An affix is an unfree, indivisible term that's made out of a combination of phonemes or graphemes that represents an incomplete phrase [[or phrases]]. Its shape conveysnot part of the meaning it represents.
A morpheme is a free, indivisible term that's made out of a combination of phonemes or graphemes that represents a/some complete phrase/s or a/some complete or incomplete sentence/s. Its shape conveysnot part of the meaning it represents.
A word is a free, divisible term that's made out of a combination of affixes and free terms that represents a/some complete phrase/s or a/some complete or incomplete sentence/s. Its shape conveys part of the meaning it represents.
A compound is a free, divisible term that's made out of a combinaion of free terms that represents a/some complete phrase/s or a/some complete or incomplete sentence/s. Its shape conveys part of the meaning it represents.
A term is a unit of meaning.
A divisible term is a term that's made out of two or more terms.
An indivisible term is a term that's made out of one term.
A free term is a term that needsnot to attach to another term.
An unfree term is a term that needs to attach to another term.
A meaning is a/some complete or incomplete phrase/s or sentence/s.
A complete phrase is a complete description of a concept (no variable to fill).
An incomplete phrase is an incomplete description of a concept (a variable to fill).
A complete sentence is a complete description of an event (no variable/s to fill).
An incomplete sentence is an incomplete description of an event (a/some variable/s to fill).
A phrase consists of a phrase head AND a phrase tail.
A phrase head is one free term and a phrase tail is one or more relative clauses.
A sentence consists of a relater and a/some relation/s.
Meanings precede terms (units of meaning) since you can't have terms without first having meanings. Though terms may represent unarticulate and expressed-in-some-other-way meanings. This should be the case if no or not enough terms exist to make up a meaning that could then be represented by a term.
Even if a selbri (verb or preposition) concept is not functioning as a relater primary or secondary it is still a concept that subject [[do]]. But when it's in an event functioning as a relater primary or secondary it is... indicating that it's in an event. It's indicating a place structure: a number of particular relations.
Just as not every concept can function as a relation subject experiencer, not every concept can function as a relater primary or secondary.
Concepts can function as many types of event roles but not necessarily all of them.
Relativized head anaphor could be: relhed.
Relative/resumptive anaphor could be: respro.
Event role could be: relhed that concept function as respro in event.
Arguement could be: relation (relhed that relater relate respro).
Verb (I'm gonna use verb as a semantic concept category) could be: relater (relhed that respro relate relation/s).
More particular relations are: S (subject), DO (direct object), IO (indirect object), A (agent), P (patient), R (recipient), etc. ...
More particular relaters are: primary and secondary.
Selbri concepts are described the same as, for example, noun concepts: phrases are used. The place structure or relational structure (the thematic grid) for the selbri concept when it functions as a relater in an event is determined from the concept itself and should be found as a relative clause in the phrase tail in the phrase that describes the concept.
Example: run equals selbri verb action that subject respro and that [description that a physician could probably give]. ("subject respro" is the relative clause that should provide the relational structure.)
In "Horse run." the term: horse is a morpheme and the concept:horse is a noun and the concept:horse functions as a relation subject agent in the event.
In "Horse run." the term: run is a morpheme and the concept:run is a verb action and the concept:run functions as a relater primary in the event.
The concept:run in the event: "Run is fun." functions as a relation subject.
The concept:run in the event: "x1 run." functions as a relater primary.
