Word is the basic
unit of Semantics

Those which have proper
meanings such as:
Play,like,beautiful etc.

Form Functional Grammatical Words
These are those words which are little or have no meanings such as:As,To,a,Of etc.

Bloomfield`s
defination of word
•A Minimum free unit that occurs in isolation
![Page 10: The word (Semantics)](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103114/554ddd91b4c905cc0e8b51f5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
In this Bloomfield suggested that we should look for an element smaller than the word a unit of meaning of the morpheme
Example “ Loved _d” in this adore and part clearly shown
But in “took” in this we cannot segment “took” in to the parts
So we cannot define words in terms of morpheme
Term of Morpheme

There are some elements within words that are not grammatical yet equally have little or no meaning
E.g “Cran _cranberry, Straw _strawberry” They don't have independent meaning and
don't occur in any other words But in “Blackberry” it has independent
meaning and occur with other words e.g black board, black bird
More examples “Green finch, Bull finch, chaffinch
Some words are not grammatical

There is no consistency about the numbers of semantic units.
We may recognize with in a word e.g “stallion mare”
But in Giraffe “Male Giraffe _Female Giraffe”
No Consistency

He introduced two kinds of words Transparent Words Opaque Words
Ullman`s Theory
![Page 14: The word (Semantics)](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103114/554ddd91b4c905cc0e8b51f5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
These are words those meaning can be determined from the meaning of their parts.
Examples “Chopper. Doorman
Transparent word
![Page 15: The word (Semantics)](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103114/554ddd91b4c905cc0e8b51f5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
These are those words whose meaning cannot be determined from the meaning of their parts.
Examples “Axe and Poster
Opaque words

All these considerations may suggest that we should abord out the idea that the word is a natural unit for semantics.
However useful it may be for the dictionary maker
