A lexical set is a group of words that share the same meaning or function. In linguistics, lexical sets are useful for categorizing words by topic or syntax. John Wells devised lexical sets as a way to identify vowel sounds using groups of words rather than phonetic symbols. Examples include the KIT lexical set containing words like "ship" and "sick" and the DRESS lexical set containing words like "step" and "mess". It is suggested that teaching vocabulary through lexical sets helps students learn and understand word relationships more easily by organizing knowledge into categories.
