Lexicology studies the vocabulary of a language, including collocations and the internal structure of the lexicon. Mark the CORRECT alternative.


A

A semantic field refers to a group of words that share the same phonetic origin, regardless of whether their meanings are related to a specific topic like "medicine" or "sports".


B

False cognates (false friends) are words that share a similar spelling and the same semantic meaning in two languages, facilitating the direct translation process for beginners.


C

Homonyms are words that have exactly the same meaning in all contexts but are spelled differently, acting as perfect synonyms to increase the stylistic variety of a text.


D

Collocations are conventional word combinations that sound natural to native speakers, such as "make a mistake" or "do homework", where substituting a synonym would sound idiomatically awkward.
