Mismatches between grammatical and phonological words
The criteria of grammatical and phonological word do not necessarily coincide, as can be shown by compound nouns in Georgian (Kartvelian, Georgia). Consider for example the following compound, constructed from the noun roots t’ól ‘person of the same age group’ and amxánag ‘comrade’:
Based on considerations of cohesiveness and fixed order, this is a single grammatical word. Neither t’ól nor the suffix -i may occur on its own. Thus, the suffix -i is obligatorily an affix, and the root t’ól re quires its own inflectional suffixes when it appears independently as a fully-fledged noun. Similarly, the order of the elements of the word is fixed: the meaning ‘comrades of the same age’ is expressed by the form t’ól-amxánag-i, not (for example) *i-t’ól-amxánag or *t’ól-i-amxánag. T’ól-amxánag-i thus conforms to the criteria of cohesiveness and fixed order and constitutes a grammatical word. From the point of view of stress-assignment, however, (15) is two phonological words: Georgian phonological words take just a single primary stress per word (Harris 2002: 232–233), whereas t’ól-amxánag-i has preserved the stress of both of its original noun elements. Such mismatches between grammatical and phonological words are by no means the norm in the languages of the world. Nevertheless, their existence illustrates the problematic nature of the category ‘word’, which seems at first glance to be an entirely intuitive and straightforward concept.
