Explanation:
Asker, first off welcome to Kudoz. But let me say that you really need to realise that you have to give some context if you want us to help you properly...who/what/where/why/how!

As it stands your question can only be answered as

adding vocabulary. This vocabulary could be newly-coied words or just ecxtra words to expalin a meaning. For example,
when translating from English to another language it may be necessary to add additional words so the meaning is not lost.

agree  Lauren Pronger: Agree. A 'lexicon' is a dictionary, a collection of words and their definitions/usage. Adding a word to a lexicon just means that it's being added to the standard set of words in whatever you're dealing with (like a glossary).
