Lexical Analysis: A Window into Language Universals and Individual Variation

Abstract

This paper explores lexicology, analysing how the study of words enhances comprehension of language's essence. The research examines a deficiency in the comprehension of language universals, particularly the relationship between general lexicology and specialised lexicology. The study utilised a comparative review of existing linguistic research on general and specialised lexicology, concentrating on the identification of commonalities and distinctive traits among languages. The findings indicate that although language universals are present, especially in word creation and semantic organisation, individual languages have distinct differences in vocabulary, idioms, and stylistic characteristics. These findings underscore the necessity of examining both the universal and particular elements of lexicology to achieve a thorough comprehension of language functionality and evolution. This research has ramifications for language acquisition, translation studies, and the advancement of artificial intelligence systems proficient in processing and creating natural language. Additional study is required to investigate the specific mechanisms influencing individual language variance and to create more sophisticated models of language universals that consider both similarities and variations among linguistic systems.
