Dear Phil:

In "A Student's Dictionary of Language and Linguistics," Trask (1997) 
defines *grammar* as "that part of the structure of a language which 
includes sentence structure(syntax) and word structure (morphology)" 
(p. 29). As linguists well know, *morphology and *syntax* are an 
integral and part of the science of language, which is *linguistics.* 

The term *linguistic grammar* is not a linguistic expression.It is a  
pleonasm, a redundant expression, which confuses those who are not 
familiar with linguistics and its subfields. 

Regards,

Eduard

this list that I have heard of "Linguistic Grammar."  Are there 
formal descriptions and discussion of it available in journals and 
books?  Are there recognized authors on the subject?  Also, does 
anyone know where I might get a copy of Tim Hadley's dissertation?
