Another problem with grammatical, or syntactic, definitions of the sentence is that not all sentences--even in English--are divisible into subject and predicate. a) Emotive sentences such as Gee!

Common Idioms and Phrases: Meanings and Origins Has someone ever informed you that they are working the graveyard shift? Perhaps you have also heard someone refer to a person as a dead ringer? What about when you hear someone say, "Ahhh, saved by the bell!" What do these phrases have in common? For this, too, we go back to England. Sounds like a simple enough solution. This obviously was an unsettling find. In fact, there was so much hype about this for awhile that there were quite an array of devices invented so that the undead could escape their coffins in case they buried prematurely. For clarification purposes, there has been no actual documented case of any person ringing the bell and thus being saved. It has been said that the term "graveyard shift" simply came from nautical origins when a person had the night shift on a vessel at sea and that the shift was named such for the extreme quietness and loneliness of the shift. Whatever the case, it is certainly interesting to ponder over.
