This volume examines the concept of "word" in its many guises and across many languages. "Word" is a cornerstone for the understanding of any language: it is a pronounceable phonological unit; it has a meaning and a morphological structure and syntactic function; and it exists as a dictionaryentry and an orthographic item. Speakers also understand "word" as a psychological reality: they can talk about the meaning of a word and its suitability in certain social contexts. However, the relationship between the phonological word and grammatical word can be more complex, in that aphonological word can consist of more than one grammatical word, or vice versa. Following an introduction outlining the parameters of variation for phonological word and grammatical word, the chapters in this volume explore how the concept of "word" can be applied to languages of diverse typological make-up, from the highly synthetic to highly analytic. The data are drawn fromlanguages of Australia and the Pacific (Fijian, Yalaku, Yidin), the Americas (Chamacoco, Murui, Jarawara), Asia (Hmong, Japanese, Lao), and Africa (Makary Kotoko), with a final chapter that investigates the properties of "word" from a cross-linguistic perspective. The volume advances ourunderstanding of what constitutes a word, and will be a valuable resource for scholars and students of typology, linguistic anthropology, phonology, and grammar. | Phonological Word and Grammatical Word by Alexandra Y.
