New lexica are created in the LEXUS workspace. In the left frame Lexica tab click the + icon. This will open a new window, where you need to specify the name of the new lexicon, may give a description to it and add any other necessary comments in the Note field (Figure 2.1). Once you have clicked Save the lexicon will appear in the My Lexica list. The icon in front of the lexicon indicates that it is a new lexicon: no structure or content has been defined yet.

In case you would like to remove any of the lexica from your workspace, you can select it in the list in the left frame Lexica tab and click the - icon. If you remove a large lexicon, it can take a while until the lexicon is really removed. While LEXUS is in the porcess of removing the lexicon, the lexicon still appears in the lexicon list in the workspace, but with a different icon (the blue book held by a hand).
