Significat (Anglès)

Noun

1. A group of words that contains a subject and a verb; it may be part of a sentence or may constitute the whole sentence, depending on the syntax in each instance.
2. A verb, its necessary grammatical arguments, and any adjuncts affecting them.
3. A verb along with its subject and their modifiers. If a clause provides a complete thought on its own, then it is an independent (superordinate) clause; otherwise, it is dependent (subordinate). (Independent clauses can be sentences; they can also be part of a sentence. Dependent clauses can only be part of a sentence.)
4. A distinct part of a contract, a will or another legal document.
5. A constituent (component) of a statement or query.

Verb

To amend (a bill of lading or similar document).
