Random House Webster's College Dictionary defines sentence as "a structurally independent grammatical unit of one or more words, in speech often preceded and followed by pauses and in writing begun with a capital letter and ended with a period or other end punctuation, typically consisting of a subject and a predicate containing a finite verb and espressing a statement, question, request, command, or exclamation..." Note that as to the presence of a verb they say "typically," not necessarily. One of their examples of a sentence is "Stop!"
