You are missing ':'. I think I have not correctly quoted your
text above because I think you are not posting plain text.
Please use plain text only on a mailing list.

The following works:

" abc def ghi

function! WordEcho()
   echo expand("<cWORD>")
endfunction

nnoremap <silent> <F8> :call WordEcho()<CR>

Put cursor on 'def' and press the F8 key.
