ABOUT LEXICOLOGY

Assalamualaikum wr.wb good time everyone .. so let we study about the lexicology in this oppurtunity... have fun 

Definition Of Lexicology
Lexicology adalah ilmu/studi mengenai bentuk, sejarah dan arti kata-kata.
menurut bahasa lexicology berasal dari kata lexicon yang berarti: kamus, mu'jam atau istilah dari sebuah ilmu.
Menurut istilah, leksikologi adalah ilmu pengetahuan yang mempelajari seluk beluk makna/arti kosakata yang telah termuat atau akan dimuat di dalam kamus.
Lexicology studies word formation,semasiology, etymological characteristicsof words, phraseological units,lexicography and so on
General and Special Lexicology
The general study of words and vocabulary, irrespective of the spe­cific features of any particular language, is known as general lexicology. .
Special lexiсоlоgу devotes its attention to the des­cription of the characteristic peculiarities in the vocabulary of a given language.
Lexicology deals with the vocabulary and characteristic features of words and word-groups ;

  • Ø  The term “vocabulary” is used to denote the system of
  • words and word-groups that the language possesses.
  • Ø  The term “word” denotes the main lexical unit of a
  • language resulting from the association of a group ofsounds with a meaning.
  • Ø  The term ‘word group” denotes a group of words
  • which exists in the language as a ready-made unit, has
  • the unity of meaning, the unity of syntactical function.

According to the theorotical basis of the vocabularies of different languages there are three types of them:
1.      Historical lexicology
 deals with the historic change of words in the course of language development.
2.      Descriptive lexicology
deals with the vocabulary of a given language at a period of time.
3.      Contrastive lexicology
 studies languages from the point of view of their identity and differentation.

Word-Formation and Word-Classes in Lexicology

Word formation these can be summarised as follows:
Suffixation: man+ly = manly
Preffixation : un+true = untrue
Affixation : dis+taste+ful =distasteful

Prefixes
We add prefixes before the base or stem of a word.
Examples
prefixes
monorailmonolingual
mono- means ‘one’
multipurposemulticultural
multi- means ‘many’
post-warpostgraduate
post- means ‘after’
unusualundemocratic
un- means ‘not’ or ‘opposite to’
See also:

Suffixes
We add suffixes after the base or stem of a word. The main purpose of a suffix is to show what class of word it is (e.g. noun or adjective).


Examples
suffixes
terrorismsexism
-ism and -dom are used to form nouns
employeractor
-er and -or are used to form nouns to describe people who do things
widen, simplify
-en and -ify are used to form verbs
reasonable,unprofitable
-able is used to form adjectives
unhappily,naturally
-ly is a common suffix used to form adverbs

Typical word-class suffixes
A suffix can often, but not always, tell us if a word is a noun, verb, adjective or adverb:
nouns
Verbs
adjectives
Adverbs
station
government
cruelty
soften
identify
industrialise
drinkable
Japanese
useless
carefully
easily
sadly


The importance of English lexicology is based not on the size of its vocabulary, however big it is, but on the fact that at present it is the world’s most widely used language.
So, lexicology as a branch of linguistics has its own aims and methods of scientific research, its basic task being the study and systematic description of the vocabulary of some particular language in respect to its origin, development and current use. Hence lexicology investigates words, word-groups, word-equivalents and morphemes which make up words.

SYNTAX

Definition of syntax
in linguisticssyntax refers to the rules that govern the ways in which words combine to form phrasesclauses, and sentences.
  1. Box
  2. That big box
  3. That big box are very heavy
(1) is word. Then, (2) is phrase and the last, (3) is Clause
The phrase made up of a few words and then will grow larger into a clause.

MORPHOLOGY

Well guys, in this oppurtunity i would like to explain about morphology, this is it:

Morphology is concerned with the study of morphomes, which are the smallest units of grammar.

Let’s see this word:
Singular                        Plural
rabbit                             rabbits
bus                                 buses
house                             houses

in the example, there are two morphomes, it is rabbit and s.

Free and bound morphomes

Mean-ing-less = meaningless
The word are composed by three morphomes.

Dis-like = dislike
The word are composed by two morphomes that is bound.

Bound morphomes divided into two: like “dis-“ and “un-“  and ending “-ly” , “-ness

Next, let’s see this word:
Word                             Pronunciation
Slammed                       /slæmd/
Slipped                          /slıpt/
Stilted                           /stıltıd/

We didn’t saying that word without –ED , we known as “ allomorphs”.
In adjective form:
In-tolerant
Il-legal
Im-possible
So, il-, im-,in-,and ir-, can be called allomorphs

Bound morphome divided into two:
Derivational morphology
Inflectional morphology

We are going to explain about derivational morphology

Morphomes can be used to form new words:
Beauty +ful = beautyful
Un+true = untrue
Sub+consious+ly =subconsiously

But not always change intothe function of the word:
Prefix              free morphomes                      result
Be                   witch(n)                                   bewitch(v)
De                   limit(v)                                    delimit(v)
En                   rich(adj)                                   enrich(v)
Ex                   terminate(v)                             exterminate(v)
Hyper             market(n)                                 hypermarket(n)

Next, the word ending in the morphomes “-acy,-ation, -er, -or, -ess, -ity, -ment, -ness, -ship tend to be noun:
Democracy      painter             bewilderment
Adoration       mistress            weakness

Inflectional morphology
It is do not involve a change of word class.

Plural:
Book               books

Possesive :
Ratna              ratna’s ring

Irregular :
Mouse             mice

PHONOLOGY SUMMARY

Phonology adalah cabang ilmu pengetahuan yang menggabungkan suara satu dengan suara dua yang memiliki arti, inilah yang membedakannya dengan Phonetics. Seperti sebelumnya kita telah tahu apa itu phonetics yang hanya mengeluarkan bunyi tanpa tahu apa artinya. Pada kesempatan ini teman-teman saya akan membahas tentang phonology yang mencakup tentang IPA (International Phonetics Alphabet)

There is a link about IPA and there are the pronounciation of word, you should open this link:

http://www.antimoon.com/how/pronunc-soundsipa.htm

http://www.omniglot.com/writing/ipa.htm 

And and that is the table of IPA For youu... 



The IPA can be helpful for studying a language, especially languages that use letters that are silent or have multiple pronunciations. The IPA uses a single symbol to desribe each sound in a language. If a letter in a word is silent, there will be no IPA symbol used in the transcriptions. 

and the place we make it with:

1. Bilabial

(Bibir atas dan bawah bertemu)

/p/ as in "purse" and "rap"

/b/ as in "back" and "cab" 

/m/ as in "mad" and "clam"

















2. Labio-Dental
(Gigi atas dan bibir bawah bertemu)

/f/ as in "fro" and "calf"
/v/ as in "vine" and "have"


3. Dental
(lidah dengan bagian depan gigi atas bertemu)

/θ/ as is "thick" and "bath"
/ð/ as in "the" and "rather"

/t/ as in "tab" and "rat"
/d/ as in "dip" and "bad"
/s/ as in "suit" and "bus"
/z/ as in "zit" and "jazz"
