LEXICOLOGY
Created by : Puti Aisha Regihta
Defenision : Lexicology is the part of linguistic which studies words. This may
include their nature and function as symbol, their meaning, the
relationship of their meaning to epistemology in general, and the
rules of their composition from smaller elements (morphemes
such as the English -ed marker for past or un- for negation; and
phonemes as basic sound units). Lexicology also involves
relations between words, which may involve semantics (for
example, love vs. affection), derivation (for example, fathom vs.
unfathomably), usage and sociolinguistic distinctions (for
example, flesh vs. meat), and any other issues involved in
analyzing the whole lexicon\ of a language.
Dealing with Lexicology, there are some technical terms we have to
comprehend, such as :
LEXICOGRAPHY
LEXICOGRAPHER
LEXEME
LEXICON
Types of Lexicology :
General Lexicology Spesial Lexicology
Connections with other branches :
Grammar
Cultural Studies
Phonetics
Stylistics
Grammar :
Lexicology is linked with Grammar
because the word is used
in speech as a grammatical
unit, in certain
grammatical forms and function.
Also lexicology has connections with Phonetics. If we change the stress, we change the meaning of
the word and even part of the speech: rEcord – recOrd, cOment – comEnt; blackboard – black board,
blackbird – black bird.
Phonetics :
One of the problems of lexicology is stylistic
characteristics. Stylistics studies different stylistic styles. The reflection of the style is in the text. E.g. bookish style we
often can find in classical fiction or textbooks; collocations – in
speech.
Stylistics :
Cultural Studies
And the last connection is with Social Linguistics (Cultural Studies): language is a part of the culture, it’s a reflection of the mentality of people. There are some specific word combinations and associations in every language. E.g. professions: kindness is associated with social workers.
What is “WORD” ?
Word can be defined as a speechsound or a
combination of sounds,or its representation in
writing, that symbolizes and communicates a
meaning and may consist of asingle morpheme or a
combination of morphemes.
