Lexical semantics is a subfield of linguistics that focuses on the study of the meaning of words and how they are used in language. This area of research examines how individual words and their meanings contribute to overall understanding and interpretation of language. Lexical semantics investigates various aspects of meaning, such as word senses, word relationships, word formation, and word usage in different contexts. Researchers in this field use various methods, such as corpus analysis, experimental studies, and theoretical frameworks to explore the complex and nuanced meanings of words in language. Lexical semantics plays a crucial role in understanding language acquisition, language processing, and communication.
