The word is defined

· Phonologically and

· By combining various approaches.

Syntactically:, H.Sweet, L. Bloomfield S. Potter:

H. Sweet: “the minimum sentence”.

L. Bloomfield “A minimum free form ”

(free forms are forms which occur as sentences).

Phonological approach:

Л.С. Бархударов:

- Последовательность морфем (в простейшем случае – одна морфема) внутри которой не может быть вставлена другая такая же последовательность морфем

Syntactic and semantic aspects:

E. Sapir: ‘A word is one of the smallest completely satisfying bits of isolated ‘meaning’ into which the sentence resolves itself. It cannot be cut into without a disturbance of meaning’…(the essence of indivisibility: a(living or dead) lion and alive).Each other and one another are word-units (not word-groups).

J. Lyons: two criteria: ‘positional mobility and uninterruptability’:

‘One of the characteristics of the word is that it tends to be internally stable (in terms of the order of the component morphemes) but positionally mobile, (permutable with other words in the same sentence) (J. Lyons)

Semantic treatment:

Stephen Ullmann’s

«A connected discourse will fall into a certain number of meaningful segments which are ultimately composed of meaningful units. These meaningful units are called words»

The semantic-phonological approach:

Gardiner:

An articulate sound – symbol in its aspect of denoting smth which is spoken about

Semantic, phonological and grammatical criteria:
