comma splice (plural comma splices)

  1. (grammar) Two independent clauses combined into a run-on sentence with only a comma between them.

Usage notes

  • In English, the use of a comma splice is generally considered to be an error. It is better to separate two related sentences with a semicolon, to join them with a conjunction, or to write two separate sentences.
