Learning is the process of acquiring new, or modifying existing, knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences.

The ability to learn is possessed by humans, animals, and some machines; there is also evidence for some kind of learning in some plants.

Some learning is immediate, induced by a single event (e.g. being burned by a hot stove), but much skill and knowledge accumulates from repeated experiences.

The changes induced by learning often last a lifetime, and it is hard to distinguish learned material that seems to be "lost" from that which cannot be retrieved.

In linguistics, a word is the smallest element that can be uttered in isolation with objective or practical meaning.

In non-functional linguistics, a sentence is a textual unit consisting of one or more words that are grammatically linked.

In functional linguistics, a sentence is a unit of written texts delimited by graphological features such as upper case letters and markers such as periods, question marks, and exclamation marks.

This notion contrasts with a curve, which is delimited by phonologic features such as pitch and loudness and markers such as pauses; and with a clause, which is a sequence of words that represents some process going on throughout time.

This entry is mainly about sentence in its non-functional sense, though much work in functional linguistics is indirectly cited or considered such as the categories of Speech Act Theory.
