 Lexicology(词汇学) 
 A branch of linguistics(语言学), inquiring into the origins and meanings of words.
 
 Word(词的定义)

 Features of English words(4)

 The Development of the English Vocabulary(3)

 以上是对词汇学基本概念的介绍,明天会推形态学(Morphology)的相关内容,也就是从词形的角度来研究词汇。通过这门课程,我发现学术上对词汇现象的分类很详细,过去英语学习中遇到的语言点都可以从中找到对应,这大概也是拓展词汇量的一种思路。
