No. In this case, "phrase" is being used as a noun, not a verb. Therefore, this is a sentence fragement because it doesn't express a complete thought.

You're left trying to figure out "A phrase is what?"

In order to make this a complete thought you should add the predicate.

Do you just mean "phrases" in general. If so, then NO once again. A phrase is a group of words which contains neither a subject nor a verb.
