What is a Wall?

All in all a wall is both. It is still considered a wall whether it's only studded or if it has the drywall covering it.

Well if you were to walk forward and suddenly came to a stop running into something I think I would call out a wall no matter what it's made out of.

In my opinion a wall is a complete assembly unless you are perhaps talking about 'framing a wall'.

Would our friend Donald be happy with a border wall with 16" openings - likely not but then again is he the expert to ask?

The studs can be considered an element of the wall. A wall is complete when it serves its purpose as a seperation. If you have studs, it's an incomplete wall, the drywall will complete it as a wall.

I agree totally with Riad. The studs are a element of the making of a wall or the skeleton of the wall. It does not act as a barrier around a room , because you can still

past through the in complete wall. If you place paneling, drywall or plywood on at least one side of this framework it would act as a barrier and be considered a wall.

All depends on the context of the word itself. A wall can be built of many different materials such as the most common 2 by 4 Wood studs or 2 x 4 steel studs. Most people would think there would be some sort of finish on the two-by-fours to complete it as a wall such as dry wall paneling Etc from a framers point of view once a two-by-four wall is in place it's a wall. Walls that are interior are normally called a partition wall. Hope this helps you out. Jeff
