Created page with "General characteristics: * ostentive definition of the word's meaning is possible (i.e. definition by pointing at the object/ the activity) * the meaning is lexical, i.e. the..."

New page

General characteristics:

* ostentive definition of the word's meaning is possible (i.e. definition by pointing at the object/ the activity)
* the meaning is lexical, i.e. there is a referent in the world; we also call these words content words.
* diachronically, the words emerge and disappear fast (If there are new inventions or items/ activities go out of use)
* open word classes (i.e. words can be added to these classes)
* the word classes are defined by operational tests (we use semantic, morphological and syntactic criteria since it is impossible to give a complete list)
