Max Black on Grammar - Dictionary of Arguments
II 52f Grammar/Black: 1) Classification of words according to function - 2) How words are modified by prefixes and suffixes - 3) Presentation of the syntax. >Words, >Classification, >Syntax, >Word classes. II 64 Grammar is explored by trying to obtain information about well-formedness from the speaker. II 68f BlackVsSpeculative Grammar: presumes a structure of reality and a non-linguistic approach - as impossible as comparison of maps without any distortion. II 70 Map: crucial: correct information, not similarity - analog: symbolic representations of language. >Map example. II 70 Objectivity/Grammar/Black: grammar is objective if some features are essential for the description -> grammatical invariants - Black: but that's not fertile. II 72 There are no grammatical invariants._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
