lexicon
Significado: The complete set of words and expressions in a language, or the vocabulary particular to a person, profession, or field of knowledge.
In linguistics, the lexicon is the mental dictionary that speakers carry, containing all the words they know along with their meanings, pronunciations, and grammatical properties. It can also refer to a published dictionary or word list, particularly for ancient or specialised languages. The adjective form 'lexical' is commonly used in academic writing.
