In this class, we first discuss similarities and differences between Traditional and Generative approaches to the study of Grammar and characterize the former as descriptive (taxonomic, function-and-category based) and the latter as both descriptive and explanatory (of both grammaticality and ungrammaticality). Next, we talk about the constituents of Traditional Grammar (sentence, clause, phrase, word and morpheme) and problematize categories such as "word" and "sentence" (given that their statuses can be quite controversial). Finally, we make reference to the categories "free" and "bound" morphemes in order to introduce our discussion on morphological analysis.
