there are two, somewhat related meanings: 1) if a teacher reprimands a student or a parent scolds a child, he/she may be said to "lecture" the student/child. 2) when a teacher/professor stands at the front of class and talks to the class, telling them information they don't yet know, the teacher/professor is "lecturing" the class.

"Lecture" may function either as a noun (the "talk" given to the student, child, class) or as a verb (the action of giving the "talk")
