Word of the Day: Lexicon
To keep an eye on Europe and to understand what’s going on, we need to learn a new lexicon.
Lexicon refers to the vocabulary of a language, a group of people or the vocabulary of a subject.
If we are going to discuss Great Britain leaving the European Union, we need to learn the vocabulary of that subject.
A new lexicon or vocabulary is developing on a daily basis as the subject of Great Britain’s departure from the EU is discussed.
Even native speakers need to familiarize themselves with this new Brexit lexicon.
