The lexical processing involves a complex array of mechanisms namely, encoding, search and retrieval, whereas, mental representation is the stored information about a lexicon. The levels of lexical processing is observerd is different from children and adults (Tulving, 1972 and Petrey, 1977).

A lexical chain is a sequence of related words in writing, spanning short (adjacent words or sentences) or long distances (entire text). A chain is independent of the grammatical structure of the text and in effect it is a list of words that captures a portion of the cohesive structure of the text.

The lexical approach is a method of teaching foreign languages described by Michael Lewis in the early 1990s. The basic concept on which this approach rests is the idea that an important part of learning a language consists of being able to understand and produce lexical phrases as chunks.

Lexical meaning includes two components: denotational and connotational. Denotational component is present in every word and makes communication possible. Evaluative connotation expresses positive or negative attitude to the object or phenomenon denoted by the word.

Non lexical fillers are extra words which comes meaninglessly in case of verbal communication. Typical non-lexical fillers in English are: er, erm, um, mm, hm, h-nmm, hh-aaaah, hn-hn, unkay, nyeah, ummum, uuh and um-hm-uh-hm.

Grammatical words include articles, pronouns, and conjunctions. Lexical words include nouns, verbs, and adjectives.

Non-lexical speech sounds (conversational grunts), such as uh-huh, un-hn, mm, and oh, are common in English. In human dialogs these sounds are important in conversation control and for conveying attitudes. Spoken dialog systems may make use of these sounds to achieve concise, smooth, relaxed interactions.

As adjectives the difference between lexical and nonlexical is that lexical is (linguistics) concerning the vocabulary, words or morphemes of a language while nonlexical is not lexical.
