WHAT DOES LEXICALIZATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Lexicalization

Lexicalization is the process of adding words, set phrases, or word patterns to a language – that is, of adding items to a language's lexicon. This may be simple, for example borrowing a word from another language, or more involved, as in loan translation. Particularly interesting from the perspective of historical linguistics is the process by which ad hoc phrases become set in the language, and eventually become new words. Lexicalization contrasts with grammaticalization, and the relationship between the two processes is subject to some debate.
