Document Summary
Word - minimal unit of meaningful speech that can stand alone. Mental representation of a statistical regularity in our experience. Provide us with expectations, guide our response to new instances of those objects or events. Adjectives describe the properties of objects (or our perceptual experience of them) Called open class because new words are constantly added, old words fade from use. Determiners (the, a, some) link nouns with referents. Conjunctions (and, but, because) combine phrases and sentences into larger units. Lemma is the most basic form of a word and lexeme is a set of all forms a word can take. E. g. , run is a lemma for the lexeme that includes run, runs, ran, and running. Syllable is a rhythmic unit of speech (e. g. , po-lo contains two syllables) It can be analyzed in terms of onset and rime (or rhyme) Match onsets to alliterate: the bold and the beautiful, then and there.
