The branch of lexicology devoted to the study of meaning is called
semasiology. Meaning is a
realization of a notion or a motion by means of definite language system. The modern approach
to
semasiology is based on the assumption that the inner form of the
word presents a structure
which is called the semantic structure of the
word. ... Comparing the contexts in which
we
find these
words we cannot fail to observe that they occupy different positions in relation to
other
words. (To) move, e.g., can be followed by a noun (move the chair), preceded by a
pronoun (we move), etc. .
* Spoken English shows great variation across regions where it is the predominant language. For
example, the United Kingdom has the largest variation of
accents of any country in the world,
and therefore no single "British
accent" exists. This article provides an overview of the numerous
identifiable variations in pronunciation; such distinctions usually derive from the phonetic
inventory of local dialects, as well as from broader differences in the Standard English of different
primary-speaking,.

Lexicography is the theory and practice of compiling dictionaries, is an important
branch of applied linguistics.The term dictionary is used to denote a book listing words of
a language with their meanings and often with data regarding pronunciation, usage and/or
origin.
According to the language used
they can be:
1) unilingual (monolingual) - dictionaries in which the words and their definitions belong to
the same language
2) bilingual or translation dictionaries are those that explain words by giving their equivalents
in another language.
3) multilingual or polyglot dictionaries are not numerous, they serve chiefly the purpose of
comparing synonyms and terminology in various languages
