General considerations

In accordance with the division of language into literary and colloquial ,the vocabulary of English language consists of 3 main layers

• The literary layer
• The neutral layer
• The colloquial layer

Each of them has its own feature

• Literary layer has a bookish character
• The colloquial layer has a spoken character
• The neutral layer is deprived of any coloring which is of universal character and can be used in all styles of language.

Literary layer we distinguish

• Common literary words
• Terms
• Poetic words
• Archaic words
• Barbarisms and foreign words
• neologisms

Neologism terms poetic words archaic words

Neologisms are new words usually appearing as names of new phenomena and thus enriching the vocabulary.

• For ex: baby-moon, man-mode moon , artificial satellite

Terms are words denoting notions special fields of knowledge and easily accepted.

• For.ex:microlinguistics, phoneme,vocalism,amplitude,charge …

Poitec words are used mainly in poetry. They stand between terms and archaic words.

• For.ex: steed(horse), woe(sorrow), to behold(to see)

archaic words which no longer recognizable in MODERN English, were used in Old English have charged in their appearance so much that have become unrecognizable

• For.ex: Troth(faith), a losel(a worthless)

a)Neutral words are the main source of synonymy and polysemy. Most neutral English words are of monosemantic character. B)common L.Words used in writing and polished speech

The following synonyms illustrate the relations that exist between the neutral, literary and colloquial words in the English language. Colloqiual neutral literary kid child infant daddy father parent chap fellow associate teenager boy(girl) youth(maiden)
