Description - Language and the Lexicon by David Singleton

The lexicon is becoming 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. Thus the lexicon (or vocabulary) and lexical issues must be taken into consideration in every domain of language study, and conversely, the lexicon cannot be viewed in isolation from other aspects of language. This book offers a comprehensive yet accessible overview of lexicology and should prove valuable to readers who need an interdisciplinary approach to the study of language.
