Similar expressions were also divided in two: those with similar meaning and those with similar pronunciation. Dissimilar words are called mutabayin. Words that sound similar or the same are called mushtarak [homonym]. Words with the same or similar meanings were conceptualized as mutradif [synonym] and are the subject of our research. Synonyms are a linguistic term used for words and phrases that have the same or very similar meanings but are derived from different roots. Our study provides answers to such topics as how synonyms are defined in classical Arabic sources, the different types of synonyms and their meanings, synonyms in the West, and synonyms in modern Arabic. To do this, the study uses sources written in Turkish.
