Whats a lexical type?
A lexical type is a category of lexical items that share certain characteristics. Lexical types are usually defined to include a language’s parts of speaks (aka word category) plus other common structures that the learner wants to focus on like expressions or colloquialisms. In English, the parts of speech are noun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection. In Korean determiners and particles are also included in this list. Although some categories are always disputed for a given language, it’s usually important to know how a word or lexical item is classified in order to use it properly. For example, nouns typically inflect a certain way to form the plural while verbs conjugate based on the subject. Personal Lexicon allows you to define these careerist yourself or you can simply use the built in lexical types.
