ords, upon the lexical filling of structural patterns which are specific for every language. the restriction may be independent of the ties existing in extra-linguistic reality between the object spoken of and be conditioned by purely linguistic factors, or have extralinguistic causes in the history of the people. in free word-combination the linguistic factors are chiefly connected with grammatical properties of words. free word-groups of syntactically connected notional words within a sentence, which by itself is not a sentence. this definition is recognised more or less universally in this country and abroad. though other linguistics define the term word-group differently - as any group of words connected semantically and grammatically which does not make up a sentence by itself. from this point of view words-components of a word-group may belong to any part of speech, therefor such groups as m the morning, the window, and bill are also considered to …

ord-group. in endocentric word-groups the central component that has the same distribution as the whole group is clearly the dominant member or the head to which ail other members of the group are subordinated. in the word-group red flower the head is the noun flower and in the word-group kind of people the head is the adjective kind word-groups are also classified according to their syntactic pattern into predicative and non-predicative groups. such word-groups, e.g. john works, he went that have a syntactic structure similar to that of a sentence, are classified as predicative, and all others as non-predicative. non-predicative word-groups may be subdivided according to the type of syntactic relation between the components into subordinative and coordinative. such word-groups as red flower, a man of wisdom and the like are termed subordinative in which flower and man are head-words and red, of wisdom are subordinated to them respectively and …

rm combined lexical meaning is not to imply that the meaning of the word-group is a mere additive result of all the lexical meaning of the component members. as a rule, the meaning of the component words are mutually dependant and the meaning of the word-group naturally predominates over the lexical meanings of its constituents. word-groups possess not only the lexical meaning, but also the meaning conveyed by the pattern of arrangement of their constituents. such word-groups as school grammar and grammar school are semantically different because of the difference in the pattern of arrangement of the component words. it is assumed that the structural pattern of word-group is the carrier of a certain semantic component which does not necessarily depend on the actual lexical meaning of its members. in the example discussed above school grammar the structural meaning of the word-group may be abstracted from the group and described …

t, week by another noun the sun we do not find any change in the structural meaning of the pattern. the group all the sun long functions semantically as a unit of time. the noun sun, however, included in the group continues to carry its own lexical meaning (not "a unit of time") which violates the norms of collocability in this word-group. ft follows that the meaning of the word-group is derived from the combined lexical meanings of its constituents and is inseparable from the meaning of the pattern of their arrangement. two basic linguistic factors which unite words into word-groups and which largely account for their combinability are lexical valency or collocability and grammatical valency. words are known to be used in lexical context, i.e. in combination with other words. the aptness of a word to appear in various combinations, with other words is qualified as its lexical collocability …
