Lexical relations are one of the most important semantic relations in exploring the meanings of words in English language. They are mainly used to analysis the meanings of words in terms of their relations to each other within sentences. Those relations vary according to the kind of the relation that a word may have with another word or words. The current study aims at investigating this level of language by illustrating what lexical relations are and how they are manifested in language. In addition, the paper surveys the most important and the most basic kinds of lexical relations. Finally, it discusses in detail the importance of lexical relations in language use being an important linguistic source in the analysis, understanding and use of language.
