Introduction

The theme of my qualification work sounds as following: “Type of lexical meaning and their function in Modern English” This qualification work can be characterized by the following:Subject matter of this work caused by several important points. We seem to say that the shortening of the words is one of the main trends in development of Modern English, especially in its colloquial layer, which, in its turn at high degree is supported by development of modern informational technologies and simplification of alive speech. So the significance of my course work can be proved by the following reasons:A)Lexical relations are one of the most important semantic relations in exploring the meanings of words in English language.B) They are mainly used to analysis the meanings of words in terms of their relations to each other within sentences.

Chapter one: Major types of lexical meaning

• Word meaning is studied by the branch of lexicology called semasiology. Among the word’s various characteristics meaning is the most important. There are different theories of the nature of meaning. Usually meaning is defined as the realization of a notion (or concept, in other terms) by means of a definite language system. It is usually said that a word denotes objects, qualities, actions, phenomena, or expresses the corresponding notions. The complex relationships between referent (object, etc., denoted by the word), notion (concept, thought) and word (symbol, sound-form) are traditionally represented by the following triangle:The dotted line suggests that there is no immediate relation between word and referent, it is established only through the concept.Word meaning is made up of various components which are usually described as types of meaning. The two main types of meaning are grammatical and lexical meanings.Grammatical meaning unites words into parts of speech. Such words as goes, stops, works have different lexical meanings, but are united by a common grammatical meaning: they are characterized by a common system of forms in which their grammatical categories are expressed.¹
