Word grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It is based on the dependency grammar model, in which information is almost entirely contained in the lexical entries for particular words, and syntax is seen as consisting primarily of rules for combining words. The central syntactic relation is that of dependency between words; constituent structure is not recognized except in the special case of coordinate structures. Word grammar is a grammar model developed by Richard Hudson in the 1980s. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Word_grammar   (142 words)

Word order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia However, speaking of a language having a given word order is generally understood as a reference to the basic, unmarked, non-emphatic word order for sentences with constituents expressed by full nouns or noun phrases. Word order, in linguistic typology, refers to the order in which words appear in sentences across different languages. It is not understood why word orders with the subject before the object are much more common than word orders with the object before the subject. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Word_order   (523 words)

Football - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Even in the countries where "football" is the official name of association football, this name may be at odds with common usage; this has occurred in Australia where official attempts to re-brand soccer, in the early 21st century, are at odds with usages of the word "football" established more than 100 years earlier. While it is widely believed that the word football, or "foot ball", originated in reference to the action of a foot kicking a ball, there is a rival explanation, which has it that football originally referred to a variety of games in medieval Europe, which were played on foot. In Scotland, football was banned by James I in 1424 and by James II in 1457. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Football   (6481 words)

Measure word - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Measure words, in linguistics, are words (or morphemes) that are used in combination with a numeral to indicate the count of nouns. Measure words often classify the noun they modify into some semantic class and consequently measure words are considered numeral classifiers, closely akin to grammatical gender. The appropriate measure word is chosen based on the kind and shape of the noun, and combines with the numeral, sometimes adopting several different forms. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Measure_word   (741 words)

Compound (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In an exocentric compound, the word class is determined lexically, disregarding the class of the constituents.

Curse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia a "curse word.") The curse is also another term for the original sin of Adam and Eve. Tecumseh's curse was reputed to cause the deaths in office of Presidents of the United States elected in years divisible by 20, beginning in 1840 (this alleged curse appears to have fallen dormant in 1980, as President Ronald Reagan, elected that year, failed to die in office). Sometimes, the curse was allegedly laid with a purpose; the "Curse of the Pharaohs" is supposed to have haunted the archaeologists who excavated the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamen, whereby an imprecation was supposedly pronounced on anyone who violated its precincts by the ancient Egyptian priests. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Curse   (1050 words)

Word salad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Word salad is a mixture of seemingly meaningful words that together signify nothing; the phrase derives from the fact that many salads are composed of tossed ingredients and therefore have small-scale structure but no large-scale organization. In the context of computer science and linguistics, explicitly constructed word salad is a tool for demonstrating the difference between random utterance and coherent expression of thought. When applied to a physical theory, "word salad" it is a derogatory description that labels the theory as senseless or utterly devoid of meaning. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Word_salad   (787 words)

Wikipedia: Football (soccer) In the late 19th century the word 'soccer' tended to be used by the upper-classes who played the game under that name at public schools, whilst the majority of working class people used the word 'football'. Today the word 'soccer' is predominantly used by English-speaking nations that have evolved their own native codes of football not directly related to the Association game. The rules of football are known as Laws of Football[1] and are based on efforts made in the mid-19th century to standardise the rules of the widely varying games of football played at the public schoolss and universities of England. www.factbook.org /wikipedia/en/f/fo/football__soccer_.html   (1855 words)

Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Weasel words are often in the passive voice, which weakens the effectiveness of written prose. The {{weasel}} template can be added to the top of an article or section to bring attention to an article or section that has many weasel words.

Word processing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Word processing, in its now-usual meaning, is the use of a word processor to create documents using computers. Word processing (in the usual meaning) developed as specialised application programs on mainframe computers during the 1970's as "online computing" (with the use of personal terminal devices having keyboards and display screens) became more common. Perhaps Wang Computers is the best example of a company that became very successful on the back of specialised word processing systems but then collapsed when it lost its revenue from word processing systems and was not able to substitute newer forms of computing quickly enough. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Word_processing   (800 words)

Power word - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Power words will often create an impression that any logical argument against the speaker is absurd, when that is not always the case. Power words are used often in our lives.

Word coinage - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch For example, the word "video" had been used to describe any visual image on a television screen, and "tape" to describe a thin strip; the word "videotape" was invented in 1953 as a combination of these two, named by combining the words for two of its key features. Another illustration of coinage is seen in the word dot-com (1994), denoting a company that relies on the Internet for most or all of its business, which arose due to the frequency of businesses including ".com" in their company name. Words and phrases can also be created as an attempt to frame a political issue, in order to cause the listener of the word or phrase to interpret the issue as coiner intends. encyclopedia.worldsearch.com /word_coinage.htm   (551 words)

Code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Code words were chosen for various reasons: length, pronounceability, etc. Meanings were chosen to fit perceived needs: commercial negotiations, military terms for military codes, diplomatic terms for diplomatic codes, any and all of the preceding for espionage codes,... In communications, a code is a rule for converting a piece of information (for example, a letter, word, or phrase) into another form or representation, not necessarily of the same sort. In mathematics, a Gödel code was the basis for the proof of Gödel's incompleteness theorem. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Code   (751 words)

Portmanteau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Portmanteau word" was the original phrase used to describe such words (as listed in dictionaries published as late as the early 1990s), but this has since been abbreviated to simply "portmanteau" as the term (and the type of words it describes) gained popularity. The term portmanteau is used in a different, yet still not clearly defined sense, to refer either to a portmanteau morpheme (a morpheme that fuses two grammatical categories; see Fusional language), or a portmanteau word, a word that fuses two function words. A portmanteau (plural: portmanteaux) is a word that is formed by combining both sounds and meanings from two or more words. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Grammatical_blend   (640 words)

Feature Article - Hybrid Hullabaloo - 07/04 Despite all of the talk about how Ford's full hybrid system is licensed from Toyota, Ford insists its design draws on fewer than 30 of the 370 patents Toyota has on its hybrid drive. Unfortunately, though this lengthens the power stroke relative to the effective intake stroke and extracts more energy from the fuel, it also lessens the amount of torque the engine produces (129 lb-ft @ 4,500 rpm for the hybrid vs. 152 lb-ft @ 4,250 for the base vehicle) which is clearly felt at low speeds. The Escape Hybrid can draw on the instant torque of the motor to get things rolling; the vehicle runs only on the electric motor during part-throttle acceleration up to speeds of 25 mph. www.automfg.com /articles/070402.html   (640 words)

Shina (word) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Originally a word used neutrally in both Chinese and Japanese, the word gained a derogatory tone due to its widespread usage in the context of the Second Sino-Japanese War. In fact, even before the Republican era, the term "Shina" was one of the proposed names that was to be equivalent to the western usage "China." Chinese revolutionaries, such as Sun Yat-sen, Sung Chiao-jen, and Liang Qichao, used the term extensively, and it was also used in literature as well as by ordinary Chinese. This difference in conception can lead to misunderstandings. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Shina_(word)   (783 words)

Longest word in English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, also spelled pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis, is defined as "a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica or quartz dust." At 45 letters, it is certainly the longest word ever to appear in a non-technical dictionary of English, the Oxford English Dictionary. The words so created are increasingly more contrived, however, and given that there is essentially no limit to their length (unless artificial constraints are introduced, such as not using any prefix more than once), it is dubious whether any of them can lay a claim to being the "longest" word. It is the plural of a word found in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 10th edition, which was the dictionary of reference in North American Scrabble play for base words of at least 10 letters, and their inflections of at least 10 letters, until June 16, 2003. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Longest_word_in_English   (783 words)

Word (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Likewise, a proper noun is a word, however long it is. A space may not be even the main morpheme boundary in a word; the word New Yorker is a compound of New York and -er, not of New and Yorker. In polysynthetic languages, the number of morphemes per word can become so large that the word performs the same grammatical role as a phrase or clause in less synthetic languages (for example, in Yupik, angyaghllangyugtuq means "he wants to acquire a big boat"). A word is a unit of language that carries meaning and consists of one or more morphemes. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Word_(linguistics)   (783 words)

Word play - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Word play is a literary technique in which the nature of the words used themselves become part of the subject of the work. Puns, obscure words and meanings, clever rhetorical excursions, oddly formed sentences, and telling character names are common examples of word play. An extreme form of playing with words is creating a fictional language. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wordplay   (242 words)

Kangaroo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The word kangaroo is said to derive from the Guugu Yimidhirr (an Australian Aboriginal language) word gangurru, referring to the Grey Kangaroo. Kangaroo farming is a substantially more environmentally friendly meat industry than present sheep or cattle farming: kangaroos require less feed than placental stock, are well-adapted to drought, do not destroy the root systems of native grasses in the way that sheep do, and have much less impact on Australia's fragile topsoils. A female kangaroo is usually pregnant in permanence, except on the day she gives birth; however, she has the ability to freeze the development of an embryo until the previous joey is able to leave the pouch. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Kangaroo   (3273 words)
