Term Component Section

Description

One of the morphemic elements, words, or contiguous strings from which a polynomial term is formed.

In some languages, such as German or English, it is frequently unnecessary to distinguish information about the individual components making up a polynomial term. In other languages, such as French or Spanish, it is important to be able to include information such as gender for the individual words used in constructing a multiword term because this information is necessary when using the term in texts.
