A course in modern English Lexicology / Лексикология английского языка

📒 This book makes no pretension to deal with the whole vast field of English Lexicology. It has a more limited aim, to assist the students -of foreign language institutes and departments in their study of the fundamentals of Modern English Lexicology. Post-graduates specializing in English and teachers of English may also find it useful.
This book is, as its title implies, concerned only with the vocabulary of English as it exists and functions at the present time. The authors' major concern is, therefore, with the treatment of the problems inherent in a course of Lexicology from the synchronic angle. The diachronic approach which is, in the authors' opinion, indispensable in any study of vocabulary occupies its due place in the book too.
