Abstract
Lexicons are of core importance for the translator. As a result, we have conducted this study about the development of the Arabic lexicon in Lebanon and the developments devised by the lexicographers in this concern.

It examined the vocabulary lexicons as well as semantics lexicons which appeared in the nineteenth century till mid-twentieth century.

The research further showed the criticism movement to the ancient lexicons and the solutions proposed for authoring modern lexicons.
