LEXIS. A term in especially British
LINGUISTICS for the
VOCABULARY of a language or sub-language, consisting especially of its stock of
LEXEMES. The term became popular because it is unambiguous, unlike
LEXICON, and is GREEK in origin (fitting well with such other terms of Greek origin as
phonology and
syntax), in contrast with Latin-derived
vocabulary (associated with Latinate
pronunciation and Greco-Latin
grammar).
