There is a difference between the common use of the term phrase and its technical use in linguistics. In common usage, a phrase is usually a group of words with some special idiomatic meaning or other significance, such as all rights reserved, economical with the truth, kick the bucket, and the like.
ther a noun or a noun phrase, or (b) pronouns replace phrases. Again, (b) is more general, but it does require us to specify when words can function as phrases. A single word may be a phrase when it is the head of that phrase. The head of a phrase is the phraseâs central element; any other words (or phrases) in the phrase orient to it, either by modifying it or complementing it. The head determines the phraseâs grammatical category: if the head is a noun, the phrase is a noun phrase; if the head is a verb, the phrase is a verb phrase, and so on. The head can also determine the internal grammar of the phrase: if the head is a noun, then it may be modified by an article; if the head is. a transitive verb, it must be complemented by a direct object.
