Grammatical Framework

Edit

A grammatical framework is a theoretical system of concepts, principles, and formal representations used to describe and analyze the grammatical organization of a language [1][2]. It specifies how linguistic units, including morphemes, words, phrases, and clauses, are structured and related, and how grammatical patterns and constraints are represented within a particular approach to linguistic analysis [1]. Different grammatical frameworks adopt different assumptions about syntactic structure, grammatical categories, the relationship between form and meaning, and the principles governing the formation of linguistic expressions [2]. The term therefore denotes a general theoretical and methodological approach to grammatical description, rather than a single set of grammatical rules or one specific model of language.
