Document Summary
Words are like a coin; there are 2 sides to it that cannot be separated. One side is the word is the form of the word. The other side of the coin is the meaning of the word. The image or concept we have when we say the word. Word: something that links a given form with a given meaning. Words behave in a way that other elements of the mental grammar don"t because words are free. Words are free because they can appear in isolation alone. In ordinary conversation we don"t usually utter just a single word however, there are plenty of causes were a single is acceptable. Each of the single words is perfectly acceptable standing in isolation as an answer to a question. I love to eat soup in the fall. The word soup can appear as the first word, middle or last word in the sentence.
