2.Motivation accounts for the connection between the linguistic symbol and its meaning.Most words can said to be non-motivated.That is,the connection of the sign and meaning does not have logical connection explanation.Neverthelss,English does have words whose meanings can be explained to a certain extent.

1. Homonyms refer to different words which happen to share the same form and polysemy refer to the fact that the same word has several distinguishable meanings. By seeing their etymology, we can distinguish them, i. e. homonyms are from different sources while a polysemy is from the same source which has acquired different meanings in the course of development. The second principal consideration is semantic relatedness. The various meaning of a polysemy are correlated and connected to do with one another. Additionally, in dictionary, a polysemy has its meanings all listed under one headword whereas homonyms are listed as separate entries.

2.Three periods in the development of English language (vocabulary)

1)Old English or Anglo-Saxon period (449-1100)

1 Much of the old English vocabulary was borrowed from Latin 如bargain, cheap, inch, pound; cup, dish, wall, wine, etc

2 Old English was a highly inflected language. It has a complete system of declensions of words

2)Middle English period ( 1100-1500 )

1 French influence and Norman Conquest in 1066

Law and government administration: Military affairs、Religion、Art

2 Middle English is becoming from highly inflected language to analytic language

3)Modern English period (1500-)

1 Influence of Renaissance Latin and Greek words

2 Science and abstract ideas

3 Literary, technical and scientific words

4 The Late Modern English (between1700-the Present).

3.

1.Antonyms are classified on the basis of semantic opposition.

2. A word which has more than one meaning can have more than one antonym.

3. Antonyms differ in semantic inclusion. Pairs of antonyms are seen as marked and unmarked terms respectively.

4.Contrary terms are gradable antonyms, differing in degree of intensity, so each has its own corresponding opposite.
