Inglise leksikoloogia
1.Lexicology as a science
L. studies the voc of lg as a system. Word-learning, lexis-logos. The task of L is to establish the
general features of modern Engl voc. Theoretical L. gives a complete picture of voc. Practical value
lies in using and appretiating the lg more conciously. There is diachronic (historical) L that studies
origin and development; syncronic studies voc at a given historical period. There are general L (studies
words disregarding particular features of any particular lg); special L (studies specific features of a
separate lg, there is Engl that bases on general L); contrastive (compares vocabularys in different
languages).
