Abstract

This study aims to revitalise the linguistic heritage by connecting it to modern developments in the form of new semantic theories. Also, to highlight the role of Arabs in preparing the theory of semantic fields, learning their methods of collecting language, and uncovering the early seeds of this theory in our linguistic heritage, using the Book of Al-Khail by Al-Asma`i as a model. Because it is one of the traditional books that set the path for semantic field theory, the importance of horses in Arab culture, the Asmui's scientific standpoint, and narratives that resonate in the heritage books. The researcher analysed the book's terms, distributed them according to the rules of semantic field theory, and revealed their synaptic relationships that help the reader determine their semantics and not confuse their meanings, taking the analytical-descriptive approach as methodology for this. The study concluded that features of the semantic field theory appeared prominently in the Book of Al-Khail by Al-Asma`i.

Keywords: semantic fields theory, Al-Khail (the Horse), Al-Asma`i.
