Words are a fairl
y intuitive construct in everyday language. Although both adults and chi
ldren can readily identify what a word is (or what they perceive a word
to be), it is actually quite difficult to describe the linguistic proper
ties of 'words'. In this talk, we'll examine some of the key properties
of 'words', showing that their internal structure is far more complex th
an commonly assumed. A second aim of this talk is to demonstrate how the
se theoretical hypotheses concerning the structure of words (i.e., morph
ology) can successfully be integrated into other areas of research in li
nguistics (i.e., corpus linguistics) and language science (i.e., behavio
