Special Symposium:
What is the “word”? – Exploring its multifaceted nature
Lyons (1968: 194) clearly asserts the reality of the word, stating that “It is the basis of the distinction which is frequently drawn between morphology and syntax, and it is the principal unit of lexicography (or dictionary-making).” Similarly, according to Dixon & Aikhenvald (2002: 6), the “word” is the interface between morphology and syntax, with morphology dealing with the internal structure of words and syntax dealing with the way words are combined. Regarding how to identify words, Kageyama (1993:7, 2004:4) proposes to use the notion of “lexical integrity,” but also points out that it is necessary to consider multiple aspects of the “word”: phonetic, morphological, and semantic. In this symposium, we will explore the multifaceted nature of the “word” from the viewpoints of phonological, morphological, and semantic cohesiveness and through typological analysis of different types of languages. It will also be pointed out that linguistic typological features are partially responsible for determining the “cohesiveness” in the language in question.
