Abstract
The most important reason that made me concerned with the theory of the semantic triangle is the confusion I have noticed amongst Arab scholars regarding limitations of the theory itself and its value compared with other theories of meaning.
My paper is divided into three sections: the first is concerned with illustrating what the theory is by tracing its historical origins in the western linguistic traditions, the second reveals the most important criticized aspects of the theory, and the third deals with how the Arab scholars received the theory.
