Preface

This book is based upon a series of lectures on English Lexicology delivered at the Ural State Pedagogical University of Yekaterinburg, Russia.

The theoretical Course in Modern English Lexicology forms a part of the curriculum for the English Departments in Foreign Languages and Linguistic Institutes.

In accordance with the basic aim the Guide incorporates lectures, topics for discussion and exercises that cover the main areas of lexicology. The Course highlights the recent tendencies in the linguistic science; it combines theoretical study and practice.

Each chapter provides a variety of instructional activities that help students evaluate the information they have learned, express their thoughts and analyse the most pressing issues of current lexicology. The book includes a list of terms and concepts.

All these materials are aimed at expanding students’ language knowledge. They enhance theoretical competence, students’ reflective thinking whenever they have a problem to solve, and challenge students to make individual judgements.

It is hoped that this approach will be conducive to a better understanding of the fundamental principles of lexicology, and students will find much of value in this book. We’d appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have for improving this text.

Introduction

It is both a pleasure and a privilege to write the introduction for this exceptional guide. As an American who formerly taught English, I only wish I had access to the wealth of information provided herein. Indeed, students of any age, teachers of English throughout the world, or any person with an interest in language will find this contribution both engaging and informative. This well-written book has a global appeal.

The author has been my friend and professional colleague for over a decade. In this guide she displays an amazing grasp of this branch of linguistics. The accomplishment does not surprise me, however, as Dr. Babich has long been a “citizen of the world”, studying, observing, and writing about her experiences. Readers of many nations will enjoy this book and I recommend it highly.
