LEXICAL ITEM

The 'lexical items' in a language are both the single words (vocabulary) and sets of words organized into groups, units or "chunks". Some examples of lexical items from English are "''cat''", "''traffic light''", "''take care of''", "''by the way''", and "''don't count your chickens before they hatch''".
The entire store of lexical items in a language is called its lexis.
