This book discusses the nature and definition of what a word is in
Linguistics. This is not an easy task since the term subsumes a
wide range of phenomena explored from an even wider array of
perspectives. Although words are the most accessible linguistic
units from the speaker's introspection viewpoint, they are, at the
same time, an incredibly elusive reality for the linguist. Issues
such as their definition, theoretical status, limits,
characteristics, and psycholinguistic reality are still
controversial and open for debate.This book offers an up-to-date
overview of the latest discussions on the nature of word in Modern
Linguistics. It gathers together under a single collective volume
different views of what a word is from a wide range of diverse
methodological and theoretical linguistic frameworks, such as
phonological theory, linguistic typology, lexical generative
morphology, generative syntax, cognitive grammar, and construction
grammar. Despite their different backgrounds, all these papers are
geared towards the same goal: to offer a detailed account of what a
word is in their respective fields.All in all, this collection of
papers offers different perspectives that will contribute to
provide some answers to the myriad of questions that a simple
phrase such as to be or not to be a Word brings to the fore.
