Lexis
Lexis in ancient Greek meant the manner in which you said something, the style if you like, contrary to logos which meant the content of what you said or the reality.

Context: Lexicography, operating at the level of lexis, involves the least
degree of abstraction away from the text and therefore incurs the least accompanying
loss of meaning.
