LEXIS
The chapter is about lexis.
Lexis refers to individual words and groups of words that have meaning. This unit
explain us two types of meaning of the words. Firstly, the meaning that
describe meaning or ideas of the word behind of vocabulary item. This meaning
is “denotative” while other is figurative meaning, it is like a superficial
meaning or metaphorical meaning. In lexis we can find the meaning of some
vocabulary meaning from their form and the context that is used. On the
other hand, there are others words that need to add suffixes and prefixes. For example, unpolite, politeness. The
process of adding affixes is called affixation. Beside of it we have other words that regularly
occur together like: collocations
(words that often occur together), idioms and fixed expression and all these are
chunks. Also, we discussed
about the synonyms, antonyms, lexical set, false friends, homophones and homonyms. All these are
part of lexis each word has the relationship between them to make sentences. To
teach it to our pupils we as teachers need to know the context to talk. Maybe,
teacher create the situation to compare two languages. How these two language
situation impact our learning. Also, I can give then flashcards with single
words and they can make a sentences or they can add suffixes or prefixes to the
root of the word. Doing
these activities they can practice about lexis, they can reflect by themselves.
