Difference between Lexicology and Semantics

Lexicology vs. Semantics

Lexicology is the part of linguistics that studies words. Semantics (from σημαντικός sēmantikós, "significant") is the linguistic and philosophical study of meaning, in language, programming languages, formal logics, and semiotics.

Similarities between Lexicology and Semantics

Lexicology and Semantics have 14 things in common (in Unionpedia): Computational semantics, Discourse, Homonym, Linguistics, Mathematical logic, Meaning (linguistics), Meronymy, Onomasiology, Opposite (semantics), Phono-semantic matching, Semasiology, Symbol, Word, WordNet.

Computational semantics

Computational semantics is the study of how to automate the process of constructing and reasoning with meaning representations of natural language expressions.

Discourse

Discourse (from Latin discursus, "running to and from") denotes written and spoken communications.

Homonym

In linguistics, homonyms, broadly defined, are words which sound alike or are spelled alike, but have different meanings.

Linguistics

Linguistics is the scientific study of language, and involves an analysis of language form, language meaning, and language in context.

Mathematical logic

Mathematical logic is a subfield of mathematics exploring the applications of formal logic to mathematics.

Meaning (linguistics)

In linguistics, meaning is the information or concepts that a sender intends to convey, or does convey, in communication with a receiver.

Meronymy

Meronymy (from Greek μέρος meros, "part" and ὄνομα onoma, "name") is a semantic relation specific to linguistics, distinct from the similar meronomy.

Onomasiology

Onomasiology (from ὀνομάζω (onomāzο)—to name, which in turn is from ὄνομα—name) is a branch of linguistics concerned with the question "how do you express X?" It is in fact most commonly understood as a branch of lexicology, the study of words (although some apply the term also to grammar and conversation).

Opposite (semantics)

In lexical semantics, opposites are words lying in an inherently incompatible binary relationship, like the opposite pairs big: small, long: short, and precede: follow.

Phono-semantic matching

Phono-semantic matching (PSM) is the incorporation of a word into one language from another, often creating a neologism), where the word's non-native quality is hidden by replacing it with phonetically and semantically similar words or roots from the adopting language. Thus, the approximate sound and meaning of the original expression in the source language are preserved, though the new expression (the PSM) in the target language may sound native. Phono-semantic matching is distinct from calquing, which includes (semantic) translation but does not include phonetic matching (i.e. retaining the approximate sound of the borrowed word through matching it with a similar-sounding pre-existent word or morpheme in the target language). At the same time, phono-semantic matching is also distinct from homophonic translation, which retains the sound of a word but not the meaning.

Semasiology

Semasiology (from σημασία,, "signification") is a discipline of linguistics concerned with the question "what does the word X mean?".

Symbol

A symbol is a mark, sign or word that indicates, signifies, or is understood as representing an idea, object, or relationship.

Word

In linguistics, a word is the smallest element that can be uttered in isolation with objective or practical meaning.
