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.

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? > >Phil Bralich To join or leave this LISTSERV list, please visit the list's web interface at: http://listserv.muohio.edu/archives/ateg.html and select "Join or leave the list" Visit ATEG's web site at http://ateg.org/
