Towards Developing a Genealogical Lexicon for Algeria

Abstract

The origin of the genealogical lexicon naming is the science of (genealogy), as this work will fill one of the gaps suffered by the Arabic linguistic lesson in the field of specialized lexicography in general and in this field in particular. We attempt to show through this study the roots of this science that lie in our Arab heritage, the Arab’s excellence in determining their lineage, and the interest of modern Arab scholars in it, on the one hand, as well as our need, as Algerians, to develop a specialized lexicon that brings together our lineages, on the other hand, in light of the ancient and modern lexicography facts. Genealogical lexicons have become an urgent demand in our current era and a basis for several applications in important sectors where the lineage of the individual is an essential foundation. This is done by highlighting the individual’s historical, cultural, artistic and other facts. Such a task does not lie with the individual alone but is instead a project in which all actors participate in order to bring it into existence.
