What is "lexical semantics"?
Lexical semantics is the study of how words and their meanings are structured and related within a language. It examines the meanings of individual words, their relationships to one another, and how these meanings can change based on context. Lexical semantics explores concepts such as synonyms, antonyms, hyponyms, and polysemy. This field helps to understand how vocabulary is organized and how people use words to convey specific ideas in different situations.
