Lexical Gap translation help!


I'm writing a speech in Japanese about the difference between languages and
I've been trying to figure out the correct way to say "lexical gap" in
Japanese. Any ideas?




It would usually be 「語彙的欠落{ごいてきけつらく}」、「語彙の欠落」、「語彙欠落」, etc.

In linguistics within the Japanese-speakng world, however, many technical
terms are often written both in English and Japanese. This is true of the
**_newer_** fields of study such as linguistics, computer science, psychology,
etc.

Thus, I might suggest that you consider wording such as 「語彙的欠落 (lexical gap)」,
「語彙的欠落 (英語では"lexical gap")」」, etc.
