In grammar, a conjunction (abbreviated CONJ or CNJ) is a part of speech that connects words, sentences, phrases, or clauses.
Formal grammar
In formal language theory, a grammar (when the context is not given, often called a formal grammar for clarity) is a set of production rules for strings in a formal language.
Grammar
In linguistics, grammar is the set of structural rules governing the composition of clauses, phrases, and words in any given natural language.
Noun
A noun (from Latin nōmen, literally meaning "name") is a word that functions as the name of some specific thing or set of things, such as living creatures, objects, places, actions, qualities, states of existence, or ideas.
Pronoun
(This article is about the part of speech. For the publishing platform, see Pronoun (publishing platform).) In linguistics and grammar, a pronoun (abbreviated PRO) is a word that substitutes for a noun or noun phrase.
Reduplication
Reduplication in linguistics is a morphological process in which the root or stem of a word (or part of it) or even the whole word is repeated exactly or with a slight change.
Semantics
Semantics (from Ancient Greek: σημαντικός sēmantikos, "significant") is primarily the linguistic, and also philosophical study of meaning—in language, programming languages, formal logics, and semiotics.
Generative grammar
Generative grammar is a linguistic theory that considers grammar to be a system of rules that is intended to generate exactly those combinations of words which form grammatical sentences in a given language.
Question
A question is a linguistic expression used to make a request for information, or the request made using such an expression.
Solecism
In traditional grammar, a solecism is a phrase that transgresses the rules of grammar.
Supine
In grammar, a supine is a form of verbal noun used in some languages.
Case grammar
Case grammar is a system of linguistic analysis, focusing on the link between the valence, or number of subjects, objects, etc.
Self-reference
Self-reference occurs in natural or formal languages when a sentence, idea or formula refers to itself.
Apposition
Apposition is a grammatical construction in which two elements, normally noun phrases, are placed side by side, with one element serving to identify the other in a different way.
Plurale tantum
A plurale tantum (Latin for "plural only", plural form: pluralia tantum) is a noun that appears only in the plural form and does not have a singular variant for referring to a single object.
Production (computer science)
A production or production rule in computer science is a rewrite rule specifying a symbol substitution that can be recursively performed to generate new symbol sequences.
Sequence of tenses
Sequence of tenses (known in Latin as consecutio temporum, and also known as agreement of tenses, succession of tenses and tense harmony) is a set of grammatical rules of a particular language, governing the agreement between the tenses of verbs in related clauses or sentences.
Immediate constituent analysis
In linguistics, immediate constituent analysis or IC analysis is a method of sentence analysis that was first mentioned by Leonard Bloomfield and developed further by Rulon Wells.
Principal parts
In language learning, the principal parts of a verb are those forms that a student must memorize in order to be able to conjugate the verb through all its forms.
National Grammar Day
National Grammar Day is observed in the United States on March 4.
Constraint-based grammar
Constraint-based grammars can perhaps be best understood in contrast to generative grammars.
