Thou/grammar

Famous quotes containing the words thou and/or grammar:

    O suitably-attired-in-leather-boots
    Head of a traveler, wherefore seeking whom
    Whence by what way how purposed art thou come
    To this well-nightingaled vicinity?
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    Hence, a generative grammar must be a system of rules that can iterate to generate an indefinitely large number of structures. This system of rules can be analyzed into the three major components of a generative grammar: the syntactic, phonological, and semantic components.
    Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
