My opinion on why we study English lexicology How many words are there in the modern English language? There is no single sensible answer to this question. It is impossible to count the number of words in a language‚ because it is so hard to decide what counts as a word. But it is widely accepted by linguists that there are one million or so English words now. If so‚ a subject is needed to study and analyze modern English vocabulary. Thus‚ English-lexicological learning is important in some aspects

probably no languages without compounding‚ and in some languages (e.g. Bahasa Melayu) it is the major source of new word formation. Compounds are particularly interesting linguistic constructions for a number of reasons. First‚ they constitute an anomaly among grammatical constructions because they are “words‚” but at the same time exhibit a type of “internal syntax.” Compounds‚ furthermore‚ represent a contact point between several crucial linguistic and non-linguistic notions such as syntagmatic and

Ionic compounds are formed when a metal and a non-metal join together. When sodium metal is dropped into a gas jar of chlorine gas the elements react violently to form a new compound called sodium chloride joined by ionic bonds. To understand how this process works‚ we must grasp an understanding of what an ion is and what an ionic bond is. An ion is an atom that has an electric charge and is created when an atom (or a group) gain or loses electrons. (It has an electric charge due to the imbalance

Carbon and Its Compounds Carbon: Introduction Atomic Number: 6 Electronic Configuration: 2‚ 4. Valence electrons: 4 Property: Non-metal Abundance:- Carbon is the 4th most abundant substance in universe and 15th most abundant substance in the earth’s crust. Compounds having carbon atoms among the components are known as carbon compounds. Previously‚ carbon compounds could only be obtained from a living source; hence they are also known as organic compounds. Bonding In Carbon:- The Covalent

Elements and compounds are a result of the actions of the valence electrons. There are three types of bonds that I have learned about in the bonding comparison lab. These bonds include ionic‚ polar covalent‚ and non-polar covalent. Each of these bonds and the element compounds connected to them has individual solubility‚ conductivity‚ melting point‚ and volatility levels. The three element compounds that will follow are sodium chloride‚ sucrose‚ and p-dichlorobenzene. Sodium chloride is an ionic
