English Grammar And Composition I THE WORD

Q. WHAT IS WORD?

THE WORD

A meaningful group (combination) of different letters is called word.

•        The branch of linguistics that studies word structures is called morphology.
•        The branch of linguistics that studies word meanings is called lexical semantics.

For Example:

1. GO 
2. END
3. BIRD
4. BEAUTY etc

LETS HAVE A LOOK AT THE EXAMPLES GIVEN BELOW

REST: It is a word because it is meaningful.

SERT: It is not a word because it is meaningless, though it consists of the letters as for the word “REST”.
