Abstract:

A linguistic introduction to the structures and meanings of English words

* Covers orthography, synonyms, hyponyms, figurative language, semantic
analysis, loan words and dictionaries

* Considers the history and morphological structure of English and the
influence of borrowing from French, Latin and Greek

* Includes examples, exercises and discussion questions in each chapter

* Includes a glossary of key terms and suggestions for further reading
Lexicology is about words, their meanings and the relationships between them,
their origins and their structure. It combines the study of derivational
morphology with lexical semantics.

This textbook explores the history, meanings and structure of words, the way
they are collected in dictionaries and the way they are stored in our minds.
It goes beyond examining the morphological structure of words to examine the
way words are spelt and the way they sound. At every stage, the book focuses
not only on description, but also on the puzzles that words present. Supported
by numerous examples, exercises, discussion questions, suggestions for further
reading and a glossary, this is an accessible and lively guide to the
linguistic study of English through the consideration of words.
