Abstract

 
In the present era, related discussions to Semantics have extended so largely and much deeper, and the relevant scholars have introduced various theories and issues in this field. Linguistics knowledge, especially Semantics, has emerged as an independent science. Ahmed Mukhtar Omar is one of those scientists that introduced Semantic theories by writing the book of “Semantics”. This work has been translated into Persian by Seyyed Hossein Seyyedi. The author of this paper has tried to study this book through analysis and criticism, and to consider its strong and weak points. At first, the source text has been studied briefly and then the translation is criticized. It is concluded that this book can only be used as a subsidiary textbook for Philology, Etymology, Applied Linguistics, and Translation courses, but it cannot be regarded as a complete textbook.
