uistics: in such american textbooks as h. a. gleason's «introduction to descriptive linguistics or c. f. hocket's «course in modern linguistics new york. 1958 there is no mention of «lexicology» and what there books have to say about the study of vocabulary bears the marks of hall-hearted improvisation. by contrast, textbooks assign to lexicology a prominence comparable to that enjoyed by phonology and grammar. a sizable literature of articles, dissertations, book- length monographes, specialized collections and a lively stream of conferences on various lexicological subjects, reflect the relative importance of lexicology 2. types of lexicology and its links with other branches of linguistics there are 5 types of lexicology: 1) general; 2) special; 3) descriptive; 4) historical; 5) comparative. general lexicology is a part of general linguistics which studies the general properties of words, the specific features of words of any particular language. it studies the pecularities of words common …
