Accidental gap

In linguistics an accidental gap, also known as a gap, paradigm gap, accidental lexical gap, lexical gap, lacuna, or hole in the pattern, is a potential word, word sense, morpheme, or other form that does not exist in some language despite being theoretically permissible by the grammatical rules of that language.

Bahuvrihi

A bahuvrihi compound (from lit, originally referring to fertile land but later denoting the quality of being wealthy or rich) is a type of compound word that denotes a referent by specifying a certain characteristic or quality the referent possesses.

See Idiom (language structure) and Bahuvrihi

Collocation

In corpus linguistics, a collocation is a series of words or terms that co-occur more often than would be expected by chance.

See Idiom (language structure) and Collocation

Count noun

In linguistics, a count noun (also countable noun) is a noun that can be modified by a quantity and that occurs in both singular and plural forms, and that can co-occur with quantificational determiners like every, each, several, etc.

See Idiom (language structure) and Count noun

English as She Is Spoke

O novo guia da conversação em portuguez e inglez, commonly known by the name English as She Is Spoke, is a 19th-century book written by Pedro Carolino, with some editions crediting José da Fonseca as a co-author.

See Idiom (language structure) and English as She Is Spoke

Grammatical gender

In linguistics, a grammatical gender system is a specific form of a noun class system, where nouns are assigned to gender categories that are often not related to the real-world qualities of the entities denoted by those nouns.

See Idiom (language structure) and Grammatical gender

Grammaticality

In linguistics, grammaticality is determined by the conformity to language usage as derived by the grammar of a particular speech variety.

See Idiom (language structure) and Grammaticality

Idiom

An idiom is a phrase or expression that usually presents a figurative, non-literal meaning attached to the phrase.

See Idiom (language structure) and Idiom

Inflection

In linguistic morphology, inflection (less commonly, inflexion) is a process of word formation in which a word is modified to express different grammatical categories such as tense, case, voice, aspect, person, number, gender, mood, animacy, and definiteness.

See Idiom (language structure) and Inflection

Language

Language is a structured system of communication that consists of grammar and vocabulary. Idiom (language structure) and Language are linguistics.

See Idiom (language structure) and Language

Language family

A language family is a group of languages related through descent from a common ancestral language or parental language, called the proto-language of that family.

See Idiom (language structure) and Language family

Monolingualism

Monoglottism (Greek μόνος monos, "alone, solitary", + γλῶττα, "tongue, language") or, more commonly, monolingualism or unilingualism, is the condition of being able to speak only a single language, as opposed to multilingualism.

See Idiom (language structure) and Monolingualism

Morphology (linguistics)

In linguistics, morphology is the study of words, including the principles by which they are formed, and how they relate to one another within a language.

See Idiom (language structure) and Morphology (linguistics)

Phonology

Phonology is the branch of linguistics that studies how languages systematically organize their phones or, for sign languages, their constituent parts of signs.

See Idiom (language structure) and Phonology

Phraseme

A phraseme, also called a set phrase, fixed expression, idiomatic phrase, multiword expression (in computational linguistics), or idiom, is a multi-word or multi-morphemic utterance whose components include at least one that is selectionally constrained or restricted by linguistic convention such that it is not freely chosen.

See Idiom (language structure) and Phraseme

Principle of compositionality

In semantics, mathematical logic and related disciplines, the principle of compositionality is the principle that the meaning of a complex expression is determined by the meanings of its constituent expressions and the rules used to combine them.

See Idiom (language structure) and Principle of compositionality

Programming idiom

In computer programming, a programming idiom or code idiom is a group of code fragments sharing an equivalent semantic role, which recurs frequently across software projects often expressing a special feature of a recurring construct in one or more programming languages or libraries.

See Idiom (language structure) and Programming idiom

Regularization (linguistics)

Regularization is a linguistic phenomenon observed in language acquisition, language development, and language change typified by the replacement of irregular forms in morphology or syntax by regular ones.

See Idiom (language structure) and Regularization (linguistics)

Semantic equivalence (linguistics)

In semantics, the best-known types of semantic equivalence are dynamic equivalence and formal equivalence (two terms coined by Eugene Nida), which employ translation approaches that focus, respectively, on conveying the meaning of the source text; and that lend greater importance to preserving, in the translation, the literal structure of the source text.

See Idiom (language structure) and Semantic equivalence (linguistics)

Solecism

A solecism is a phrase that transgresses the rules of grammar.

See Idiom (language structure) and Solecism

Structure

A structure is an arrangement and organization of interrelated elements in a material object or system, or the object or system so organized.

See Idiom (language structure) and Structure

Syntax

In linguistics, syntax is the study of how words and morphemes combine to form larger units such as phrases and sentences.

See Idiom (language structure) and Syntax

Usage (language)

The usage of a language is the ways in which its written and spoken variations are routinely employed by its speakers; that is, it refers to "the collective habits of a language's native speakers", as opposed to idealized models of how a language works (or should work) in the abstract.

See Idiom (language structure) and Usage (language)

Word sense

In linguistics, a word sense is one of the meanings of a word.

See Idiom (language structure) and Word sense
