It is a form that cannot be divided into any smaller units that can be used on their own to convey meaning”. The Oxford Online Dictionary (2010) gave the definition of word: “a single distinct meaningful element of speech or writing, used to form sentences with others”. And Harmer (1990) even compared the vocabulary to “important organs” as well as “blood and flesh”.
