Description

This textbook is a systematic and accessible introduction to the lexicology of modern English.

Lexicology is the branch of linguistics that studies all aspects of the vocabulary of a particular language.

The book provides an account of the sources of modern English words and studies the development of vocabulary over time.

It examines: What are words? Where do English words come from? How are words made up? How do words 'mean'? How are words used? How can words be investigated? This new edition of the best-selling textbook has been revised and updated throughout.

A new chapter has been added, and chapters on dictionaries and corpus linguistics have been updated.

Lists of exercises and figures, summaries of content at the beginning of each chapter, a revised list of suggestions for further reading, and a new glossary have been added.

Words, Meaning and Vocabulary is an essential introduction to lexicology for undergraduate students.
