CURRENT ENGLISH NORMS AND ISSUES RELATED TO THEM

Abstract

The current stage of linguistic development is undoubtedly the
era of studying the meaning of words. One of the main issues in the field of linguistics
arises from the fact that human language, in its primary function, serves as a tool for
communication, encoding, and disclosing certain information. The gradual
development of this thesis has led to the acknowledgment that linguistics, including
semantics—a discipline that focuses on lexical meaning—has unfortunately been
overshadowed by grammatical content due to frequent misunderstandings. It is no
coincidence that lexical-semantic dictionaries have become an essential part of
describing language. Moreover, theoretical dictionaries that provide comprehensive
semantic definitions of linguistic units serve as a basis for defining linguistic concepts
with precision, which are foundational for the semantic harmony and distinctions of
language objects.
