Lexicology is a branch of linguistics, it is study of words.

The term is composed of two Greek morphemes: logos – learning, Lexus – word, phrase. Thus the literal meaning of the term is the science of the word.

LG is a branch of linguistics and has its own aims and methods of scientific research. Its basic task is to study and descript systematically the vocabulary in respect to its origin, development and current use.

LG is concerned with words, variable workgroups, phrasiological units and with morphemes. Modern English LG investigates the problems of word structure and word formation in modern English.

The semantic structure of English words, the main principles underline the classification of vocabulary units into various groupings, the laws, governing, and the development of the vocabulary.

It also studies the variation, existing between various lexical layers of the English vocabulary and the specific laws and regulations that govern its development at the present time. The source and the growth of the EV and the changes.

Branches:

The General LG – the general study of words and vocabulary. Linguistic phenomena and properties common to all languages are generally referred as language universals.

The Special LG – is the LG of a particular language. That’s the study of and description of its vocabulary and vocabulary units.

The Historical LG – the evolution of any vocabulary. It discusses the origin of various words, their change and development, investigates linguistics and extra linguistics forces. The object - its single elements, modifying their structure, meaning and usage.

The Contrastive and Comparative LG - their aims are to study the correlation between the vocabularies of 2 or more languages and find out the correspondences between the vocabulary units.

The descriptive LG – deals with the vocabulary of a given language at a given stage of its development.

LG also studies all kinds of semantic grouping and semantic relations such as synonymy, antonymy, homonymy, semantic fields. Meaning relations as a whole are dealed within semantics – the Study of meaning.

There are two principal approaches in linguistic science to the study of language material:

· The synchronic (historical). Concerned with the study and description of a language system at a certain time.

· The diachronic. Deals with the changes and the development of the vocabulary on the course of time.

The two approaches are interconnected and interdependent. The synchronic state of a language is the result of a long process of linguistic evolution of its historical development.

Eg: to bag – bagger (closely connected with the history, bagger is borrowed from Old French).
