Naturally, lexicology is a theoretically-oriented course concerning with the basic theories of words in general and in particular, but also a practical one dealing with copious stocks of words and idioms, a great many usage examples. such as morphology, semantics, etymology(词源学;词源说明), stylistics(文体论).2、Content words(实义词) are used to name objects, qualities, actions, processes or states and have independent lexical meanings. They are nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, numerals and interjection.3、Collocative meaning consists of the associations a word acquires in its collocation. In other words, it is that part of the word meaning suggested by the words before or after the word in discussion.4、Homonyms are generally defined as words different in meaning but either identical both in sound and spelling or identical only in sound or spelling.5、Prefixation is the formation of new words by adding prefixes to stems. Prefixes do not generally change the word-class of the stem but only modify its meaning. However, there is an insignificant number of class-changing prefixes.Eg: Non-class-changing prefixes: natural-unnatural, like-dislike, fair-unfair Class-changing prefixes: force-enforce, danger-endanger, form-deform, little-belittle, war-postwar, college-intercollege6、Suffixation is the formation of new words by adding suffixes to stems. Unlike prefixes which primarily change the meaning of the stem, suffixes have only a small semantic role, their primary function being to change the grammatical function of stems. In other words, they mainly change the word class. However, they may also add attached meaning to the stem.三、Answer the following question.1、Compounds differ from free phrases in the following three aspects.①Phonetic features. In compounds the word stress usually occurs on the first element whereas in noun phrases the second element is generally stressed if there is only one stress.②Semantic features. Compounds are different from free phrases in semantic unity. Every compound should express a single idea just as one word.③Grammatical features. A compound tends to play a single grammatical role in a sentence.2、①Lexical meaning(词汇意义) is the meaning of an isolated word in a dictionary. This component of meaning is identical in all the forms of the word.E.g. ‘go, goes, went, gone, going’ possess different grammatical meaning. But they have the same lexical meaning expressing the process of movement.②、Grammatical meaning(语法意义)refers to that part of meaning of the word which indicates grammatical concept or relationships such as the word class, singular and plural forms of nouns, tense meaning of verbs and their inflectional forms (forget, forgets, forgot, forgotten, forgetting).③、Unlike lexical meaning, different lexical items, which have different lexical meanings, may have the same grammatical meaning. On the otherhand, the same word may have different grammatical meanings. Functional words, though having little lexical meaning, possess strong grammatical meaning whereas content words have both meanings, and lexical meaning in partial. Lexical and grammatical meanings make up the word-meaning. It is known that grammatical meaning surfaces only in use. But lexical meaning is constant in all the content words within or without context as it is related to the notion that the word conveys.英语词汇学论文题目1、英语教学中词汇的处理2、英语词汇意义的特点与词汇教学3、论中英文中动物词汇的文化差异4、英汉文化内涵在动物词汇上的体现5、试论篇章词汇衔接的语义基础6、英汉词汇文化内涵探析7、女性相关词汇及其文化内涵8、动物词汇的应用及其隐喻性的探索9、就词汇空缺谈旅游英语翻译技巧10、汉英语姓名文化对比研究11、英语颜色词的词义及文化对比研究12、言语听辨中的词汇提取13、浅析词汇的记忆与词的形态理据之问的关系14、试析英语中的歧义现象15、大学英语词汇教学的有效方法16、英语词汇的认知与活用17、英语词汇的联想与搭配探析18、英汉词汇比较中文化内涵的展现19、英汉词汇的文化差异20、隐喻对英语词汇演变的影响21、隐喻认知理论对英语词汇教学的启示22、论英语词汇搭配的特征。
