[edit] Lexicography vs. Lexicology

Seems from what I can scrape up that Lexicography, the making of dictionaries, uses the study of words and their meanings, Lexicology

[edit] 'Noted lexicologists'?

I'm surprised at the people in the list of noted lexicologists. Surely Johnson, Larousse and Webster were lexicographers, not lexicologists, while Barthes was a specialist in literary criticism and semiotics. Dougg 09:36, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A special term for study of neologisms?

Is there special term for study of neologisms (as a part of lexicology) in English linguistic terminology? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.105.213.130 (talk) 06:58, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Root, suffix, prefix, ending...

Are these parts of a word morphological or lexicological units? Or is there the difference between root (lexicology) (or root (semantics)) and root (morphology)? There is a separate article on word stem too, and it tells that all roots belong to stems but not vice versa and stems sometimes have morphological meaning (as contrasted to roots? Do roots have only lexicological meaning?).
