What is "lexical typology"?
Lexical typology is the study of how different languages categorize and structure their vocabulary. This field examines the ways languages organize words and concepts, such as how they classify objects, actions, and qualities. Lexical typologists analyze features like word formation, semantic fields, and the use of synonyms and antonyms to identify patterns and differences across languages. This research helps to understand how language reflects cultural and cognitive perspectives, providing insights into the diversity of human experience and expression through vocabulary.
