SEMASIOLOGY:
Semasiology - a branch of Lexicology which studies the meaning and the semantic structure of lexical units, primarily of the word.
Seme is an elementary semantic feature, a minimal unit of meaning recoverable through componential analysis of the semantic structure of the word.
Sememe is a set of semes recognizable in in the semantic structure of the given word.
Two main types of word meaning are the grammatical and the lexical meanings can be distinguished in words and word-forms.
The grammatical meaning is the formal meaning of the word and may be defined as the component of meaning recurrent in identical sets of individual forms of different words, as, e.g., the tense meaning in the word-forms of verbs (asked, thought, walked, etc.) or the case meaning in the word-forms of various nouns (girl’s, boy’s, night’s, etc.).
The lexical meaning of the word may be described as the component of meaning proper to the word as a linguistic unit, i.e. recurrent in all the forms of this word and reflecting features and characteristics of objects and phenomena.
