Abstract: For a Hausdorff topologized semilattice $X$ its $Lawson;;number$ $$ is the smallest cardinal $kappa$ such that for any distinct points $x,yinX$ there exists a family $mathcalU$ of closed neighborhoods of $x$ in $X$ such that $|mathcalU|lekappa$ and $$ is a subsemilattice of $X$ that does not contain $y$. It follows that $$, where $$ is the smallest cardinal $kappa$ such that for any point $xinX$ there exists a family $mathcalU$ of closed neighborhoods of $x$ in $X$ such that $|mathcalU|lekappa$ and $$. We prove that a compact Hausdorff semitopological semilattice $X$ is Lawson (i.e., has a base of the topology consisting of subsemilattices) if and only if $$. Each Hausdorff topological semilattice $X$ has Lawson number $$. On the other hand, for any infinite cardinal $lambda$ we construct a Hausdorff zero-dimensional semitopological semilattice $X$ such that $|X|=lambda$ and $$. A topologized semilattice $X$ is called (i) $omega$-$Lawson$ if $$; (ii) $complete$ if each non-empty chain $CsubsetX$ has $infCinoverlineC$ and $supCinoverlineC$. We prove that for any complete subsemilattice $X$ of an $omega$-Lawson semitopological semilattice $Y$, the partial order $l{e}_X=(x,y)inXimesX:xy=x$ of $X$ is closed in $YimesY$ and hence $X$ is closed in $Y$. This implies that for any continuous homomorphism $h:XoY$ from a compete topologized semilattice $X$ to an $omega$-Lawson semitopological semilattice $Y$ the image $h(X)$ is closed in $Y$.
