Classification of words
Full words: content/notional words They are meaningful in themselves. (nouns, verb, adj, adv, numerals) Form words: grammatical/functional words They are meaningful only when combining with other words. So they have no independent meanings proper(狭义的，严格意义上的). (articals, prep, conj, pron, pronominal adverbs) (代副词: when, where)

1What is lexicology
1What is lexicology?English lexicology is a theoretically-oriented course. It is chiefly concerned with the basic theories of words in general and of English words in particular. However, it is a practical course as well, for in the discussion, we shall inevitably deal with copious stocks of words and idioms, and study many usage examples. Naturally, there will be a large quantity of practice involved.2a word may be defined as a fundamental unit of speech and minimum free form; with a unity of sound and meaning (both lexical and grammatical meaning), capable of performing a given syntactic 句法function. Therefore, from the lexicological point of view, a word is a combination of form (phonological) and meaning (lexical and grammatical). In addition, a word ac ts as a structural unit of a sentence.3Lexical item词条A unit of vocabulary is generally referred to as a lexical item.4The term vocabulary usually refers to a complete inventory of the words in a language.5 Meaning is closely related to a concept. A concept is the base of the meaning of a word. A word is used to label a concept. The concept is abstracted from the person, thing, relationship, idea, event, and so on, that we are thinking about. We call this the referent. The word refers to the referent through a concept. This approach to meaning can be diagrammed as followings: word◊concept◊referent. Meaning can refer to both something in general and in particular. Meaning in the language context may have emotional and stylistic colors, express one’s emoti on, attitude and position. Therefore, meaning adds supplementary value to the concept the word expresses.6The morpheme(词素) is the smallest meaningful linguistic unit of language, not divisible or analyzable into smaller forms.7Morphemes which are independent of other morphemes are considered to be free. Free morpheme s have complete meanings in themselves and can be used as free grammatical units in sentences. Therefore, we might as well say that free morphemes are content morphemes or free roots(自由词根).8A bound root is that part of the word that carries the fundamental meaning just like a free root. Unlike a free root, it is a bound form and has to combine with other morphemes to make words9Affixes are forms that are attached to words or word elements to modify meaning or function. According to the functions of affixes, we can put them into two groups: inflectional and derivational affixes. Inflectional affixes (or inflectional morphemes) serve to indicate the syntactic relationships between words and function as grammatical markers。

If we want to express meanings, we need to have a store of words that we can select from when we wish to express these meanings under the control of grammatical rules.
What is linguistics then? Linguistics is the scientific study of
languages.

The nature and domain of lexicology
Lexicology is a branch of linguistics, inquiring into the origins, meaning and uses of words.
English Lexicology (Introduction) 英语词汇学 教学课件
Its Relation to other Disciplines IV
Stylistics:
Stylistics is the study of style. It is concerned with the user’s choices of linguistic element in a particular context for special effects, including lexis, phonology, syntax, graphology.
Lexicology focuses on the lexical level, dealing with the types of meaning and sense relations such as :Polysemy, homonymy synonymy, Antonymy, hyponymy, and semantic field, which constitute an important part of lexicology
lexicology: the form , meaning , origins and usage of words. They have pragmatic differences. A lexicographer’s task is to record the language as it is used to so as to present the genuine picture of words to the reader, providing authoritative reference . While the student of lexicology is to acquire the knowledge and information of lexis so as to increase their lexical awareness and capacity of language use.
English Lexicology 1-1
• Only lexicologists who do write dictionaries are lexicographers. • Lexicography is the practical lexicology, it is practically oriented though it has its own theory, while the pure lexicology is mainly theoretical.
• Keywords: external structure, morphological, morpheme, word family, central, peripheral, root, affix
Identification of words
• Stability: stable linguistic units.
– I usually have dinner at 6 but yesterday I had it at seven.
• How many words are there? • How many times did the word “have” occur?
