Hayk, aap. kab. wn, 93, TIT a Foreword The theoretical and practical value of lexicology is enormous. It gives stematic description of the present make-up of the vocabulary and reveals the most significant characteristics of lexical units, regularities of its growth, functioning and development: morphemic structure of the words, their derivational potential, the analysis of valency of lexical units, the analysis of their semantic characteristics, connection of meaning with sound-form and other meanings, laws of formation of set-expressions, Lexicology studies also the dynamic side of the lexical system: the origin of lexical units, their etymological characteristics, the analysis of peculiarities of the vocabulary depending on territorial, social and another differentiation of a lingual collective. Thus, the two principal approaches to the study of the vocabulary — the synchronic and diachronic — are observed in the aim of lexicology — a multiaspect and complex description of the properties of the vocabulary of the language. The main purpose of the seminars should be to teach the students to observe, analyze and interpret language phenomena. They help a would-be teacher of the English language to stimulate a systematic approach to the facts of the vocabulary, Working with the booklet the students get the knowledge of different branches of the English lexicology: Etymology, Morphology, Word-building, Semasiology, Phraseology, which are indispensable in acquiring oral skills, analytical reading and translation. Without them one can hardly acquire a perfect command of English as a perfect command of a language implies the conscious approach to the language’s resources and at least a partial understanding of the “inner mechanism” which makes the huge language system work. The booklet is intended for English language students at Pedagogical Universities taking the course of English lexicology and fully meets the requirements of the programme in the subject. This booklet contains the plans of seminars in English lexicology, practical assignments on the main problems of English lexicology, extracts from the original books by English-speaking authors for lexicological analysis and the list of examinational questions. 4 Seminar I Lexicology as a branch of linguistic science 1.
