Description

Lexicology, as a branch of linguistics, focuses on the study of words, 
their meanings, structures, and relationships within a language. While essential for 
understanding linguistic systems and language evolution, lexicology encounters 
several challenges. These include defining the concept of a “word,” addressing 
polysemy and homonymy, managing synonymy and antonymy, understanding word 
formation processes, and adapting to the rapid changes in vocabulary due to societal 
and technological progress. This article explores these problems, highlighting their 
implications for linguistics and practical applications in lexicography, translation, 
and language education
