grammar

"The study of the building-block structure, the inherent properties of the parts, and the relationships among them has traditionally been called grammar." (#60 3453)
"This tradition is epitomized by the linguistics of Noam Chomsky, who has steadfastly maintained that grammar is a matter of pure form, independent of meaning or human understanding. Any aspect of language that involves human understanding is for Chomsky by definition outside the study of grammar in this sense." (#60 3465)
