	[No title]
		Word Grammar is a theory of language structure which Richard (= Dick) Hudson has been building since the early 1980's.
		As the latter title indicates, Chomsky's transformational grammar was very much `in the air', and both books accepted his goal of generative grammar but offered other ideas about sentence structure as alternatives to his mixture of function-free phrase structure plus transformations.

	Word grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Word grammar is a grammar model developed by Richard Hudson in the 1980s.
		It is based on the dependency grammar model, in which information is almost entirely contained in the lexical entries for particular words, and syntax is seen as consisting primarily of rules for combining words.
		Word grammar is in the tradition of cognitive linguistics, modeling language as part of general knowledge and not as a specialised mental faculty.

	Fandrych - Word Processors' Grammar and Spelling Assistance: Consequences for Second Language Learning and Teaching ...
		With the use of computers and word processors becoming more and more common among both academics and university students, a closer look at the grammar and spell check facilities of widely used word processors is called for in order to determine whether, indeed, the 'blind faith' that many people put in modern software is justified.
		Word suggests either to replace are with is, or to pluralise speech.
		Word 2000 further announces that it can now "automatically correct spelling and grammar", and that the thesaurus offers synonyms; it can also check texts written in other languages, and detect hyphenation language-specifically.

	Morphological Parsing with a Unification-based Word Grammar
		Koskenniemi's model is "two-level" in the sense that a word is represented as a direct, letter-for-letter correspondence between its lexical or underlying form and its surface form.
		The word grammar is a unification-based chart parser (based on the PATR-II formalism described in Shieber 1986) that provides parse trees and feature structures.
		This analysis is then passed to the word grammar, which returns the parse tree and feature structure shown in Figure 2.

	grammar
		Grammar involves rules of phonology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics that are all internalized, usually by the age of 5.
		Grammar studies were considered a means of honing the mind and the classical trivium of grammar, rhetoric, and logic were considered the foundation of all knowledge and were prerequisites for later studies in theology, philosophy, and literature (Weaver 1996).
		In essence she asks “whose grammar are we teaching?” If the goal of grammar teaching (whether within the context of writing or not) is to help students speak and write the language of power, we must ask ourselves if this is a noble goal.

	grammar -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		The word grammar also denotes the study of these abstract features or a book presenting the rules.
		It is “speculative” not in the modern sense but as the word is derived from the Latin speculum (“mirror”), indicating a belief that language reflects the reality underlying the physical world.
		His English Grammar, published in 1795, was the standard grammar textbook in both England and the United States for 50 years.

	Chapter 3: Englex
		Because the word grammar component is new to PC-KIMMO version 2, the section in this chapter on Englex's word grammar serves as a tutorial on writing word grammars.
		A word such as bigger would still be correctly parsed as a comparative adjective; but a word such as writer would get two parses: one where -er is correctly recognized as an agentive suffix that attaches to a verb, and another where -er is incorrectly posited as the comparative suffix.
		A word belonging to the N-V sublexicon is expanded into both a noun and a verb by the word grammar.

		Dependency grammar (DG) is a class of syntactic theories separate from generative grammar.
		Cognitive linguistics is a school of linguistics and cognitive science, which aims to provide accounts of language that mesh well with current understandings of the human mind, and is generally opposed to the more syntactocentric approaches to meaning in generative linguistics.
		Transformational grammar is a broad term describing grammars (almost exclusively those of natural languages) which have been developed in a Chomskyan tradition.

		However, given that Word 2002 and 2003 offer such horrifically bad advice in sentences like 8 and 18 and given that Word 2000, 2002, and 2003 do not appear to initialize the grammar checker adequately, "better" is a word I really would rather not use here.
