Pojeme is a term used in some linguistic and computational semiotics discussions to describe a proposed unit of semantic content. It is defined as the smallest unit of meaning that cannot be further decomposed without changing its contribution to the overall sense of a representation in a given context. In this sense, a pojeme sits between morphemes and sememes in terms of granularity, aiming to capture fine-grained meaning elements that are not always encoded by single morphemes or lexical items.
Origin and status: The term pojeme has appeared in niche theoretical discussions and is not part of
Relation to other units: Pojemes are oriented toward semantics rather than phonology or overt linguistic form.
