 | | In the context of search engines and other computer programs, a phrase is a sequence of words, as opposed to just a set of words. | | | Adjectival phrase with an adjective as head (e.g. | | | For example the house at the end of the street (example 1) is a phrase. |

| | The Phrase |
| | English is a language with five classes of phrases, noun phrases, verb phrases, adjective phrases, adverb phrases, and prepositional phrases. | | | This phrase is a 'nonheaded' construction in English since no one constituent functions as the center of the phrase, the center on which the other elements depend. | | | Each phrase, remember, is a merger of both form and function, and, as complex as it looks, the diagram illustrates only some of the complexities of the noun phrase in English. |

| | The Gerund Phrase |
| | Be careful not to mistake a gerund phrase for a present participle phrase. | | | The difference is that a gerund phrase will always function as a noun while a present participle phrase has the job of modifying another word in the sentence. | | | Gerund phrases always function as nouns, so they will be subjects, subject complements, or objects in the sentence. |

| | The FrameNet Project -- Identifying Phrase Types |
| | In choosing the phrase types and grammatical functions to use, the major criterion was whether or not a particular label might figure into a description of the grammatical requirements of one of the target words of the project. | | | PP is assigned to ordinary prepositional phrases with nominal objects and to particles, the latter under the assumption that particles can be regarded as prepositional phrases which lack objects. | | | Annotators are advised to consider both syntactic and semantic criteria to determine if the automatic classification of gerundive verb phrases is correct. |

| | Phrase marks |
| | It is possible to "nest" phrase marks (i.e., have one phrase on a subset of the chords of another phrase). | | | The dotted or dashed styles might be used for phrase marks that were added by an editor rather than the composer, or to show a phrase that doesn't apply to all verses. | | | It then draws a phrase mark between them, shaping it to be out of the way of other things as much as possible. |

| | Phrase Searches |
| | However, phrase searching can also hinder success if terms are combined as phrases that are not indexed in the search tool or are not used in the full text articles. | | | On the other hand, phrase searches will sometimes decrease search efficiency if the phrase used is not indexed in the tool or present in the full text articles. | | | For example, the phrase "how to negotiate with angry employees" may not return results in a business database, while a different type of search (i.e. |

| | Verbals: Gerunds, Participles, and Infinitives |
| | The gerund phrase functions as the object of the preposition for. | | | A participial phrase is set off with commas when it: a) comes at the beginning of a sentence, b) interrupts a sentence as a nonessential element, or c) comes at the end of a sentence and is separated from the word it modifies. | | | If a participial phrase comes at the end of a sentence, a comma usually precedes the phrase if it modifies an earlier word in the sentence but not if the phrase directly follows the word it modifies. |

| | Phrase References |
| | In general, you can only assign a phrase from a passive library (passive phrase) to a phrase from an active library (active phrase) as a phrase reference. | | | Phrase references can not be defined manually between phrases in passive libraries. | | | Using phrase references, you create a link between phrases whose contents are similar or identical. |

| | Phrase Searching |
| | Phrase searching is used to search for words as phrases. | | | In some systems, if you enter two or more words in a row, they will be searched as a phrase. | | | Notice you retrieved less because by putting quotes around the two words you force the database to search that exact phrase. |
