Lexical Studies Lexicology (Gr. ‘lexis’ - word, ‘logos’ –
learning) studies the vocabulary of the language and the
properties of words (and their combinations) as the main units of the language.
Sense relationships between words Word structure Word-formation Properties of words and word-combinations Principles of classification of the vocabulary Compilation of dictionaries

General Lexicology carries out the general study of
the vocabulary, irrespective of the specific feature of any
particular language and it studies linguistic phenomena and properties common to all languages, i.e. so-called language and linguistic universals.
Special Lexicology investigates characteristic peculiarities in the vocabulary of a given language. Special lexicology may be historical and descriptive.
Descriptive Lexicology deals with the vocabulary of a given language at a given stage of its development. Historical Lexicology or Etymology (Greek etumon ‘primary’ or ‘basic word’, ‘original form of a word’) studies the evolution of the vocabulary and its elements: origin, change, development, linguistic and extralinguistic factors modifying their structure, meaning and usage. Diachronic (Greek dia – ‘through’, chronos – ‘time’) Synchronic (Greek syn – ‘with, together’).
Contrastive Lexicology works out the theoretical basis on which the vocabularies of different languages can be compared and described. Phraseology is the branch of lexicology specializing in word groups which are characterized by stability of structure and transferred meaning. Terminology studies different sides of terms and lexicology gives methods and the scientific apparatus for that.

Vocabulary Lexis Lexicon Dictionary is a selective recording of the word

The term vocabulary
is used to denote the system formed by the sum total of all the words and word equivalents. It is an adaptive system adjusting itself to the changing requirements and conditions of human communication and cultural surrounding.
A lexicon is a list of words in a language – a vocabulary – along with some knowledge of how each word is used.
within a vast, efficient and perfectly balanced system. Word
is a unit of speech which, as such, serves the purposes of human communication. Thus, the word can be defined as a unit of communication. Word is the total of the sounds which comprise it. Word is a speech unit used for the purposes of human communication, materially representing a group of sounds possessing a meaning, susceptible to grammatical employment and characterized by formal and semantic unity. The term word denotes the basic unit of a language of a given language resulting from the association of a particular meaning with a particular group of sounds capable of a particular grammatical employment. A word therefore is simultaneously a semantic and grammatical and phonological unit. It is the smallest unit of the language which can stand alone as a complete utterance. It is a small unit within a vast, efficient and perfectly balanced system.
