INTRODUCTION
Lexicology is a branch of linguistics – the science of language. The term “lexicology” is composed of two Greek morphemes “lexic” – word, phrase and “logos” which denotes learning a department of knowledge. 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. Its basic task – being a study and systematic description of vocabulary in respect to its origin, development and its current use. Lexicology is concerned with words, variable word-groups, phraseological units and morphemes which make up words.
Lexicology is closely connected with other branches of linguistics : phonetics, for example, investigates the phonetic structure of language and is concerned with the study of the outer sound-form of the word. Grammar is the study of the grammatical structure of language. It is concerned with the various means of expressing grammatical relations between words as well as with patterns after which words are combined into word-groups and sentences. There is also a close relationship between lexicology and stylistics which
