👉 In linguistics, "nongrounding" is a term used to describe a word that has no direct meaning and instead conveys an indirect or figurative meaning. It can be defined as any word that has a different meaning from its literal equivalent. For example: - "I'm not feeling well" - This phrase could be considered nongrounding because it uses the word "not" to convey a negative emotion, which is not directly associated with the verb "feel." -
