Different types of grammar. Stratificational grammar, transformational grammar, universal grammar, tagmemic grammar, phrase structure grammar, incorporating grammar, synthetic grammar, inflectional grammar, analytic grammar, distributive grammar, isolating grammar, traditional grammar, the new grammar*. -- (from Webster's New World Dictionary) Robbie
Well, this question is harder to answer than it looks. Grammar can be subdivided in several different ways. (1) English education majors often study traditional, structural and generative grammars, which are different means of studying language. (2) On the other hand, you might be looking for standards of grammar, which would include prescriptive (rules of do and don't), descriptive (descriptions of what speakers and writers actually do), and formal (grammar used in computer programming). (3) Grammar, also, has several subfields: phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics.
What else can I help you with?
Who was The originator of transformational grammar?
Noam Chomsky is who you are looking for.
Who was the US Linguist and Philosopher who developed a theory of generative grammar in the 1950?
Chomsky
Write a Short note on Main principles of Generative grammar?
Noam Chomsky
What is mental grammar?
A kind of generative grammar (Chomsky), the innate basis for learning, speaking and understanding any (verbal) language.
Who founded generative grammar?
Noam Chomsky is often credited with founding generative grammar in the 1950s. His work revolutionized the study of linguistics by proposing that language is an innate human capacity and that the rules governing language can be described through a formal system.

Noam Chomsky is a leading innovator in linguistics, that is - the study of language.
Who is the researcher that developed the nativist approach and universal grammar to explain how children learn their language skills?
chomsky
What is unrestricted grammar?
An unrestricted grammar, also known as a type 0 grammar in the Chomsky hierarchy, has rules that allow for rewriting any combination of symbols in the grammar, without any restrictions. This type of grammar is the most powerful in terms of generating languages.
Did Tomasello agree with Chomsky's Theory of Language Acquisition?
No, Tomasello did not agree with Chomsky's Theory of Language Acquisition. Tomasello proposed the usage-based theory, which emphasizes the role of social interaction and cognitive processes in language development, rather than a universal grammar proposed by Chomsky.
How did Maria Montessori set the stage for the researcher Noam Chomsky's work?
By her careful observation of infant development and notations of seemingly universal stages in the acquisition of different types of knowledge, I imagine she set the stage for his idea of Universal Grammar.
What contribution has Noam Chomsky done for linguistic?
Noam Chomsky developed a theory of Generative Grammar during the 1950s and later. Before Chomsky Grammar had only described language - which is useful for learning a language, but tells you nothing how about language works inside the mind. Chomsky's Generative Grammar gave scientists ideas about how humans create language - and therefore how we think. Most of Chomsky's ideas have proved to be generally correct, and a new science - Cognitive Science - has grown up from Chomskyan theories. Computer scientists also found Chomsky's ideas about language structure useful, and computer languages based on Chomskyan principles (Pascal, C#, Prolog) are much more powerful than the older pre-Chomskyan languages (Fortran). A good introduction to Chomskyan language analysis techniques can be found in Stephen Pinker's books - especially 'The Language Instinct'. Chomsky is probably the most important grammarian since Quintilian (in Roman times) and may be one of the 20th Century's most important theoretical scientists.
What did Noam Chomsky do for psychology?
Noam Chomsky developed the theory of Universal Grammar, which said that humans have a biological aptitude to acquire language. His theory has helped develop the modern academic field of Linguistics and also Psychology as it deals with language and language acquisition.
