Lexicogrammar (or lexico‐grammar) is a level of linguistic structure where lexis, or vocabulary, and grammar, or syntax, combine into one. At this level, words and grammatical structures are not seen as independent, but rather mutually dependent, with one level interfacing with the other. This entry focuses on systemic functional linguistics (SFL) and corpus linguistics (CL), because these two theoretical‐methodological frameworks have close ties to applied linguistics, and in both of them lexicogrammar plays a central role. Lexicogrammar has been studied in various ways, through such notions as collocation, colligation, phraseology, lexical pattern, chunk, lexical bundle, formulaic language, and lexical frame, among others. The separation between lexis and grammar has been one of the cornerstones of linguistic scholarship, being incarnated in the dictionary and grammar, the two main reference points for language study. However, systemic functional linguistics and corpus linguistics, each in its own way, reunite these two levels, and, despite some divergence, advocate the uninterrupted continuity between and/or fusion of lexis and grammar.
