意味（1）

(linguistics) Concerning the vocabulary, words, sentences or morphemes of a language

So, it seems clear that the idiosyncratic restrictions relating to the range of

complements which a Preposition does or does not permit are directly analo-

gous to the parallel restrictions which hold in the case of Verbs. The restric-

tions concerned are not categorial in nature (i.e. they are not associated with

every single item belonging to a given category): on the contrary, they are

lexical in nature (that is to say, they are properties of individual lexical items,

so that different words belonging to the same category permit a different range

of complements).

意味（2）

(linguistics) Concerning lexicography or a lexicon or dictionary

意味（3）

(linguistics) Denoting a content word as opposed to a function word

a lexical verb
