Plerem

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under Plerem be in linguistics two slightly different things understood:

  • In glossematics , the smallest unit of the meaning of a glosseme , i.e. H. of a linguistic sign, meant ( content page ), while its antonym Kenem denotes the meaningless, arbitrary body of characters ( expression page ). Other schools of linguistics use the term semantic characteristic or sem instead .
  • Plerem is used by some linguists for the smallest (i.e., not decomposable into smaller elements of the same kind) linguistic sign, which most linguists call the morpheme or morph . A textbook on morphology says: "The minimal sign , which will be called Plerem in the following for short , has an expression that generally consists of several phonemes or graphemes, and a content that can be broken down into several components." In this terminology, e.g. B. -er ' plural ' as in Brett er a plerem, while the set of all pleremes with the content ' plural ' (also -e ' plural ' as in day e , -en ' plural ' as in states en etc.) is a morpheme and the set of all pleremes with the expression <er> (including -er ' comparative ' as in Schnell er ) is a morph.
