quotation
Something that is said or expressed is an idea or information that is spoken, signed, or written. A statement.
Tacit defines something implied but not spoken.
To paraphrase refers to the rewording or using different words to express something that was written or spoken by a particular writer.
Written language refers to text that is physically recorded on a surface, like paper or a screen, for communication. Spoken language, on the other hand, involves using words and sounds to communicate verbally in real-time. Written language allows for more permanence and the ability to convey complex ideas, while spoken language allows for immediate interaction and feedback.
Succinct is something that is written or spoken very clearly. A good sentence would be, her speech was excellent and succinct.
No, the noun 'words' is a concrete noun, a word for something written (seen) or spoken (heard); a word for physical things.
