SENTENCE WORD. An occasional term in
WORD-FORMATION for a
SENTENCE which serves as a WORD or part of a word, such as
never say die, attributively in ‘a
never-say-die attitude’, suffixed in
never-Say-die-ism, or as an often allegorical name:
Captain Never-Say-Die,
She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed. The attributive use is the commonest. In writing and print, the constituents are often linked by hyphens:
an aren't-I-just-the-cutest-thing smile;
her I-don't-understand-you-look. However, they may also come between quotation marks (
a Toyota ‘Drop Everything’ Sales Event), be capitalized (
the I Did It My Way approach), or mix hyphens and capitals (
the great Support-Your-Local-Hostage binge). Sentence words often begin with verbs in the imperative mood:
a Rent-a-Car contract;
a get-up-and-go Britain in place of a sit-back-and-wait-for-it culture. Compare
PHRASE WORD.
