LANGUAGE AND THE LEXICON: An Introduction
David Singleton, Trinity College

(An Arnold Publication)

The lexicon is becoming an increasingly popular area of investigation
within linguistics and language studies. Language is popularly
conceived of in terms of words, and words are also integral to the way
in which linguists have traditionally approached language as an object
of study. This volume is the first to provide a comprehensive yet
accessible overview of lexicology and will prove invaluable to the
growing number of students of lexicology who need an interdisciplinary
approach to the study of language.
