 HLW: Grammatical Categories: Morphemes
Because words on the grammatical end of the lexical-grammatical continuum have such vague meanings, they do not contribute as much to the overall meaning of a sentence as nouns, verbs, and adjectives do.
Morphemes near the lexical end of the lexical-grammatical continuum are called lexical morphemes; morphemes such as the, -s, and re- near the grammatical end of the continuum are called grammatical morphemes.
Note that grammatical morphemes include forms that we can consider to be words like the, a, and, and of and others that make up parts of words like -s, -ed, un-, and re-.

 Chapter 2
The three stems are shown by the syllabic stress of the word containing the root, either ultimate (stress on the last syllable of the word), penultimate (stress on the second-to-last syllable), or antepenultimate (third-from-last syllable).
Stem 1 usually refers to the most fundamental, basic, generalized, or common manifestation of the root concept, while Stem 2 is a more specific application or tangible manifestation thereof, or otherwise a subset of the meaning of Stem 1.
Stem 3 may represent yet a further manifestation of the root, a further subset of Stem 1, or a tangential or related concept.

 Tundra Nenets grammatical sketch
The basic stem types are (i) the vowel stems, (ii) the glide stems, (iii) the alteration stems, and (iv) the consonant stems, the major divisions being the vowel and the consonant stems.
The number of glide stems is very small, and they differ from vowel stems only through the appearance of a glide when a suffix with an initial vowel is attached.
Of the seven cases, the grammatical cases, nominative, accusative, and genitive, combine with all three numbers, while the local cases, dative, locative, ablative, and prosecutive, appear only in singular and plural, the missing local dual forms being replaced by expressions with the corresponding case forms of the postposition nya- ‘at’.

 Indo-European and the Indo-Europeans. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. 2000   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Grammatical relationships and the syntactic function of words in the sentence were indicated primarily by variations in the endings of the words.
Nouns had different endings for different cases, such as the subject and the direct object of the verb, the possessive, and many other functions, and for the different numbers, namely the singular, plural, and a special dual number for objects occurring in pairs.
Yet a single root would commonly furnish a large number of derivative stems with different suffixes, both nominal and verbal, much as English love is both noun and verb as well as the base of such derivatives as lovely, lover, and beloved.

 Bhartrihari [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Patanjali, in his Mahâbhâshya, explains that the study of grammar (vyâkaranam) was meant to maintain the truth of the Vedas, to guide the use of Vedic speech in ritual contexts, and to aid in the clear interpretations of individual human speech.
In the Sanskrit grammatical tradition, the "elite" are defined as those who use the correct language; we arrive at this standard language by abstracting from communicative language, or “language-in-use.” In his linguistic theory, Bhartrihari distinguishes between two forms of language, the spoken, or “language-in-use” and the analytic.
Thus, names or singular terms are said by the earliest grammarians to refer to one substance at a time, therefore substance is defined through the relation of reference, and the nature of each substance is so specific that we cannot posit any general properties possessed by all of them.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sacrifice of the Mass
For it is a grammatical rule of New Testament Greek, that, when the double present is used (that is, in both the participle and the finite verb, as is the case here), the time denoted is not the distant or near future, but strictly the present (see Fr.
Overzealous critics, it is true, have assumed that there is here a grammatical mistake, in that St. Luke erroneously connects the "shedding" with the chalice (poterion), instead of with "blood" (to aimati) which is in the dative.
Rather than correct this highly cultivated Greek, as though he were a school boy, we prefer to assume that he intended to use synecdoche, a figure of speech known to everybody, and therefore put the vessel to indicate its contents.

 Sapir-Whorf hypothesis; Essential Concepts
In linguistics, the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis (SWH) states that there is a systematic relationship between the grammatical categories of the language a person speaks and how that person both understands the world and behaves in it.
While his views changed over time, it seems that towards the end of his life Sapir came to believe that language did not merely mirror culture and habitual action, but that language and thought might in fact be in a relationship of mutual influence or perhaps even determination.
So-called politically correct language stems from the belief that using (for example) sexist language tends to make one think in a sexist manner.
