|_ Feature System
Definition:
An utterance is divided into parts, which are assigned to word classes and then subclassified in terms of their "accidents" or properties. [Blevins 2006: 390] The properties, also referred to as features or categories, express what is shared by different linguistic elements, as opposed to what is idiosyncratic. [Kibort 2008d: 1]
