“The words in a semantic field share a common semantic property. Most often, fields are defined by subject matter, such as body parts, landforms, diseases, colors, foods, or kinship relations…. “Let’s consider some examples of semantic fields….

The lexical approach is a method of teaching foreign languages described by Michael Lewis in the early 1990s. Students are taught to be able to perceive patterns of language (grammar) as well as have meaningful set uses of words at their disposal when they are taught in this way.

Lexical characteristics, such as neighborhood density, word frequency, and word length, are correlated (Storkel, 2009). Investigating these related, yet distinct lexical characteristics could serve to link mechanisms of learning to observed language profiles of children with typical and atypical language development.

The lexical approach is based on the assumption that the most important personality traits are encoded as words in natural languages and that the analysis of the structure of those words may lead to a scientifically acceptable personality model.

Lexical access in speech production proceeds at a rate of, on the average, two to three words per second. At this rate words are selected from a production lexicon which contains thousands, and probably tens of thousands, of words. These words are not only selected, but also phonologically encoded.
