		The sentence issued by the Appeal court of highest admitted degree immediately becomes the definitive sentence, as well as the sentence issued in minor degrees that is not resisted by the condemned or by the accusator (or is not resisted within a given time).
		Sentences are in many systems a source of law, as an authoritative interpretation of the law in front of concrete cases, thus quite as an extension of the ordinary formal documental system.
		The sentence is generally issued by the judge in the name of (or on the behalf of) the superior authority of the State.

	Sentence (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In linguistics, a sentence is a unit of language, characterised in most languages by the presence of a finite verb.
		For example, " The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." The shortest legal sentences in the English language are "I am" and "I do" - although with some bending of the rules, the imperative "Go!" can be considered the shortest correct sentence.
		Traditionally, each sentence is regarded as having a subject, an object and a verb, even if one of these is implied.

	Indo-European and the Indo-Europeans. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. 2000
		Indo-European is the name given for geographic reasons to the large and well-defined linguistic family that includes most of the languages of Europe, past and present, as well as those found in a vast area extending across Iran and Afghanistan to the northern half of the Indian subcontinent.
		The last decades of the 20th century have happily witnessed a resurgence of Indo-European studies, catalyzed by advances in linguistic theory and an increase in the available data that have resulted in a picture of the reconstructed proto-language that is, in a word, tighter.
		Grammatical relationships and the syntactic function of words in the sentence were indicated primarily by variations in the endings of the words.

		Sentences are also classified on the basis of the types of content embodied by the sentences: declarative (statement), interrogative (question), imperative (request or command), exclamatory (emotions), and so on.
		The sentences we utter or write are generally a part of a larger whole called discourses cluster of sentences with a focus on a single topic, generally speaking, which is intuitively felt as forming a unit by itself.
		Linguists also expend a considerable amount of their energies to debate the extent to which the implications of the notion of presupposition should form part of the linguistic description of a language.

	Hierarchical Structure Introduction to Linguistics for Language Teachers
		The analogy I want to use is a parallel between the hierarchical structure of ever larger, semantically coherent constituents in a sentence and the hierarchical structure of age-graded constituents in a family.
		Since it may be hard for you to identify the constituents of a sentence or phrase, let's discuss a procedure to help with the identification.
		In either case, the sentence is another constituent and is therefore put in parentheses as well.

		Sentences in 2 and 3 also illustrate deep structure meaning relationships in related sentences, but these pairs of sentences aren't synonymous.
		Transforming a declarative sentence into a question, or interrogative, involves a substantial change in meaning (sometimes abbreviated Q as the added element in deep structure, if you were diagramming these sentences and using P-S rules that would trigger the obligatory transformation.)

		Linguists discovered this phenomenon in the eighteenth century and it has helped them reconstruct the history of languages and to map out language families and family trees.
		What linguists do is to look for words with similar meanings and similar sounds (cognates) in selected languages, and see if they can guess what sound changes would have taken place to yield these words.
		However there is an interesting parallel between linguistic evolution and biological evolution that should probably be stressed more than it is. As you may know, the capability to fly has evolved separately several times in the history of life on earth.

		Metre is a contentious subject, and studies based on mechanical, musical, organic and linguistic analogies have shown how little is currently understood.{1} Nonetheless, as defined as some pattern of phonological stress, pitch and/or length, rhythm is an inescapable element of poetry.
		To the extent that linguistics is a science, and science deals with propositions that must be falsifiable, linguistics does not provide a royal road to certainty in metrical analysis.
		Linguistic prosodists have elaborated brilliant theories, but only related sign to sign, not sign to signifier: they have failed to ask what the signs mean.

		In recent linguistics and logic, ambiguity has been contrasted with semantical non-specificity--for example, the multiple meanings of 'bank' contrasted with the sex-non-specific sense of 'neighbor' (male, female, hermaphroditic and angelic neighbors are all neighbors in the same sense of 'neighbor').
		Importantly, the sentence cannot mean any of the crossed interpretations, such as: I don't like the quality of John's cooking any more than I like the fact that Bill cooks.
