Definition[edit]

Wikipedia has this: "In lexicography, a lexical item (or lexical unit, LU, or lexical entry) is a single word, a part of a word, or a chain of words (catena) that forms the basic elements of a language's lexicon (≈ vocabulary)."

I cannot find any sources so substantiate elements of that definition. Dan Polansky (talk) 17:30, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly I don't understand anything. It looks like en and pt links don't fit this item and this is the reason of the confusion. --Infovarius (talk) 15:18, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

History of the entry[edit]

I basically switched the entry from "lexical item" to FrameNet's "lexical unit". I now realized that was a bad idea since the subject covered by Wikipedias was not FrameNet's lexical unit, and that this will not work with non-English Wikipedia either. In general, what I did was a radical change of a subject, a bad idea. One learns. I am now going to build up the entry from "lexical unit" using the structured definition methodology.
