| 1 |
[ noun ] (grammar,linguistics) a position in a grammatical linguistic construction in which a variety of alternative units are interchangeable
Examples "he developed a version of slot grammar" Used in print (A.L. Kroeber, "Semantic Contribution of Lexicostatistic...)The differentiation however is not very_much greater , as shown by the fact that Athabascan shows 3.46 stems per meaning slot as against 2.75 for Yokuts , with a slightly greater number of languages represented in our sample : 24 as against 21 . If word_classes differ in their resistance or liability to stem replacement within meaning slot , it is conceivable that individual meanings also differ with fair consistence trans lingually . Had Hoijer substituted for his 15 adjectival slots 15 good animal and plant items , his rate of stem replacement would have been lower and the age of Athabascan language separation smaller .
