What's the difference between lexical and lexicography?

Lexical


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or pertaining to a lexicon, to lexicography, or words; according or conforming to a lexicon.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The postulated deficit is contrasted to the hypothesis of impairment to the lexical-semantic component, required to explain performance by brain-damaged subjects described elsewhere who make seemingly identical types of oral production errors to those of RGB and HW, but, in addition, make comparable errors in writing and comprehension tasks.
  • (2) Subjects read text passages and occasionally responded to lexical-decision probes.
  • (3) Results are interpreted in light of current models of lexical and sentence production.
  • (4) The influence of morphemic relationships on the repetition priming effect, which is presumed to provide an index of lexical organization, was examined in several experiments.
  • (5) Target discrimination accuracy was inversely related to the phonological complexity of strings containing targets in Experiment 3, supposedly because lexical access through which target discrimination is enhanced becomes more difficult as phonological complexity increases.
  • (6) These findings suggest that cognitive variables mediate right visual field advantages to lexical decisions in males and females.
  • (7) College-aged subjects typically show a brief rise time (300-500 msec) for lexical access.
  • (8) Parents unknowingly adjust the structure and dynamics of speech to the constraints of infant capacities, detach prosodic musicality from lexical structure, and use it in particularly expressive forms for the delivery of the first prototypical messages.
  • (9) Broca's aphasia is characterized by disorders on the phonemic, syntactic and lexical level of linguistic description.
  • (10) Two lexical decision experiments compared semantic and repetition priming by masked words.
  • (11) The results of Analysis 2, based on response latencies from 6 lexical tasks other than lexical decision, revealed a virtually identical linear relationship.
  • (12) The objective is to comment on some plausible mutual implications of generally attested pathologies and normal models of lexical retrieval for production, particularly with respect to the roles of semantic and syntactic categories.
  • (13) In a naming task, no differences were found between the two types of novel compounds, but lexicalized compounds resulted in shorter latencies than did novel compounds.
  • (14) We built a depressive word-list (Mood-list) and a neutral word-list (Neutral-list) and used a computer for the lexical-decision task.
  • (15) The present study investigated these inconsistencies by manipulating nonword foil lexicality (i.e., the similarity of nonword foils to words), semantic priming, and word frequency in two lexical decision experiments.
  • (16) In addition to words drawn from the relevant lexical domains, nonsense words and words from inappropriate syntactic categories also were presented to the patients.
  • (17) The form in which phonological information is stored in the lexical entries of young children, and how this form changes over time, are questions which are difficult to address, given the limitations of current methodologies.
  • (18) Schuberth and Eimas (1977) reported that semantic priming and frequency have additive effects on RTs in lexical decision tasks, whereas Becker (1979) reported that the same two factors interact.
  • (19) These data suggest that the problems agrammatic subjects show with verbs in sentence comprehension, and the general lexical access deficit also recently claimed to be part of the agrammatics' problem, may not extend to the real-time processing of verbs and their arguments.
  • (20) This article addresses the questions of how and when lexical information influences phoneme identification in a series of phoneme-monitoring experiments in which conflicting predictions of autonomous and interactive models were evaluated.

Lexicography


Definition:

  • (n.) The art, process, or occupation of making a lexicon or dictionary; the principles which are applied in making dictionaries.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) It is dangerous, to pinch an ugly word from trade union lexicography, for its "automaticity", the almost involuntary expectation that university is the right option simply because it's available.
