A Part of Pure Linguistics: Lexicology
5:13:00 PM
Lexicology is a branch of linguistics which studies the vocabulary of a language. Its basic task is to study the origin, the different properties of the vocabulary of a language. In other words, lexicology is concerned with words and set phrases which function in speech.
Jadi, lexicology itu membahas tentang bentuk,
sejarah dan arti kata-kata. Biasanya yang terdapat di kamus.
Lexeme
as an abstract unit.
Lexemes – items of meaning, headwords of dictionary entries. The
headwords are the base forms of the words, from which other word forms are
derived. These base forms may be also termed as the citation forms.
Collocation refers to the combination of words that have a certain mutual expectancy. Range of a lexeme – all the lexemes that co-occur with that particular lexeme. Some items have an extremely restricted range (collocational restriction), e.g. rancid collocates only with butter and bacon.

Connotation
relates to the association that a word has over and above its denotation. (e.g. candle – romantic
connotation). Connotations are far more indeterminate
than denotations. They may be subject to considerable
variations from one generation to the next. On the other hand, Connotations
can be rather subjective and not shared
in the same way by all speakers of a language.
