Juilland Alphonse, Roceric Alexandra. The Linguistic Concept of Word: Analytic Bibliography

De Gruyter Mouton, 1972. — 118 p.This bibliography is devoted to the modern study of the linguistic concept of word: we have selected from books, monographs, articles, and reviews that envisage words as units of expression rather than content, as elements of form instead of meaning, as syntagmatic rather than paradigmatic entities. In other terms, semantic studies have been considered only inasmuch as they rely on meaning as a criterion for determining words as units of expression. Hence, our focus is on criteria and definitions for dividing spoken chains, utterances or sentences into words, i.e., on methods, techniques, and operations designed to establish under what conditions adjacent morphemes are to be interpreted conjunctively, as parts of the same word, or disjunctively, as constituents of different words.
