reference to the statement:"In linguistics a word is the smallest element that may be uttered in isolation with semantic or pragmatic content (with literal or practical meaning)." I have so many problems with this. In no particular order: it conflates the "as utterance" meaning with the "linguistic meaning", the distinction it makes is not useful in that its "meaning" in isolation may not be its meaning in context, "element" is not defined and its use here is tautological (if words aren't identified, 'elements' won't be, either). I see absolutely NO reason to include both the difficult phrase "with semantic or pragmatic content" and the more intuitive phrase "with literal or practical meaning". I also fail to understand what "practical meaning" (or "pragmatic content") MEANS. I doubt if you can produce an authoratative DEFINITION of either of those terms. Moving on... The first examples are lousy. They are all single syllable English words!! Why not include "a"? (perhaps because as an article it fails to have a meaning uttered in isolation? (What does "a" mean?)) Why not include "abnormalities"? why not include "aminoazomethyphenylalanine"? And how is that definition useful to determine whether or not "km" is a word or an abbreviation (is an abbreviation a word?, Is "1" a word? Is the utterance "letmebe" a word? one or three?) And (perhaps I'm just ignornat here) doesn't the use of "morpheme" to describe single syllable words confuse rather than inform? Why focus on the difference between morphemes and words when there are several equally valid ways to categorize the term "word"? And how can anyone justify the use of the weasle phrases "not necessarily", "may not be able", and "will typically" (the word "may" is used 4 times in the lede, does it mean "might" or "shall"?) The lede's last paragraph is the clearest and most useful, imho. (Although it could use improvement, too.) By jumping immediately into the "linguistic" use, the editors SHOULD understand that they have gone to an ABSTRACTION, not a "pragmatic" definition (as it true with most if not all technical definitions). Oh, not only are abbreviations ignored here but so too are nonsense words WITHOUT semantic content, is "mlaxup", which I just invented, a word? Seems to me the fundamental meaning of "word" is either an element of an utterance (in some languages) OR a linguistic element. I doubt if either can be claimed to be a "fundamental" (or "indivisible") element in any absolute sense (in most languages both are composed of smaller elements in audible and visual presentation.) (which brings up sign language and braille...). So, could someone who knows what they're talking about rewrite the lede to make it sensible to a general reader and so that it corresponds to the actual definition(s) of "word"? Thanks. (Also, do a better job in the examples of words, clauses, phrases and sentences. A phrase shouldn't also be a clause, a clause shouldn't also be a sentence; the goal here is to distinguish them! )

mere poorly written explanation. Many things in the sciences resist dirt-simple mutually exclusive definitions—even exclusive definitions that we can manage to distill to one line are more often than not subtly clever for having pulled it off. For example, "not necessarily" and "may not be able" are simply correct: some morphemes can also be words (for example, the indefinite articles "a", "an"), but many are not (for example, -y, -ness). This is already explained with examples right there where it's stated. Regarding the last point, all clauses are also phrases, many clauses are also sentences, and many sentences are also clauses. Sometimes

just like Korean has suffixes that have no meaning on their own. Now, there are some features that can distinguish a few (though not not close to all) breaks in Japanese words (which I believe are primarily due to /n/ at the end of a word becoming ), but assuming one picks an agglutinative language that lacks such things, or at least have so few of them such methods aren't usable (of which I am sure there are plenty), what differentiates it from analytic Chinese (which I have seen written in what appears to be agglutinative fashion akin to Korean and Japanese, such as

rather either by morpheme or not at all with neither being consistent, such as in "disable" /dis.eɪ.bɫ̩/ and "whatcha" /ʍʌ.t͡ʃə/), so that can't be used unless you want to make almost every morpheme a separate word. And people can say "un" on its own in correcting someone (albeit rarely), just like they can say "the" on its own to correct someone (which is not quite as rare, but still far from common, as one usually will add the word that follows).

'Word' and 'lexical item' are often used interchangeably. For some, it's important to stress the distinction between the two; if 'word' is indeed the end node of the syntactic tree and 'lexeme' is the item that is stored in memory, the two don't have to be identical. 1793:
Not really. A word is a sequence of sounds, not an idea. Not all words even represent ideas. I'm also a little confused by your use of the terms "compound sound", "language science", and "pure language", and the focus on alphabets and ideograms is a little odd, considering that there are other common

The word "desinence" is defined in the Wictionary as a technical term from linguistics. The word "suffix" is the standard word used in United States of America in teaching school children.

English word is directly from Old English word, and has cognates in all branches of Germanic (Old High German wort, Old Norse orð, Gothic waurd), deriving from Proto-Germanic *wurđa, continuing a virtual PIE *wr̥dhom.

The definition of word described in the article pertains to the concept of a word only as written (in that it talks about separating words by spaces, for example). It completely disregards the fact that language is verbal in nature. That is to say, it seems to suggest that words can't exist without a

The section on word boundaries doesn't really explain why in Chinese, the words are considered to be isolated instances, while in say, Japanese, the words are considered to be a hodgepodge of morphemes combined into one unit.

The beginning of the article is very odd; it waxes philosophical and says some basically untrue things: "Words are fundamental units of inherent quality or basic constitution of things." The word "the" doesn't have much inherent quality; or if it does, then only about as much as prefixes like "con-"

It depends of course on one's definition of 'infix', which in your case is a very strict one. However, 'affixation' (just like its children suffixation, prefixation and infixation) is commonly used in a very general way, just to express something being put before, after or inside something else.

Another REALLY bad Knowledge article, imho. If it is about the linguistic term, instead of starting off the lede with "In linguistics ..." why not start with "Applied to language ..." (or eqivalent)? SHOULD the general reader be expected to know what "linguistics" is? I also demand an authoratative

Is this really a necessary sentence? It's so wishy washy: "All in all ..." also it's not so much "a word" that allows us to "communicate with others AND interact with the rest of the world" (aren't communicating and interacting the same thing in this context as well?), but language itself, of which

Name a word that does not have an idea connected to it. It would be a sound and not a word. It could be written in transcription form, but its either a word or a transcription of a sound. And sounds that don't have a specific assigned meaning will usually have some meaning in the way that they are

What about English, which has lost a lot of its inflections to become predominantly analytic? Why is "will have done" said to be three words, even though "will" and "have" both lack meaning on their own? Is it solely orthography in such a case? The sandhi in English isn't constrained by word (but

There is more margin in the definition of lexeme. If the lexeme is to be a psychologically realistic entity, why would one want to confine it to grammatical words? What about idioms like 'hit the road' and 'kick the bucket'? Surely they are stored in memory, and I think those are good examples of

As a somewhat syntax-impaired phonologist, I don't really understand the difference between 'word' as the end node of the tree and 'lexeme' as the item stored in memory. Don't you just take the word you have stored in memory and plug it into the syntactic tree? Can you give an example of a lexeme

Does the definition of portmanteau really need to be in the first paragraph of this page? I see its relevance here, but I've been feeling like "partmanteau" is a buzzword here on wikipedia just used for the sake of using it, and many times inappropriately. I'd like to see it moved to the body

A word is an idea in the head with a sound label that comes out of the mouth. Other definitions may talk about the difference between a word and a term, or draw from language science and talk about its irreducible form, in pure language (not human speech) but is probably talking about lexemes.

I got rid of the part in the article where it gave "absobloominlutely" as an example of a word with an infix. An infix is a grammatical unit like a prefix or suffix except it comes in the middle of a word. There aren't really any of them in the English language. "fan-freakin'-tastic" equals

it is common to speak of the 'affixation' of something reduplicated to the base morpheme — this can be a whole word in the case of full reduplication, or (in cases of partial reduplication) only part of a word. I guess one could use 'infixation' in the same, loose way (loose as opposed to the

Yes, it does. And I now that I know the difference (I did before, actually, I just thought of it in different terms), I would definitely want my definition of "morphological word" to be X°, not lexeme, as I would not want to say that "kick the bucket" is a word, but I would want to say that
