Lexical Entries

Lexical entries are the detailed records stored in a language dictionary for each word. They include information such as the word's spelling, pronunciation, meanings, grammatical properties (like whether it's a noun or verb), and how it can change form. Think of a lexical entry as a comprehensive profile for a word, helping speakers and writers understand how to use it correctly. These entries organize language data systematically, allowing us to access and understand words efficiently, whether for communication, learning, or analysis.
