  Article (grammar) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An article is a word that is put next to a noun to indicate the type of reference being made to the noun.
In the etymologies of many languages, definite articles formerly were demonstrative pronouns or adjectives; compare the fate of the Latin demonstrative ille in the Romance languages, becoming French le, Spanish el, and Italian il, while indefinite articles originate or are same as the numeral for one.
In Swedish, planen is "the plan", and planet is "the plane", and a double definite article is possible, in which a free-standing article (det, den, de) and the definite article suffix are used together (det vita planet "the white plane").

 Grammatical Errors in the Qur'an   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In this stage, generally, grammatical rules are held by the writers, poets, orators and other users, as the standard for the correctness of their written or spoken words.
In the first stage, grammatical rules are derived from the usage of writers, poets etc., and every grammatical rule along with every deviation from such a rule, which can be substantiated by the usage of such writers and orators is held to be correct.
This tendency of accepting new grammatical rules because of any new styles introduced by modern writers is far less in peoples who are more conscious and conservative about maintaining the purity of their language, as compared to those who are not.

In the etymologies of many languages, definite articles formerly were demonstrative pronouns or adjective; compare the fate of the Latin demonstrative ille in the Romance languages, becoming French le, la and les, Spanish el and la, and Italian il, lo and la.
Ancient Greek uses the definite article with proper names: ho Iesous ("the Jesus"), and, optionally, before both a noun and each of its adjectives: ho páter ho agathòs (literally, "the father the good"; naturally, "the good father").
Finally, the use of the a and the articles in the English language are typically learned by native speakers as children before they are three years old.

 Grammatical conjunction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This definition may overlap with that of other parts of speech, so what constitutes a "conjunction" should be defined for each language.
In general, a conjunction is an invariable grammatical particle, and it may or may not stand between the items it conjoins.
The definition can also be extended to idiomatic phrases that behave as a unit with the same function as a single-word conjunction (as well as, provided that, etc.).

A and an function primarily as the indefinite forms of the grammatical article in the English language.
An is the older form, now used only before words starting with a vowel sound (and sometimes words beginning with an H sound in an unstressed syllable as in an historic event, but this usage is fading).
In addition to serving as an article, a and an are also used as synonyms for the number one, as in "make a wish", "a hundred".

 FrontPage magazine.com :: Chomsky's Linguistics Refuted by John Williamson
The Russian may have heard Americans use definite articles a myriad of times and yet the Russian says, “I have key to apartment.” and he would feel this to be grammatical, since the Russian language does not use articles, as English does.
And yet neither the child nor the Russian is speaking grammatical English, because English requires that subjects be in the nominative and that specificity be indicated by articles or other means.
Linguistic Inquiry article is a good example of that: the various scholars twisted themselves into knots trying to reconcile the properties of the ungrammatical Sentence A with various other sentences, some of which were grammatical and some of which were not.

On the other hand, in the second stage it is normally the accepted rules (and the accepted deviations from these rules) that substantiate the correctness of a writer's, poet's, orator's or anyone else's use.
The argument above, substantiates the fact that such deviations were and are known to be existent in the works of, at least the poets of the pre-Islamic era, and therefore cannot and could not have been termed as errors by anyone well versed with the language and its literature.
Their refusal is based on two reasons: (1) these traditions are not verbal narrations of the speech of the prophet, rather only their content has been narrated [in the words of the narrators].

Laying down of 'Grammatical Rules' of any language does not and cannot precede speaking and comprehension of that language by its native speakers.

 Jesus Christ, Our Great God & Savior - A Short Commentary of John 1:1.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
If "Theos" without the article is always translated as God by the New World Translators themselves (except for John 1:1, 18), then the argument that "Theos" should be translated as "a god" because it lacks a definite article fails.
The absence of the article does not indicate that John is not referencing the one true God.
That the same grammatical structure may be and often is translated (even by the New World Translators) with a definite meaning is a fact you would not know from reading their explanation for why they translate John 1:1 as they do.

 Specific Language Impairment
One of the hallmarks of SLI is a delay or deficit in the use of function morphemes (e.g., the, a, is) and other grammatical morphology (e.g., plural -s, past tense -ed).
Some researchers claim that SLI children's difficulty with grammatical morphology is due to delays or difficulty in acquiring a specific underlying linguistic mechanism.
Laurence Leonard suggests that these deficit may underlie difficulties in perceiving grammatical forms (e.g., "the", "is"), which are generally brief in duration (Leonard et al., 1997).

 American National Biography Online
Here and in a classic article, "Grammatical Prerequisites to Phonemic Analysis," in Word 3 (1947): 155-72, Pike argued for the use of grammatical information in arriving at the phonemic analysis of a language.
In 1948 Pike was appointed to the linguistics faculty at the University of Michigan, a position he held concurrently with the presidency of SIL until he retired from both positions in 1979.
An interest in grammar, first apparent in the article "Taxemes and Immediate Constituents," in Language 19 (1943): 65-82, became the focus of his work in the 1940s and 1950s, resulting in the development of tagmemics, an extension of concepts and methods used in phonology to the analysis of grammar.
