English[edit]

Etymology[edit]

interphrasal +‎ -ly

Pronunciation[edit]

IPA(key): /ɪn.tɚ.ˈfɹeɪ.zʌ.li/

Adverb[edit]

interphrasally (comparative more interphrasally, superlative most interphrasally)

  1. In an interphrasal way.
    • 2014, Michael Sharwood Smith, John Truscott, The Multilingual Mind: A Modular Processing Perspective:
      For example, marking agreement inside a single phrase, via a process of unification, between a noun and an adjacent adjective in a noun phrase, will be less demanding in processing terms than a procedure that requires exchanging information 'inter-phrasally', that is, across two separate phrases (an NP and a VP for example) and so these local dependencies should emerge before the longer distance ones.
