前言

章节摘录

　　Etymology is traditionally used for the study of the origins and history of the form and meaningx。Of words.Modern English is de. ried from the languages of early Germanic tribes with a fairlv small vocabulary·　We shall study how this small vocabulary has grown in. to a huge modern，Engl！sh vocabulary and explain the changes that have taken place in the forms and meanings of words.　　semantics lS the study of meanings of different linguistic levels： lexis,yntax’utterance，discourse，etc.But lexieology will focus　on the lexical level.The types of meaning and sense relations such as polysemy，homonymy，synonymy，antonymy，hyponymy and semantic field all belong to the scope of semantic study and consti. tute an important part of lexicology.　　Stylistics is the study of style.It is concerned with the user，s choices oi linguistic elements in a particular context for speciaI ef. fects.　Among the　areas　of　study：lexis，　phonology，　syntax， graphology’we shall concentrate on lexis，exploring the stylistic values of words.　　Lexicography shares with lexicology the same problems：the from,meanm,origins　and　usages　of　words，　but they have a pragmatic difference.A lexicographer’s task is to recird the lan- guage as it is used SO as to present the genuine picture of Words t0the reader,providing authoritative reference，　whereas the studentof lexicology is to acquire the knowledge and information of lexis S0as to increase their lexical awareness and capacity of language use.
