Description: In linguistics, a phrase is generally understood as a sequence of independently-recognized words. Evidence from child language acquisition, distribution in corpora, and language change, shows that phrases are stored and retrieved as grammatical units (Bybee 2010). Phrases are of interest both structurally and interactionally.
