	Formal grammar
		An analytic grammar, in contrast, is a set of rules that assume an arbitrary string to be given as input, and which successively reduce or analyze that input string yielding a final boolean, "yes/no" result indicating whether or not the input string is a member of the language described by the grammar.
		In regular grammars, the left hand side is again only a single non-terminal symbol, but now the right-hand side is also restricted: It may be nothing, or a single terminal symbol, or a single terminal symbol followed by a non-terminal symbol, but nothing else.
		Affix grammars and attribute grammars allow rewrite rules to be augmented with semantic attributes and operations, useful both for increasing grammar expressiveness and for constructing practical language translation tools.

	Grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Grammar is the study of the rules governing the use of a language.
		The subfields of modern grammar are phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics.
		A descriptive grammar is a grammar that describes the language as it is actually used by people, regardless of whether prescriptive grammars would consider a construction correct or not.

		Descriptive grammar -- an attempt to describe the language as it is being used, regardless of whether it is considered correct or not.
		Descriptive grammar takes the approach that speakers of a language follow that language's grammar as a common convention of mutual intelligibility.

	GRAMMAR FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Grammar is the study of the rule s governing the use of a language.
		Prescriptive grammars are usually based on the prestige_dialect s of a speech_community, and often specifically condemn certain constructions which are common only among lower socioeconomic groups, such as the use of " ain't " and double_negative s in English.
		The formal study of grammar is an important part of education from a young age through advanced learning, though the rules taught in school s are not a "grammar" in the sense most linguists use the term, as they are often prescriptive rather than descriptive.

	LangX - A NEW TEMPLATE FOR THE INTERNATIONAL AUXILIARY LANGUAGE - Grammar
		Analytic grammar facilitates the laboriously learnt second-language, painfully acquired in isolation or small groups, much more than the mother-tongue absorbed amid the varied life of a speech community; the analytic sentence parses itself for the benefit of the busy or discouraged student.
		Analytic grammar is synthetic grammar at an earlier stage of development.
		This is the grammar of context itself: where a thing is immediately obvious there is no need to define the subject (article, noun etc.) in terms of relationship or action (verb, adverb) with or towards the object (preposition, adjective, noun etc.).

		English grammar is the study of grammar in the English language.
		Grammars of English can either be prescriptive or descriptive ; this article attempts to be primarily descriptive.
		Grammar is to do with which words go where and how they are separated (e.g., by commas) rather than the actual words being used.

		Generative formal grammars are identical to Lindenmayer system s (L-systems), except that L-systems are not affected by a distinction between terminals and nonterminals, L-systems have restrictions on the order in which the rules are applied, and L-systems can run forever, generating an infinite sequence of strings.
		In regular grammar s, the left hand side is again only a single non-terminal symbol, but now the right-hand side is also restricted: It may be nothing, or a single terminal symbol, or a single terminal symbol followed by a non-terminal symbol, but nothing else.
		Affix Grammars and attribute grammar s allow rewrite rules to be augmented with semantic attributes and operations, useful both for increasing grammar expressiveness and for constructing practical language translation tools.

	Analytic language - Enpsychlopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-21)
		An analytic language (or isolating language) is a language in which the vast majority of morphemes are free morphemes and considered to be full-fledged "words".
		Analytic languages often express abstract concepts using independent words, while synthetic languages tend to use adpositions, affixes and internal modifications of roots for the same purpose.
		Analytic languages tend to rely heavily on context and pragmatic considerations for the interpretation of sentences, since they don't specify as much as synthetic languages in terms of agreement and cross-reference between different parts of the sentence.

	Science Fair Projects - Top-down parsing language
		Top-Down Parsing Language (TDPL) is a type of analytic formal grammar developed by Alexander Birman in the early 1970s in order to study formally the behavior of a common class of practical top-down parsers that support a limited form of backtracking.
		A TDPL grammar can be viewed as an extremely minimalistic formal representation of a recursive descent parser, in which each of the nonterminals schematically represents a parsing function.
		It was recently discovered that a GTDPL grammar can be reduced to an equivalent TDPL grammar that recognizes the same language, although the process is not straightforward and may greatly increase the number of rules required.

	New and Ongoing Issues in Education and Practice
		Traditional analytic shape grammars were intended for a diverse audience from historians to designers who use the grammars for educational purposes--to understand a particular style.
		However, unlike pure analytic grammars, these grammars are intended for an audience who use the grammars for practical design purposes as well as educational ones.

	Linguistics at School session:
		At the end of the 20th century, grammar flared up on the political stage when the New Labour government asserted that explicit knowledge of grammar had significant bearing on the development of pupils’ writing skills and, based on that assertion, designed an English syllabus.
		The session seemed timely: grammar had now been firmly embedded in the primary school curriculum: the National Literacy Strategy had been running for nearly two years, and a similar framework (DfEE 2000a) was about to begin to be piloted nationally at the first stage of selected secondary schools (ages 11-14).
		One should bear in mind, however, that their curriculum space is too limited for a comprehensive study of grammar and that, in any case, they do not need to learn as much about the grammatical system as budding linguists do.

	MSU-LGCLL:: Anatoliy A. Polikarpov - Some Factors and Regularities of Analytic/Synthetic Development of Language System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-21)
		First, affixes, grammar words and grammar expressions are difficult for use, due to specific grammatical idiomaticity present in their meanings.
		The evidence can be of two main kinds - (1) for features of different historical stages of some language developping to more analytic structure and (2) for features of several coexisting (modern) languages which arrived to their different modern typological state in the result of different development in differed historical conditions.
		It is also important to note that the degree of relative shortening of words in a more analytic language should be approximately the same as the degree to which its sentences and texts on the whole are lengthier (in number of running words expressing some certain content) than sentences of a more synthetic language.

	Essay on Language
		For linguists, the "grammar" of a language is what the native speakers of the language know about their language.
		Although from an analytic viewpoint they "know" a language as well as anyone, speakers of non-standard varieties of language are often assumed by the folk model to be language-deficient.
		They assume that deviation from standard language forms is evidence for a lack of language, and that children "have no grammar." The analytic model of language tells us that all normal human children "have grammar" but that grammar is their own knowledge of their native language, not the rules written down in school books.

	Parsing expression grammar - Art History Online Reference and Guide
		A parsing expression grammar, or PEG, is a type of analytic formal grammar that describes a formal language in terms of a set of rules for recognizing strings in the language.
		A parsing expression grammar essentially represents a recursive descent parser in a pure schematic form that only expresses syntax and is independent of the way an actual parser might be implemented or what it might be used for.
		Unlike in a context-free grammar or other generative grammars, in a parsing expression grammar there must be exactly one rule in the grammar having a given nonterminal on its left-hand side.

		"Grammar," for most, means "the rules I'm supposed to follow to avoid looking like a dolt in print." Many of these rules, as Finegan (1980) and Baron (1982) have shown, were made up by verbal critics and prescriptive grammarians who, as experts, were usually self-appointed.

	Ethnolinguistic Notes, Series 4, no. 24
		A language is analytic to the extent that the meanings of its expressions can be determined from their composition.
		But the increased availability of analytic processing offers another benefit: it makes it easier for these outsiders to encode ideas for which no nativelike encoding exists at all, ideas that may be quite exotic to the culture normally encoded in the particular language.
		Accordingly, a lag between the circumstances of use and the relative “simplicity” or “complexity” of the language is to be expected; a language that was insider oriented and relied heavily on holistic processing might still not be “complex”.

		It subsequently seemed desirable to extend this scheme to include methods for representing logical grammar, and to refine both surface and logical aspects of the annotation scheme by applying it to a larger body of texts.
		It should be noted also that the scheme has emerged through a process of detailed critical discussion of analytic standards by some ten people over a decade; apart from myself, the leading role in the early years of these discussions was taken by Geoffrey Leech, whose standing as an English grammarian needs no emphasis.
		Each data file has a line (terminating in a newline character) for each word of the original text; but ëwordsí for SUSANNE purposes are often smaller than words in the ordinary orthographic sense, for instance punctuation marks and the apostrophe-s suffix are treated as separate words and assigned lines of their own.
