Linguists who study the lexicon, study such things as:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
what constitutes a word;
the word-concept relationship;
lexical access
and lexical access failure;
how a word's phonology, syntax, and meaning intersect;
the morphology-word
relationship;
vocabulary structure within a given language;
language use (that is, pragmatics);
language acquisition;
the history and evolution of words (i.e. etymology); and
the relationships between words, often studied within philosophy
of language.
In psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, and computational
linguistics, researchers have proposed various models of how the lexicon is organized and how words are retrieved.
