	grammar - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		The list of morphemes and their meanings (see semantics) in a language is usually not part of a grammar but is isolated in a dictionary or vocabulary.
		The analysis of syntax is also concerned with the ordering of the grammatical sequences within the phrase, with agreement between concomitant entities (i.e., agreement of number and gender between subject and verb, noun and pronoun), and with case, as mandated by the position and function of a word within a sentence.
		Grammatical analysis was further developed in the 20th cent.

		Grammatical rules were formulated, perhaps, for the benefit of 'immigrants' or as teaching aids to students of a language.
		In this process of delineating grammatical rules, the phonetic and morphological structures of each of the Indian languages were codified and frozen as 'rules' of the language.

		Another aspect of being able to compare our sources to each other is by making sure the data we are comparing is compatible--for example, the transcription systems either have to be the same or be normalized during processing.
		An important consequence of putting basic grammatical information in the preface is that prefaces are not specific to dictionaries, but are allowed in the TEI P3 guidelines to appear in any kind of document.

	LINGUIST List 9.467: State of Comparative Linguistics
		But their lesson is the opposite of what the self-appointed critics of comparative linguistics (such as Thomason and Kaufman and so on) seem to think.
		1) grammatical reconstruction is more complex and its principles are less well understood or agreed to than phonological reconstruction (of vocabulary), 2) areal studies show that grammatical features diffuse across languages differentiated and classified on the basis of lexical origin.
		It remains unclear, at best, and is probably false, at worst, that bundling of grammatical isoglosses necessarily circumscribes sets of languages which descend from a single common ancestor but have since been differentially injected with lexical material from other languages.

		And we need to be able to compare more than two, and note that one is the biggest, slowest, highest or newest of them all.
		X besar daripada Y 'X is big compared to Y' or 'X is bigger than Y' But the language can also modify the adjective as we do, using a number of particles to show not just the two degrees of comparison 'more' and 'most' but also 'ever more', 'very', 'too', 'too little' and others.
		Since some means of comparing people and things are found in all languages, we can conclude that this has been part of language from its first dawning, and therefore a fundamental aspect of human consciousness.

	Linguist List - Book Information
		It is based on a sample of over 100 dialects of Romani, collected and processed via the Romani Morpho-Syntax (RMS) Database - a comparative grammatical outline in electronic form, constructed by the authors between 2000-2004.
		Romani dialects provide an exciting sample of language change phenomena: they are oral languages, which have been separated and dispersed from some six centuries, and are strongly shaped by the influence of diverse contact languages.
		In what is referred to as 'dynamic', such prioritisation is influenced by an interplay of factors: the values within a category and the conceptual notions that they represent, the grammatical structure onto which the category values are mapped, and the kind of strategy that is applied in order to prioritise certain value.

	The Mavens' Word of the Day (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		I say that adjectives either come equipped with their comparative and superlative forms or they don't.
		If these inflected forms are not shown, it means the word can be compared only with more and most, or the word has "absolute" senses which do not sensibly allow comparison.
		I had thought that adjectives ending in -ful, -less, -al, -ive, and -ous, and adjectives formed with -ed or -ing are always compared with more/most.

		Grammatical tagging schemes range along a spectrum from formal (morphological) to functional classifications.
		For grammatical searches it is more valuable to set the search boundaries by sentences or clauses than by verses.
		The grammatical tags were primarily selected by James L. Boyer, then Chairman of the Department of NT and Greek at Grace Theological Seminary.

	This video is on the emergence of new deaf community in Nicaragua studied by Judy Kegl and her colleagues (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		They found, however, that the first cohort of very young deaf children to attend school where the shared system was used transformed this system and introduced into it distinct grammatical features as though they had created a new, more complex, and consistent system.
		We might compare development of Nicaraguan sign language this to the process of "language creation" described by Bickerton (Language video) in his studies of the development of creoles from pidgins by children who supplied the missing grammatical structures.

		Burton also dealt with the ayah 2:177 to show its grammatical inconsistency.
		In this paper, he not only dealt with the so-called-linguistic (grammatical) errors published by John Burton, but also showed that people need to be thorough in classical Arabic before saying anything about the Qur'ân and its grammatical structure.
