	XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition
		Constraining the ·value space· consequently constrains the ·lexical space·.
		[Definition:] The ·atomic· or ·union· datatype that participates in the definition of a ·list· datatype is known as the itemType of that ·list· datatype.
		The ·value space· and ·lexical space· of a ·union· datatype are the union of the ·value space·s and ·lexical space·s of its ·memberTypes·.

		The lexical definition of a term, also known as the [dictionary] definition, which is the meaning of the term in common usage.
		Note that a lexical definition is descriptive, reporting actual usage within speakers of a language, and changes with changing usage of the term, rather than prescriptive, which would be to stick with a version regarded as "correct" regardless of drift in accepted meaning.
		When the breadth or vagueness of a lexical definition is unacceptable, a precising definition or a stipulative definition is often used.

		The lexical definition of a term, also known as the dictionary definition, is the meaning of the term in common usage.
		A lexical definition is usually the type expected from a request for definition, and it is generally expected that such a definition will be stated as simply as possible in order to convey information to the widest audience.
		Note that a lexical definition is descriptive, reporting actual usage within speakers of a language, and changes with changing usage of the term, rather than prescriptive, which would be to stick with a version regarded as "correct" regardless of drift in accepted meaning.

	XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes
		[Definition:] In this specification, a datatype is a 3-tuple, consisting of a) a set of distinct values, called its ·value space·, b) a set of lexical representations, called its ·lexical space·, and c) a set of ·facet·s that characterize properties of the ·value space·, individual values or lexical items.
		[Definition:] A canonical lexical representation is a set of literals from among the valid set of literals for a datatype such that there is a one-to-one mapping between literals in the canonical lexical representation and values in the ·value space·.
		The ·lexical space· of a ·list· datatype is a set of literals whose internal structure is a white space separated sequence of literals of the ·atomic· datatype of the items in the ·list· (where whitespace ·match·es S in [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]).

	1.2 Notation
		In lexical definitions (as the example above), two more conventions are used: Two literal characters separated by three dots mean a choice of any single character in the given (inclusive) range of ASCII characters.
		Even though the notation used is almost the same, there is a big difference between the meaning of lexical and syntactic definitions: a lexical definition operates on the individual characters of the input source, while a syntax definition operates on the stream of tokens generated by the lexical analysis.
		All uses of BNF in the next chapter (``Lexical Analysis'') are lexical definitions; uses in subsequent chapters are syntactic definitions.

	definition - definition & synonyms from dictionary.sensagent.com
		A definition delimits or describes the meaning of a concept or term by stating the essential properties of the entities or objects denoted by that concept or term.
		A definition is designed to settle a thing in its compass and extent; an explanation is intended to remove some obscurity or misunderstanding, and is therefore more extended and minute; a description enters into striking particulars with a view to interest or impress by graphic effect.
		An essential definition states what are regarded as the constituent parts of the essence of that which is to be defined; and an accidental definition lays down what are regarded as circumstances belonging to it, viz., properties or accidents, such as causes, effects, etc.” Whately.

	Computational Lexical Semantics - Cambridge University Press
		Research programmes whose goal is the definition of large lexicons are asking what the appropriate representation structure is for different facets of lexical information.
		Computational Lexical Semantics is one of the first volumes to provide models for the creation of various kinds of computerized lexicons for the automatic treatment of natural language, with applications to machine translation, automatic indexing, and database front-ends, knowledge extraction, among other things.

	What is lexical phonology?
		Lexical phonology is an approach to phonology that accounts for the interactions of morphology and phonology in the word building process.
		The bracket erasure convention is an important convention in lexical phonology.
		This derivation demonstrates affixation in lexical phonology accompanied by the application of a phonological rule, trisyllabic shortening.

	Glossary of Parsing Terms
		Context free grammars are grammars wherein the definition of a grammar unit, or nonterminal token, does not depend on the context in which the nonterminal is used.
		In the case of terminal tokens, this may be a value assigned by the lexical scanner or, if the parser is using direct character input, it will be the ascii value of the character itself.
		When the lexical scanner hands this over to the parser, it has to provide an identification code which says what kind of token it is, a hexadecimal constant, as well as the "semantic value" of the token, 3840.

	Definition
		In Roman Catholicism, a "dogmatic definition" by a pope or an ecumenical council.
		It is typical (e.g., in college logic texts) to distinguish a number of different kinds of definition: dictionary or lexical definition[?], intensional definition[?], extensional definition[?], ostensive definition[?], stipulative definition[?], operational definition and others.
		The definition of a concept, or of (a given sense of) a word or phrase, is a description of its intension--that is, the set of properties that characterizes all and only members of the extension of the word; the extension is all the things that the concept, word, or phrase applies to.

		In response to those who look to lexical definitions to solve philosophical controversies, Socrates would say that, simply because certain cultures have used the word ‘rights’ in a way that excludes women and minorities does not mean that women and minorities do not have rights.
		The traditional definition of death in terms of the cessation of all vital functions took death to be an all-or-nothing affair.
		Although Charron believes that lexical definitions are certainly possible, most of what he says about definitions (and, therefore, most of what appears in the rest of this section) is concerned with stipulative definitions.

	Lexical Analysis with ANTLR
		The syntax for specifying lexical structure is the same for lexers, parsers, and tree parsers.
		Suffixing a lexical rule reference with '!' forces the text matched by the invoked rule to be discarded (it will not appear in the text for the invoking rule).
		Lexical analyzers were all built by hand in the early days of compilers until DFAs took over as the scanner implementation of choice.

	AND/IF 1.0 -- a file format for exchanging finite automata descriptions
		Lexical processing decodes the AND/IF text file into a sequence of tokens.
		After tokens are identified by lexical scanning, whitespace characters and comments are discarded.
		A special lexical convention permits finding the beginning of an AND/IF specification that is embedded within a larger text file.

	Free Speaker - LD Debate
		As we have seen, the lexical definition of "retribution" ("deserved punishment") is vague, so you may have good reason to offer a more exact definition.
		For example, in the debate on retribution versus rehabilitation, you might point out that these terms (according to their lexical definitions) do not exhaust the possibilities &endash; that restitution has been left out in the cold.
		For example, a lexical definition of "rehabilitate" is to restore (a person) to a normal life by training.

	Lexical Structure
		Programs are written in Unicode (§3.1), but lexical translations are provided (§3.2) so that Unicode escapes (§3.3) can be used to include any Unicode character using only ASCII characters.
		The Unicode characters resulting from the lexical translations are reduced to a sequence of input elements (§3.5), which are white space (§3.6), comments (§3.7), and tokens.
		The lexical grammar implies that comments do not occur within character literals (§3.10.4) or string literals (§3.10.5).

	Lexical Density Test - Glossary Definition - UsingEnglish.com
		The Lexical Density Test is a Readability Test designed to show how easy or difficult a text is to read.
		The lexical density of a text tries to measure the proportion of the content (lexical) words over the total words.
		As a guide, lexically dense text has a lexical density of around 60-70% and those which are not dense have a lower lexical density measure of around 40-50%.

	What is a lexical category?
		A lexical category is a syntactic category for elements that are part of the lexicon of a language.
		Lexical categories may be defined in terms of core notions or 'prototypes'.
		Grammatical categories are distinct from formal relational categories such as subject, object and predicate, or functional categories such as agent, topic or definite.
