This introductory book offers a short but comprehensive treat-ment of lexical semantics. It includes the study of the meaning fulrelationships between words, and the processes, among them metaphor, by which new words and new senses are developed.But it also embraces phraseology, a rapidly expanding area of study; the processes by which complex words (derivatives and compounds) are formed from simple words; and the analysis of words into meaningful components (such as 'adult' and 'non-adult').
