12
Definition
Pronunciation: //ˈlɛksɪs//
noun
- (linguistics) The set of all words and phrases in a language; any unified subset of words from a particular language."Thus, alongside current lexis, words and senses now obsolete find a place in a dictionary on historical principles."
- (pedagogy, TEFL) Words, collocations, and common phrases in a language; vocabulary and word combinations."By the 1980s, English language teachers generally had begun to realize that there had been a neglect of lexis in teaching methods and coursebooks. […] The basic truth that without vocabulary or lexis we can't express anything had to be restated and a new approach to teaching lexis was needed."
