The need of this entity and relation to similar entities

edit

An entity like this (word or phrase) seems to be needed. It could be called "phrase", but that is ambiguous, and the phrase "word or phrase" is often used, implying that "phrase" does not automatically include single words.

Similar terms or concepts:

  • phrase in syntactic analysis. This includes single words since, possibly, there is the syntactic rule NP --> N, where NP is a noun phrase and N is a noun, a single word, implying that phrases include single words.
  • phrase, in the narrow sense of at least two words. This is currently phrase (Q187931).
  • expression
  • phraseme. Currently phraseme (Q5551966).

We need to clarify whether this entity/concept should include sentential (full-sentence) phrasal units; using WordNet 3.1 as the authority, it depends on whether "grammatical constituent" includes full-sentence items. --Dan Polansky (talk) 18:39, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
