Psychology. There exists a branch of linguistics,psycholinguistics,which studies mental processes through the language, mostly through the vocabulary used by this or that person. But in the process of study, it investigates the language phenomena deeper.
Social history. The vocabulary of a language is never stable. It undergoes numerous changes because of both linguistic factors (processes of word-building, of change and development of meaning, etc.) and extralinguistic factors (new objects and phenomena of life demand new names). Most of all, and in the quickest way, the vocabulary reacts when something new appears in life (for instance, new terms appear: computer, car, sputnik). Thus, lexicology is not only a purely linguistic science, but it is asociolinguistic science at the same time.
Philosophy. Although lexicology is a new science, many lexicological problems were studied long ago in works by ancient Greek philosophers. Aristotle and Plato studied the relationship of the name and the thing which is one of the key questions in gnostic theories and in the struggle of materialistic and idealistic, religious trends of philosophy. i.e. which was at the beginning of everything: matter or the word, information.
