Lexicography vs. Lexicology[edit]

Seems from what I can scrape up that Lexicography, the making of dictionaries, uses the study of words and their meanings, Lexicology

'Noted lexicologists'?[edit]

I'm surprised at the people in the list of noted lexicologists. Surely Johnson, Larousse and Webster were lexicographers, not lexicologists, while Barthes was a specialist in literary criticism and semiotics. Dougg 09:36, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A special term for study of neologisms?[edit]

Is there special term for study of neologisms (as a part of lexicology) in English linguistic terminology? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.105.213.130 (talk) 06:58, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Root, suffix, prefix, ending...[edit]

Are these parts of a word morphological or lexicological units? Or is there the difference between root (lexicology) (or root (semantics)) and root (morphology)? There is a separate article on word stem too, and it tells that all roots belong to stems but not vice versa and stems sometimes have morphological meaning (as contrasted to roots? Do roots have only lexicological meaning?).

Surprising Error in This Article[edit]

The article states: "The term [lexicology] first appeared in the 1970s." Perhaps the writer is not aware of a reference work called the Oxford English Dictionary. This work, which is pretty well known and which one would think someone working on an article on Lexicology would consult, documents the term back to 1832. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.132.173.152 (talk) 16:43, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted bibliography[edit]

Hello fellow editors,

I recently made edits throughout this article - in summary, I made the article more concise and reworded existing information, as well as added some new info with plenty more citations. The most significant change I made was removing the Bibliography section; i felt that it was redundant given both a References section and an External links section. But perhaps someone could review the old content and re-add it in the form of citations or further reading(s) if they feel the sources should remain with this article.

Thank you for reviewing my changes! Rosetoval99 (talk) 00:39, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
