'''Word''' is a basic unit of [[language]] consisting of one or more spoken sounds, written symbols, or both, that can have a meaning or perform a grammatical function. Words can be combined to form [[phrase]]s, [[sentence]]s, and larger units of language.

Words may belong to different [[parts of speech]], such as [[noun]]s, [[verb]]s, [[adjective]]s, [[adverb]]s, [[pronoun]]s, [[determiner]]s, and [[preposition]]s. The definition and boundaries of a word can vary between languages and systems of writing.
