Grammar = system of linguistic rules that allows us to form and interpret both familiar and novel
utterances
- Prescriptive grammar = rules against certain usages, no rules for what is allowed →
condemns forms used by certain groups of people
- Descriptive grammar = rules describing what people say, aims to reflect the internal rules
that speakers follow when they talk but aren’t aware of → linguistic
knowledge/competence
- Phonetics = study of speech sounds
- Phonology = study of sound systems
- Morphology = study of word structure
- Syntax = study of sentence structure
- Semantics = study of linguistic meaning
- Pragmatics = study of language use
