Hi, could we say that phrase is the same as constituent ? Cuz I'm a little confused..it might be stupid question but I'm not sure if I can treat it as one and the same... ;/
Anon - You are correct; they are not one and the same. Here is the definition of constituent from thefreedictionary.com: (Linguistics / Grammar) Linguistics a word, phrase, or clause forming a part of a larger construction.
P.S. I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as a stupid question; so, thank you for asking.
