Lexicology
1. Lexicology as a science
Linguistics is the scientific study of language. There are broadly three aspects to the study, which include language form, language meaning, and language in context. Linguistics includes:
Phonetics, Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, Semantics, Pragmatics, Discourse analysis, Stylistics, Semiotics.
Lexicology as a branch of linguistics has its own aims and methods of scientific research, its basic task being a study and systematic description of vocabulary in respect to its origin, development and current use. Lexicology is concerned with words, variable word-groups, phraseological units, and with morphemes which make up words.
Lexicology is closely related to:
Stylistics. Linguo-Stylistics is concerned with the study of the nature, functions and structure of stylistic devices
Psycholinguistics or psychology of language, the study of the psychological and neurobiological factors that help humans to use, produce language.
Linguistic Anthropology is the interdisciplinary study of how language influences social life.
Ethnolinguistics (sometimes called cultural linguistics) is a field of linguistics which studies the relationship between language and culture,
Sociolinguistics is the descriptive study of all aspects of society, including cultural norms, expectations, the way language is used.
Lexicology can be General and Special. General Lexicology is part of General Linguistics; it is concerned with the study of vocabulary irrespective of the specific features of any particular language. Special Lexicology is the Lexicology of a particular language .
2. There are two principal approaches in linguistic science to the study of language material, namely the synchronic (Gr. syn — ‘together, with’ and chronos — ‘time’) and the diachronic (Gr. dia — ‘through’) approach.
The synchronic approach is concerned with the vocabulary of a language as it is at a given time, for instance, at the present time. It deals with the vocabulary and vocabulary
