	Grammar - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		By the grammar of a language is meant either the relations borne by the words of a sentence and by sentences themselves one to another, or the systematized exposition of these.
		Grammar may accordingly be divided into the three departments of composition or " word-building," syntax and accidence, by which is meant an exposition of the means adopted by language for expressing the relations of grammar when recourse is not had to composition or simple position.
		Universal grammar is sometimes known as " the metaphysics of language," and it has to decide such questions as the nature of gender or of the verb, the true purport of the genitive relation, or the origin of grammar itself.

	Comparative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In grammar, the comparative is the form of an adjective or adverb which denotes the degree or grade by which a person, thing, or other entity has a property or quality greater or less in extent than that of another.
		The structure of a comparative consists normally of the positive form of the adjective or adverb, plus the suffix -er, or (especially in the case of longer words) the modifier "more" (or "less") before the adjective or adverb.
		The null comparative is a comparative in which the starting point for comparison is not stated.

	A Comparative Latin Grammar by Cyril Babaev
		Of all three, Latin is the only which is studied well, but the comparative analysis within the subgroup is often impossible.
		Grammars often demonstrate a language as it is, giving facts, giving charts and words but without any historical and comparative analysis of what the language is like from the point of view of Indo-European linguistics.
		Comparative analysis shows that rhotacism usually went further and could act also at the end of the word.

		But surely he does not mean that a comparative grammar is a prerequisite to a reconstruction; it is PART of a reconstruction.
		The point, pace Karl, is not whether we can write a comparative grammar; the point is whether the actual, substantive proposals regarding phonology, lexicon, and as much grammar as might be available (very little in some language families) are valid or not.

		Also introduced is a new model of subsegmental phonology within Optimality Theory that differs from standard Autosegmental Phonology both in its limited use of representational distinctions and in the form of the grammar to which the representations submit.
		The research focuses particularly on oating features and ghost segments, and demonstrates that the current understanding of segmental representation fails to characterize the full range of subsegmental phenomena found cross-linguistically.
		Zoll proposes instead an analysis in which the grammar derives the variety of surface phenomena from a single underlying representation.

		The generator for the target language will use the information in the representation and in the target language grammar to construct a target language sentence with a word order that it is grammatically appropriate for that language.
		However, it is important to realise that the design of the comparative grammar anticipates the possibility that the structures could be very different indeed if the differences between the source and its target language translation are very great.
		In general, the size and complexity of a comparative grammar can be reduced by increasing the depth of the parsing towards more abstract levels of representation.

		Beyond the study of Chaozhou and southern Min, the significance of the research lies in its contribution to the comparative study of Chinese dialects.
		Southern Min dialects are of great interest for the comparative grammar of Chinese dialects: interrogatives, comparatives and aspect, for example, are all known to differ substantially from both Mandarin and Cantonese.

		Adverbs form their comparative degree the same way as neuter adjectives, with the suffix -ius: altius 'higher', felicius 'happier'.
		For example, the comparative form of adjectives definitely had something in common with the dual number of nouns.
		The perfect form of the verb was connected with the neuter gender - it is hard to prove basing on the late IE languages but clearly seen in Homeric Greek or Vedic Aryan.
