The objects of lexicology.

Lexicology is a branch of linguistics in which the vocabulary of a language, its

vocabulary is studied.
The subject of lexicology is the word. And its object is the definition of the word
as the basic unit of the language.
The main tasks of lexicology are:
 Clarification of the connection between the meaning of a word and a
concept, highlighting different types of meanings of words;
 Characteristics of the lexical-semantic system, i.e. identification of the
internal organization of linguistic units and analysis of their connections
(semantic structure of a word, specificity of distinctive semantic features,
patterns of its relations with other words, etc.);
 Establishment of various types of systemic relations that exist within various
groups of vocabulary, determination of those objective (including syntactic)
indicators that combine words (in certain meanings).
Lexicology explores the stylistic differentiation of the vocabulary, individual
thematic and lexical-semantic groupings of words, their relationship with each
other and the relationship of units within these groupings. From the point of view
of stylistic differentiation, words, firstly, can belong to certain functional types of
speech. Secondly, there are a significant number of words in the language that give
speech a "high" or "lowered" character.
In addition, in lit. the language includes words that retain a dialectal coloration,
and slang words and expressions are also used in literary literature.
Exploring the vocabulary of the language in its systemic connections, the
lexicologist takes into account that, being designations of objects and phenomena
of extra-linguistic reality, words naturally reflect the connections that exist
between objects and phenomena of reality itself. At the same time, words are units
of a language and there are actually linguistic connections between them: they are
combined into certain lexico-semantic groups, in each language, in its own way,
certain segments of reality.
One of the main tasks of lexicology is to clarify those semantic oppositions that
exist between different words, incl. synonymous and antonymic; it is the
opposition of the meanings of different words that makes it possible to single out
the essential semantic features that determine the given meaning of the word.

In lexicology, stable combinations of words are also studied, which are

dismembered names of individual objects and phenomena of reality and are
equivalents of a word. These combinations refer to phraseology, which is included
in lexicology as one of its sections (by some researchers, however, it is considered
an independent section of the science of language).

Tasks of lexicology:
1. Study of concepts - units, structure of meanings and patterns of functioning.
2. Categorical and lexical-semantic relations.
3. Classification and description of vocabulary.
4. Phraseology.
5. Lexicography.

Lexicology is divided into general, specific, historical and comparative. The first,
called in English general lexicology, is a section of general linguistics that studies
the vocabulary of any language, that which refers to lexical universals. General
lexicology deals with the general laws of the structure of the lexical system, the
functioning and development of the vocabulary of the languages of the world.
