This readable introductory textbook presents a concise survey of
lexicology. The first section of the book is a survey of the study
of words, providing students with an overview of basic issues in
defining and understanding the word as a unit of language. This
section also examines the history of lexicology, the evolution of
dictionaries and recent developments in the field. The second
section extends this study of lexicology into the relationship
between words and meaning, etymology, prescription, language as
social phenomenon and translation. "Lexicology: A Short
Introduction" will be of interest to undergraduate students of
linguistics.
