The branch of lexicology which deals with the meaning is

called semasiology

Слайд 2 P.S. Not to be confused with semiotics

Ferdinand de Saussure described language in terms of signs,

which he in turn divided into signifieds and signifiers.

Ferdinand de Saussure described language in terms of signs, which he in turn divided into signifieds

Слайд 4 The signifier is the sound of the linguistic object

Слайд 5 The signified is the mental construction or image associated

with the sound.

The sign, then, is essentially

the relationship between the two

The signified is the mental construction or image associated with the sound. The sign, then,

Слайд 6 The sign, then, is essentially the relationship between the

two (signified and signifier)

Слайд 7Three branches of semiotics
Semantics - relation between signs and the

things they refer to
Syntactics: relation of signs to each

other in formal structures
Pragmatics: relation of signs to their impacts on those who use them

Слайд 8 There are two approaches (schools) of meaning:

the referential approach, which seeks to formulate the essence of

meaning by establishing the interdependence between words and the things or concepts they denote.

Слайд 9The functional approach, which studies the functions of a word

in speech and is less concerned with what meaning is

than with how it works.

Слайд 10TYPES OF MEANING
word-meaning is not homogeneous

it is made up

of various components the combination and the interrelation of which

determine to a great extent the inner facet of the word

TYPES OF MEANINGword-meaning is not homogeneous it is made up of various components the combination and the

Слайд 11
The two main types of meaning that are

readily observed are the grammatical and the lexical meanings

The two main types of meaning that are readily observed are the grammatical and the

Слайд 12 Grammatical meaning - the component of meaning recurrent

in identical sets of individual forms of different words

i.e. the

tense meaning in the word-forms of verbs (asked, thought, walked, etc.)

or the case meaning in the word-forms of various nouns (girl’s, boy’s, night’s, etc.).

Grammatical meaning - the component of meaning recurrent in identical sets of individual forms of

Слайд 13 Lexical meaning of the word - the component

of meaning proper to the word as a linguistic unit,

i.e. recurrent in all the forms of this word

It is the CONCEPTUAL CONTENT OF A WORD

Lexical meaning includes denotational and connotational components

Lexical meaning of the word - the component of meaning proper to the word as

Слайд 14 One of the functions of words is to

denote things, concepts and so on.

The denotational

meaning, i.e. that component of the lexical meaning which makes communication possible.

One of the functions of words is to denote things, concepts and so on.

Слайд 15 The second component of the lexical meaning is the

connotational component, i.e. the emotive charge and the stylistic value

of the word:

to eat – to pig out
to begin- to commence

The second component of the lexical meaning is the connotational component, i.e. the emotive charge and

Слайд 16 large, big, tremendous
like, love, worship

girl, girlie; dear, dearie

the

emotive charge of the words tremendous, worship and girlie is heavier than that of the words large, like and girl

Слайд 17This does not depend on the “feeling” of the individual

speaker but is true for all speakers of English

Слайд 18 Literary (bookish) words are not stylistically homogeneous.

Besides general-literary (bookish) words, e.g. harmony (PEACE), calamity

(DISASTER) we may single out various specific subgroups, namely:

1) terms or scientific words
2) poetic words and archaisms
3) barbarisms and foreign words
