Definition of a Sentence
• Indian linguistic theory set out
three requirements for a string of words to be considered
a sentence: (1) (ākānksā) the words
are members of suitable grammatical categories with appropriate
morphology (inflection), (2) (yogyatā) the words
must be 'semantically appropriate' to one another, (3)
(samnidhi) and the words must be uttered as a concatenation.
