What is word? a. Word is the smallest meaningful unit in the language which can be used independently.(戚雨村 1999) b. Word is the unit that unifies the sound sense and grammar. It is the basic structural unit of a sentence. (陆国强,1983) c. Word is a unit of expression that has universal intuitive recognition by native speakers whether it s expressed in spoken or written form.(胡壮麟)

a. Word is the smallest meaningful unit in the language which can be used independently. (戚雨村， 1999) b. Word is the unit that unifies the sound, sense and grammar. It is the basic structural unit of a sentence. (陆国强，1983) c. Word is a unit of expression that has universal intuitive recognition by native speakers, whether it is expressed in spoken or written form. (胡壮麟) What is Word?

What is word? I Every word has a fixed sound form and a certain meaning. In other words, a word has two aspects: the external aspect(sound), the internal aspect (meaning). I A word is a unity of sound and meaning I a word is a fundamental structure unit of a sentence I The relation between the meaning of a word and its sound is arbitrary or conventional

What is Word? WORD is a unit of expression that has universal intuitive recognition by native-speakers, whether it is expressed in spoken or written form. This definition is, perhaps, a bit vague, as there are different criteria with regard to its identification and definition. It follows that it is hard to define “word” in the scientific sense. Nevertheless, it is agreed that three senses are involved in defining “word
