lexikalischen

Lexikalischen is the inflected form of the German adjective lexikalisch, meaning related to the lexicon or to vocabulary. The term is used in linguistics, lexicography, language teaching and related fields to describe aspects that pertain to words, their meanings, and their organization in a lexicon. The root lexikal- comes from Greek lexis, meaning word or speech, and is linked to the noun Lexikon (lexicon) or Lexem (lexeme) in linguistic terminology.

In German grammar, adjectives are declined to reflect case, gender, and number, and lexikalisch appears in its inflected forms such as lexikalischen or lexikalische depending on context. For example: die lexikalischen Einträge (nominative plural with definite article), mit dem lexikalischen Begriff (dative singular masculine), der lexikalischen Bedeutung (genitive singular feminine). These forms illustrate how the ending -en or -e is used after definite articles in different cases or genders.

Usage and scope include descriptions of lexical items, lexical semantics, and lexical relations within a language. Analysts may speak of lexical meaning, lexical fields, or lexicon-related phenomena as opposed to purely syntactic or morphological aspects. The term is common in discussions of vocabulary, word formation, and dictionary entries.

Related concepts and terms include Lexikon, Lexem, Lexikografie and Lexikalische Semantik. While lexikalisch itself refers broadly to vocabulary, the specific form lexikalischen appears as the attributive or predicative adjective in various grammatical contexts, serving to modify a noun within discussions of words and their properties.
