Lexis

What is Lexis?


1.

Lexis refers to word use. Lexicology is literally the study of words.

"Good", "sunny", "elated", "jolly" could all be said to be under a positive lexis, where as

"Death", "confrontation", "rain", "depressed" are all a negative lexis

It can often be used to infer people's demeanour. Although people don't necessarily say how they feel, they're choice of words can be revealing.

"I don't care how fine he says he is, he's been talking with a negative lexis"

"Her lexis is awfully flirty"
