The summary of capture 2 : Words, sentences, and dictionaries
Word as meaningful building blocks of language
Words are the building block of sentences with a meaning that is
unpredictable may need to look into a dictionary in order to discover it.
Word as types and word as tokens
Example :
mary goes to Edinburgh next week, and she intends going
to Washington next month.
- The same word in that sentence (to and next) are distinct token of a
single word.
- Type-token distinction is relevant to the notion word in this way.
Sentences may be said to be composed of word-tokens, but it is clearly
not word-tokens that are listed in dictionaries.
Words with predictable meanings
Onomatopoeic words are some words whose sound seems to reflect their
meaning fairly directly, such as: miaow, bow-wow, etc.
Dioeciously is an example of word that, although not brand new or it may
even be listed in some dictionaries, chould just as well be brand new so
far as most readers of this book are concerned.
For present purposes, that not every word can be listed in a dictionary,
even in the fullest dictionary imaginable.
Non word with unpredictable meanings
Example :
- I keep notes on all my expenditure.
- I keep tabs on all my expenditure.
Keep notes on and keep tabs as a single unit.
Idiom is a combination of words that have meaning owing to its common
usage.
Idiom are enormously various in length, structure and function.
