lexical field theory

Lexical field theory is a way of analyzing language that groups related words based on their shared meaning or topic. For example, words like "doctor," "nurse," "hospital," and "medicine" all belong to the same lexical field related to healthcare. These groups help us understand how words connect and how language organizes concepts. By studying lexical fields, we can see how different words are used together to convey specific ideas or themes, which aids in understanding language patterns, context, and communication nuances.
