glosseme
Where it comes from
From gloss- + -eme, coined by Louis Hjelmslev and Hans Jørgen Uldall in the 1930s.
noun glossemes
- The smallest irreducible unit of both the content and expression planes of language; the basic unit of language in the theory of glossematics. We can now for a moment leave Hjelmslev's own conception of such a system—based upon glossematic formal definitions—and ask: to which degree can this system of glossemes be defended from a general phonological or phonetic point of view?
