Posted by Kazper at 2:18pm Jan 23 '09For my language that I'm working on:
An affix is an unfree, indivisible term that's made out of a combination of phonemes and graphemes that represents an incomplete part of phrase xor an incomplete whole phrase. Its shape conveysnot part of the meaning it represents.
A prefix is an affix that represents an incomplete part of phrase xor maybe, at times, an incomplete whole phrase. Its shape conveysnot part of the meaning it represents.
A suffix is an affix that represents an incomplete whole phrase xor sometimes an incomplete part of phrase.
A morpheme is a free, indivisible term that's made out of a combination of phonemes and graphemes that represents a complete whole phrase xor a complete sentence xor some complete sentences xor an incomplete sentence. Its shape conveysnot part of the meaning it represents.
A word is a free, divisible term that's made out of one affix xor a combination of affixes and one morpheme xor one compound that represents a complete whole phrase. Its shape conveys a complete part of phrase xor a complete whole phrase.
A compound is a free, divisible term that's made out of two morphemes xor two words xor one morpheme and one word that represents a complete whole phrase. Its shape conveys a complete part of phrase.
An abbreviated (or contracted or [something]) phrase is a complete whole phrase xor a complete part of phrase with the relative clause that is between and possibly to the right of the first term (that is the phrase-head) and the second term (that is the [[concept-modify]] (narrower)) being ellipsed. When it is the latter it does not represent the complete whole phrase that it is a part of, as the rest of the complete whole phrase is conveyed. Ex.: "dress k flowerley and red b". The abbreviated phrase in this example is an abbreviated complete part of phrase and it is: "dress k flowerley". "y" informs the conveyee that "flower" belongs to an ellipsed relative clause that they must work out for themselves.
A compound is an abbreviated complete part of phrase that represents the complete whole phrase that it's a part of. In a compound though the two terms are joined with something (I'm possibly going to use a single vowel) and the "y" is not used. Ex.: "dress-flower". This could be a compound that represents the complete whole phrase: "dress k flowerley and red b".
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 an incomplete part of phrase, or an incomplete whole phrase, or a complete part of phrase, or a complete whole phrase, or a complete sentence, or some complete sentences or an incomplete sentence.
An incomplete part of phrase is a phrase that contains a variable and is part of a whole phrase.
An incomplete whole phrase is a phrase that contains a variable and is a whole phrase.
A complete part of phrase is a phrase that containsnot a variable and is part of a whole phrase.
A complete whole phrase is a phrase that containsnot a variable and is a whole phrase.
A complete sentence is a sentence that containsnot any variables.
An incomplete sentence is a sentence that contains some variables.
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.
