A grammar is the derivation of understanding (not meaning, not sense) from syntactical and contextual elements.
The process of continuous instinctual categorization of words and contextual evidence is responsible for understanding sentences.
A discreet combinatorial system is the ability to take a finite amount of rules and come up with an infinite amount of combinations.
The meaning derived is greater than the sum of its parts.
The universal grammar is present in every human, but it must be activated.
Language = mental dictionary + universal grammar.
