Hypostasis (linguistics)
In linguistics, a hypostasis (from the Greek word ὑπόστασις meaning ''foundation'', ''base'' or ''that which stands behind'') is a relationship between a name and a known quantity, as a cultural personification (i.e. objectification with personality) of an entity or quality. It often connotes the personification of typically elemental powers, such as wind and fire, or human life, fertility, and death. In descriptive linguistics, the term was first introduced by Leonard Bloomfield to account for uses of synsemantic words as autosemantic in sentences such as ''I'm tired of your ifs and buts''. In this sense, the usage meaning of the word is referred to as a whole.
