Home›Life Sciences›In Group›Syntax And Generative GrammarGroupSyntax And Generative GrammarThis group collects the Linguistics subcategory's members whose defining work concerns syntax and grammar: sentence structure, generative grammar and the formal rules by which languages combine words, from the earliest grammarians to the founders of generative linguistics and their successors. It is the subcategory's largest group alongside Phonology And Phonetics, kept apart from Semantics And Pragmatics, whose members study meaning rather than sentence structure.FactsSyntax And Generative GrammarSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonField EstablishedWell-attested1958 1Syntax And Generative GrammarFilter Results24 entriesDisciplineAllLinguistics (8)Field (legacy)AllAmerican Indian languages and language typology (1)Comparative and historical linguistics, philology (1)Generative linguistics (1)Germanic philology and historical linguistics (1)Historical linguistics and philology (1)Indo-European languages and the languages of California (1)Indo-European studies and historical linguistics (1)Linguistics (6)Linguistics and philology (Sanskrit studies) (1)Mayan languages, syntax, morphology (1)Morphology (1)Philology (1)Structural linguistics (1)Structural linguistics and semiotics, Indo-European studies (1)Syntax of English and the Romance languages (1)EraAll1785 (2)1787 (1)1791 (1)1827 (1)1846 (2)1849 (1)1887 (1)1902 (1)1915 (1)1928 (1)1933 (1)1939 (1)1944 (1)1946 (2)1948 (1)1949 (1)1961 (1)InstitutionAllLinguistic Society of America (1)NationalityAllDenmark (2)France (1)Germany (4)United States (10)BrowseCompareSelect all 24Andrew GarrettLinguisticsBernard ComrieLinguisticsCalvert WatkinsLinguisticsEdward L.
