An outline of english lexicology. Lexical structure, word semantics, and word-formation

Аннотация

What is most important, however, is that in lexicology the stock of words or lexical items is not simply regarded as a list of isolated elements. Lexicologists try to find out generalizations and regularities and especially consider relations between elements (see chapters n and IV). Lexicology is therefore concerned with structures, not with a mere agglomeration of words.
