The usage and its role in the elaboration of dictionaries according to Professor Abderrahman Hadj-Salah's point of view – theory and practice

Abstract

The lexicographer relies in his work on different corpuses. The linguists and lexicographers in
particular consider the corpus, which is based on the actual use of the language, given its
importance, a principal condition to elaborate a dictionary. We will try, through this study, to focus
on one of the modern linguists, the professor Abderrahman Hadj-Salah, who pleads on the favour
of this method, and to figure out the ideas and scientific opinions that influenced him and the best
way, in his opinion , to collect this usage.
