English Language and Linguistics taster lecture
What is a word?
In this 30-minute lecture we explore one of the fundamental building blocks of language: words. We consider questions about the difference between counting the words in a ditcionary and the words in an essay, how new words come into a language, what kinds of elements combine to make words and how the answers to those questions are different in different languages.
