Lexical semantics (also known as lexicosemantics), is a subfield of linguistic semantics. The units of analysis in lexical semantics are lexical units which include not only words but also sub-words or sub-units such as affixes and even compound words and phrases. Lexical units make up the catalogue of words in a language, the lexicon. Lexical semantics looks at how the meaning of the lexical units correlates with the structure of the language or syntax. This is referred to as syntax-semantic interface.
The study of lexical semantics looks at:
Lexical units, also referred to as syntactic atoms, can stand alone such as in the case of root words or parts of compound words or they necessarily attach to other units such as prefixes and suffixes do. The former are called free morphemes and the latter bound morphemes. They fall into a narrow range of meanings (semantic fields) and can combine with each other to generate new meanings.
Quick primer on lexical semantic relations, excerpted from the Linguistics 101 course I teach at the University of Alberta. For more information on this topic, try the following links. (Note that the presentation of ideas is not completely parallel. In particular, Wikipedia links to a more detailed breakdown of different types of antonyms, and the slideshare link defines homophones in a somewhat different way.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexical_semantics http://www.slideshare.net/honeyravian1/lexical-relations

This E-Lecture discusses and exemplifies the phenomenon of ambiguity, ranging from lexical to pragmatic. And as usual, Prof. Handke uses numerous examples to illustrate this ubiquous property of natural language expressions.

Once upon a time there were two words who had a horrible argument. Human intervention was necessary to calm them both down. In this documentary, an authority on the matter is interviewed about the circumstances that lead to this escalation. www.ingemarleen.com www.ingemarleenbooks.com
