Traditional view of language Everybody knows that language is made up of two parts: grammar & vocabulary Also known as syntax & lexis Language = grammar + lexis in context Today we are going to look at a tripartite division of language which follows the linguistic traditions of the 20th century – Grammar (=structure) – Vocabulary (=words and phrases) – Pragmatics (=communicative intention)

What is grammar? We think of grammar as the rules of a language Grammar is really nothing more than structure – There are 2 elements of language structure 1. morphology 2. syntax

Grammar and language When you learn your mother tongue (L1), you start with vocabulary (single words and chunks) – The grammar emerges slowly when necessary – Caretakers do not usually correct children’s grammar mistakes – only their vocabulary When you learn a foreign language as an adult, you learn grammar and vocabulary together – Do you feel that the grammar is ? Why?
