particularly interesting aspect of historical lexical typology is the search for 
cross-linguistically recurrent patterns in contactinduced lexicalization and 
lexical change, e.g., differences in borrowability among the different parts of 
the lexicon and the corresponding processes in the integration of new words, 
or patterns of lexical acculturation (i.e., how lexica adjust to new objects and 
concepts).

Lexical-typological research can also be more 
local
, e.g., restricted to a 
particular lexical field, a particular derivational process, a particular polysemy 
pattern, or more 
general
, with the aim of uncovering patterns in the 
structuring of the lexicon that is supposed to have a bearing on many essential 
properties of the language. The latter includes various approaches to the issues 
of “basic” vs. non-basic vocabulary, or suggestions as to how to characterize, 
compare and measure the lexical-typological profiles of different languages. 
In fact, some people prefer using the term “typological” (e.g., typological 
properties) for referring to what is considered as the more essential, central, or 
general properties of a language. In this understanding, a large portion of 
cross-linguistic research on words and vocabularies will not count as 
typological (this applies, among others, to what is called “local” lexical-
typological research immediately above). 
Lexical typology consists of following branches: 

 
Lexical typology of words 

 
Word-building typology 

 
Comparative lexicology 

 
Lexical-statistic typology 

 
Lexical typology of borrowings 

 
Lexical typology of phraseology 

 
Lexical typology of proverbs and sayings and etc. 
Types of words and phrases can be studied and compared in these types 
of branches of lexical typology. As an example lexical typology of 
borrowings in English, Russian and Uzbek can be analyzed below:
