noun🔗ShareクリティックA morpheme that functions like a word, but never appears as an independent word, instead being always attached to a following or preceding word (or, in some cases, within a surrounding word)."The contraction "'s" in "John's here" is a clitic because it acts like the word "is" but can't stand alone; it must attach to the noun "John". "「John's here」の短縮形「's」は、単独では存在できず、名詞「John」に付着しなければならないため、「is」という単語のように機能するクリティックです。grammarlanguagelinguisticswordphoneticsChat with AIVocabulary GamePractice Reading
