In linguistics, "catena" refers to a sequence of words that functions as a meaningful unit within a sentence, even if that sequence does not correspond to a traditional syntactic constituent like a phrase or clause. The term is often used in the context of dependency grammar or construction grammar, where the relationships between words are highlighted. A catena can be formed by words that are connected through dependency relationships, rather than being contiguous in the syntactic structure.
