To find the meaning of an unknown word, you must look up its lexical, grammatical and contextual meaning.

What are the different types of meaning?

  • The lexical meaning of the word refers to the literal meaning of the word. This can be found using a dictionary.

  • The grammatical meaning of a word is the meaning that the word assumes based on the position it has within a sentence. The grammatical meaning defines the function of the verb in a sentence.
  • For example- Consider the two sentences
  1. She brushed her tangled hair. - Here ‘brush’ is a verb.
  2. She gave her tangled hair a brush- Here ‘brush’ is a noun.

  • The contextual meaning of a word is the meaning of a word with respect to all the other words in a sentence. One word may have multiple meanings depending on the situation they are used in.
  • For example- Consider the word ‘bark’ in these sentences
  1. This dog has a very loud bark. - Here ‘bark’ refers to the sound the dog makes.
  2. This tree has rough bark. - Here ‘bark’ refers to the trunk of the tree.
