ABSTRACT
The issue of lexical gaps is one of the major concerns in linguistics. By confining it to one and the same language and redefining a lexical gap as any lexical item which can potentially occupy a reasonable slot but does not do so in reality in a lexical field, this paper conducts an exploration into the devices for their filling with a purpose to highlight the impacts thus arising.
KEYWORDS
