A series of words in connected speech or writing, forming the grammatically complete expression of a single thought; in popular use often (= period n. 16), such a portion of a composition or utterance as extends from one full stop to another. In Grammar, the verbal expression of a proposition, question, command, or request, containing normally a subject and a predicate (though either of these may be omitted by ellipsis).In grammatical use, though not in popular language, a ‘sentence’ may consist of a single word, as in Latin algeo ‘I am cold’, where the subject (= I) is expressed by the ending of the verb. English grammarians usually recognize three classes: simple sentences, complex sentences (which contain one or more subordinate clauses), and compound sentences (which have more than one subject or predicate).

Philol. Soc. 1952 6 The name ‘sentence particle’ (satzpartikel) was given by Kuhn to all unstressed and weak-stressed words which modify not one part of the sentence but the whole of it, and are therefore syntactically independent parts of the sentence. sentence silver n.
