1.       What we discuss about the meaning of words as individual morphemes so far is called lexical semantics. It studies all aspects of meaning of words as isolated morphemes and as related to certain structures like a phrase or sentence.

2.       There afre some factors that decide meanings of words which are not purely linguistic. They are for instance commonsense and thought. This initiates the study of syntax. As a preliminary study think of this question: Does a sentence pattern decide meaning or meaning decide a sentence pattern?

3.       Your answers are not the main points but your comprehensions.

4.       Life is short. Get happiness from thinking. Smile.
