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

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
