This blog is about lexicology – the branch of linguistics dealing with English words, vocabulary, its subdivisions and main features. EFL students taking the course on English lexicology are cordially invited, as well as all those who would like to get some information about English word-building, semantics, synonyms and antonyms, archaisms and neologisms, phraseology, lexicography, the etymology of English words, and many other interesting topics.
I’m a teacher and words are my best friends. The more you learn about words the more you want to explore their power. What I like about lexicology is that you get to know the “inner mechanisms” that help you master the language, understand the logics (or illogicality!) of word building, and how the communication system works.
So, if you want to know what “prehensible” is, tell the difference between a pot-flower and a flower-pot, and why a hamburger is more about a German city that food, join in!
Welcome to read, study and share!
