Longest word in English
The identity of thelongest word in Englishdepends upon thedefinitionof what constitutes awordin theEnglish language, as well as how length should be compared. In addition to words derived naturally fromthe language's roots(without any known intentional invention), English allowsnew wordsto be formed bycoinageandconstruction;place namesmay be considered words;technical termsmay be arbitrarily long. Length may be understood in terms oforthographyand number of writtenletters, or (less commonly)phonologyand the number ofphonemes.
