Abstract
This contribution aims to introduce Wegener’s defense of the notion of Wortsatz (word sentence) as a construction having a sentence status within the debate about the notion and the definition of sentence and its structure that developed in Germany during the second half of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the 20th century. This period was marked by different approaches towards this issue. In his work, Wegener foreshadowed some of the topics which would be central in the later pragmatic theory of communication, but on the other side he still related to the psychologistic view of the sentence structure.
