What a mess[edit]
OK, so a lot of interwikis point to lexicon (Q8096), assuming it means the same thing based on the form of the word
The root is Modern Latin lexicon, from Ancient Greek "λεξικόν (βιβλίον)", lexicon (biblion), that is "(a library, or book) concerning words", meaning in the Latin, basically: "dictionary".
The meaning has extended to, in linguistics, every lexeme in a language, and from a dictionary to an alphabetical reference work, encyclopedic dictionary, or an encyclopedia (usually a single-subject encyclopedia).
So, here are the concepts which are confused here:
1. (linguistics) the total of lexically significant items in a language:
- be-x-old:Лексыка
- be:Лексіка
- en:Lexicon
- eo:Leksiko
- es:Léxico
- eu:Lexiko (probably, it at least seems to talk about computational linguistics a bit)
- fr:Lexique
- gl:Lexicón
- hi:शब्दसंग्रह
- id:Leksikon
- io:Lexiko
- it:Lessico
- ja:語彙目録 (tentatively, it seems like it may be a mixture of concepts)
- lt:Leksika
- mhr:Мутвундо (most likely, at least it links to the linguistics article)
- nn:Ordforråd. (nn:Leksikon is sense 3 and points to encyclopedia (Q5292), although nn.wiki uses the more general oppslagsverk (reference work) to describe itself)
- pt:Léxico
- sco:Lexicon
- tt:Лексика (seemingly)
- uk:Лексика
- uz:Leksika
2. the subset of vocabulary used the majority of the time in a language, essentially the "minimal word set", or "core vocabulary", closed classes, or concepts common to all people:
3. an alphabetical reference work, either general or specific to a subject. this usage has somewhat fallen out of favour in English, although in any old library you will see large, multivolume works purporting to be "FOOBAR'S LEXICON OF X" where X is horticulture, angling, etc. Leads to the extended sense in English "jargon of a particular subject".
- da:Leksikon
- de:Lexicon (not linked here)
- he:לקסיקון
- hr:Leksikon
- lb:Lexikon
- no:Leksikon
- sh:Leksikon
- sl:Leksikon
1 and 3 together:
1 and 2 and ?:
4. disambiguation page:
5. ???????, hopefully one of the above
So what?[edit]
- 1. is still here, lexicon (Q8096)
- 2. is at core vocabulary (Q18156576)
- 3. is at lexicon (Q18168594) in opposition to encyclopedic dictionary (Q975413) (at least sh and hr have separate articles, though I suspect they are the same thing)
- 5. will just have to stay here because I can't read it
Everything else is a mixture of concepts and was sent to Lexicon (Q405381) to think about what it has done. Moogsi (talk) 14:12, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
