What is the difference of free word-combinations and phraseological units?






What is Lexicology? What is the aim and principles of Lexicology?

Lexicology (from Gr. lexis –“word” and logos – “learning”) is the part of linguistics dealing with the vocabulary of a language and the properties of words as the main units of language. The term word denotes the basic unit of a given language. Thus, the literal meaning of the term Lexicology is ‘the science of the word’.

Lexicology as a branch of linguistics has its own aims and methods of scientific research, it’s basic task being a study and systematic description of vocabulary in respect to its origin, development and current use.

 

What disciplines Lexicology links with?

What are the linguistic functions of a word?

There is also close relationship between Lexicology. and Stylistics, or, to be more exact, Linguo-Stylistics(Linguistic Stylistics). Linguo-Stylistics is concerned with the study of the nature, functions and structure of stylistic devices, on the one hand, and with the investigation of each style of language, on the other, i.e. with its aim, its structure, its characteristic features and the effect it produces as well as its interrelation with the other styles of language.

What is semasiology? What is the difference between semasiology and semantics?

The branch of the study of language concerned with the meaning of words, is called semasiology. The name comes from the Greek semasia – “signification” (from sema ‘sign’ and semantikes ‘significant’). As semasiology deals not with every kind of linguistic meaning but with lexical meaning only, it may be regarded as a branch of lexicology.

The main objects of semasiological study treated in this book are as follows: semantic developments of words, its causes and classification, relevant distinctive features and types of lexical meaning, polysemy and semantic structure of words, semantic grouping and connections in the vocabulary system, i.e. synonyms, antonyms, terminological systems, etc.

What is the difference of free word-combinations and phraseological units?

word-groups viewed as functionally and semantically inseparable units are traditionally regarded as the subject matter of phraseology. These units are habitually described as idioms but no attempt has been made to investigate these idioms as a separate class of linguistic units or a specific class of word-groups.

Phraseological unities are partially non-motivated as their meaning can usually be perceived through the metaphoric meaning of the whole phraseological unit.
