lexical
Language: English
Part of speech: adj
Pronunciation: enpr: lĕ'ksĭkəl
ipa: /ˈlɛksɪkəl/
Etymology: From Latin lexis, from Ancient Greek λέξις (léxis, “word”) + -al.
Senses: examples: text: So, it seems clear that the idiosyncratic restrictions relating to the range of
 complements which a Preposition does or does not permit are directly analo-
 gous to the parallel restrictions which hold in the case of Verbs. The restric-
tions concerned are not categorial in nature (i.e. they are not associated with
 every single item belonging to a given category): on the contrary, they are
 lexical in nature (that is to say, they are properties of individual lexical items,
 so that different words belonging to the same category permit a different range
 of complements).
