4. • Lexicon: our mental dictionary of all the words we know
• Lexicographers aim to create written records of our lexicons
(dictionaries)
-Dictionaries describe the spelling (orthography), standard
pronunciation, definitions of meaning, and parts of speech of each
word
-They may also prescribe language use
-Our own mental dictionaries probably include only a small set of
the entries in all of these dictionaries, but each word is in
someone’s lexicon.
