a. 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).

1936 J. R. Kantor Objective Psychol. Gram. iii. xvii. 241 Those grammarians who call the verb a sentence-forming word, a phenomenon word, or an Aussagewort, also pay tribute to its action-referring character and save themselves from a too great stress of time.
sentence-initial n.
ΚΠ
1964 Language 40 6 Mere sentence-initial position of Wh does not suffice to differentiate between inversion and noninversion.
1978 Language 54 85 Sentence initial subjects in Japanese and English may be viewed as most distant from the verb.

1916 E. A. Sonnenschein New Eng. Gram. 33 Several..adverbs..may be used to qualify the sentence as a whole; when so used they are called sentence-adverbs.

1934 R. C. Priebsch & W. E. Collinson German Lang. ii. xi. 445 German has one Greek characteristic which makes it neater and fuller of expressive shades than English, viz. the use of sentence-particles (ja, doch..etc.) and their cumulations (ja doch..etc.).
1953 Trans. 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.
