grammar frameworks

Grammar frameworks are structured systems that linguists use to analyze and understand how sentences are constructed in a language. They provide rules and models that identify the roles of words, phrases, and sentences, explaining how meaning is conveyed. Think of them as blueprints that help us see the patterns behind language use, guiding us in understanding and teaching grammar consistently. Different frameworks may emphasize syntax (sentence structure), semantics (meaning), or both, but all aim to clarify how language functions and how we produce coherent communication.
