How to distinguish words from phrases, and what are the differences between words and phrases?

A word is the smallest unit of language that represents a certain meaning, has a fixed phonetic form, and can be used independently.

A phrase is a combination of two or more real words and is a linguistic unit that is larger than the word and smaller than the sentence.

The main differences are that the properties are different, the classifications are different, and the characteristics are different, as follows:

First, the nature is different.

1. Words. A word is a combination of words and phrases, including words (including words and compound words) and phrases (also known as phrases), which form the smallest group of word structure forms in a sentence article.

2. Phrases. A phrase, also commonly known as a phrase, is a combination of two or more words.

Second, the classification is different.

1. Words. Words are classified as 2, 3 and 4.

2. Phrases. From the structure of blind beard, it can be roughly divided into two categories: fixed phrases (grinding and blocking fixed phrases) and free phrases (free phrases).

Third, the characteristics are different.

1. Words. In Chinese, a character can also be counted as a word.

2. Noisy phrases.

A combination of two or more words.

Words are the basic units of language that have independent meaning and grammatical functions and can be used to express a concept or thing. For example, "book", "run", "happy", etc. are all words.

The phrase is a series of words that can be understood as a combination of words. They are more closely related in grammar and meaning, and can be used to express more complex meanings. For example, "drink tea", "rain pours", "gestures", etc., are all phrases.

Thus, the difference between a word and a phrase is that a word is the most basic unit of language, whereas a phrase is made up of several words with a more complex grammar and meaning.

1. The definitions are different.

Words are the smallest and can be independent.

The phonetic and semantic combinations used in the attack, such as "people" and "books".

A phrase is a language unit that functions as a word but is itself composed of words that is larger than a word, "English teacher", "scientific research".

2. The role is different.

Words are sentence-making units, which directly form sentences, and can also be combined with other words to form phrases and then form sentences, such as the sentence "flowers bloomed" is composed of three words: "flowers, flowers, and flowers".

Phrases can be used alone and can be used directly to form sentences, such as "the moon season flower has bloomed", and "the moon season flower" is a phrase.

3. The structure is different.

A word is a larger grammatical unit made up of morphemes, but words cannot be expanded, e.g. "cabbage" is a word, and cannot be expanded to "white cabbage".

Phrases are formed by combining words and are therefore able to expand, as in the case "white cloth" is a phrase that can be expanded to "white cloth".

: A phrase is made up of words that can be split and make sense when split. For example, drinking water is a verb-object phrase. It can be divided into drinking and water, each with its own meaning.

Words can basically not be split, such as butterflies, after splitting.

Self-meaningless.

Words are minimal to copy.

Ability to use the language independently. At the same time, ci is also a kind of poetry style, which sprouted in the Southern Dynasty and was a new literary style that emerged in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

A phrase is a language unit without a sentence that can be combined at the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic levels, also known as a phrase. It is a grammatical unit that is larger than a word but not a sentence.

The word is single.

A phrase is two or more words.

1. The meaning is different.

The concept expressed by the word is relatively simple and solidified, and the meaning of a compound word is not the simple addition of the meaning expressed by the morphemes, while the meaning expressed by the phrase is a more complex concept, so the meaning of a phrase is generally the addition of the meaning of the words that make up the phrase.

2. The structural relationship is different.

The constituent components of compound words are morphemes, which are tightly bound to each other and generally cannot be taken apart casually and cannot be inserted into other linguistic components, while the constituent components of phrases are words, which are loosely combined and can generally be disassembled and other linguistic components can be inserted;

3. Voice pauses are different.

From the perspective of phonetic pauses, there are no phonetic pauses between morphemes within compound words, and there are phonetic pauses between words within phrases.

1. Parallel phrases: Words and words express a juxtaposition relationship.

Example: Survey and research Talking and laughing Wind and rain thunder and lightning raise or lower the capital Beijing.

2. Partial phrases: the words in front modify the words in the back, and the meaning of the words in the back is the subject. (The modifier before the verb and adjective is called the adverbial, and the modifier before the noun pronoun is called the adjective).

Example: not sturdy a car great motherland.

3. Verb-object phrase: The word in front of Lu Daipei indicates action, and the word in the back is the object of action domination. (The object dominated by the verb is the object).

Example: See clearly in the sun.

4. Supplementary phrases: The meaning of the preceding words is the subject (often verbs and adjectives), and the following words supplement the preceding words. (i.e. complements).

Example: Cool to see through.

5. Subject-verb phrase: The subject is the object of the statement (often nouns and pronouns), and the predicate is the content of the statement (often verbs and adjectives).

Functional classes

Phrases have two functions: on the one hand, they are syntactic, and all phrases can act as components of a larger phrase; On the other hand, there are sentences, and most of the phrases plus the tone of the sentence can be formed into a sentence independently. There are a few phrases that don't have the ability to form sentences, for example, the phrase "so".

The function of a phrase is determined by the function of what kind of words it is equivalent to. Noun phrases whose functions are equivalent to nouns; A predicate phrase that is functionally equivalent to a predicate is usually centered on a verb or adjective. The functional class of a subject-predicate phrase depends on the part of speech of the predicate center of the short predicate.

There is no difference between a phrase and a phrase, so a phrase is another name for a phrase.

Phrases are composed of three parts: syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic, and can be divided into two categories: structural and functional.

A phrase is a fixed sentence fragment in which two or more words form a certain combination relationship and are always used together in different sentences. It can also be defined as a linguistic unit without a sentence that is a combination of words that can be matched in the language and town. In Chinese grammar, from the grammatical level, a phrase is a grammatical unit that is larger than a word but does not form a sentence.

When we say that we can expand or not, we mean that it is based on grammatical habits, that is, what people generally say, you can pay attention to it, and people generally do not say that they have a class or a meeting in life. Our modern Chinese textbooks are not the first to have textbooks before modern Chinese, but the standard Chinese that our modern Chinese experts have summed up after studying people's words.
