'''Particle''' is a general term for a type words that are not major [[part of speech|parts of speech]] (nouns, verbs, adjectives) and are not inflected.

===Comments===
*"In nearly all grammars adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions and interjections are treated bas four distinct "parts of speech," the difference between them being thus put on a par with that between substantives, adjectives, pronouns, and verbs. But in this way the dissimilarities between these words are grossly exaggerated, and their evident similarities correspondingly obscured, and I therefore propose to revert to the old terminology by which these four classes are treated as one called "particles." " (Jespersen 1924:87)

 '''Particle''' is a general term for a type words that are not major [[part of speech|parts of speech]] ([[noun]]s, [[verb]]s, [[adjective]]s) and are not [[inflection|inflected]].
 The term is also used to refer to an element, often a preposition, which combines with an existing verb to form what looks like a [[complex verb]]. Verb-particle combinations are quite common in [[German]], [[Dutch]], [[Polish]].

+== Example ==
+The Dutch particle ''uit'', which is also a preposition, combines with the verb ''lachen'' in (i).
   (i)  Ik hoorde dat Jan zijn moeder uitlachte

 In this example the verb ''lachte'' is preposed under [[Verb Second]], and the particle ''uit'' is left behind.
