However, a study of this kind may deal with the words and vocabularies irrespective of a particular language. In this case this theory shall be named general lexicology. Special lexicology devotes its attention to the words and vocabulary of some given language: as an example there is modern English lexicology. Historical lexicology, sometimes also called etymology or etymological theory, is a separate branch of linguistics, which studies the origin of different words and the ways in which the semantic structure of such words changes in the course of time. Descriptive lexicology deals with the vocabulary of the given language at a given stage of its development. Descriptive lexicology is also named synchronic lexicology.
Although clichés should be avoided, they nevertheless play a very important role in everyday communication and in different types of speech. Some types of communication are highly clichéd by their nature, e.g. scientific literature and documentation, and are highly formalized. On the other hand, such informal communication types as colloquial speech and fiction are also abundant in clichés used in principally different purposes, e.g. for the creation of humorous effect.
