1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning
- Structure:
語句(ごく) combines word語and phrase句to cover a word or short expression. - Basic usage: It is used for unfamiliar textbook language and for replacing difficult expressions with simpler ones.
2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions
- Words and phrases, not full sentences only
語句spans single lexical items and short multiword units, so its scope is broader than “word” but narrower than a complete passage.
