grammar: the characteristic manner in which the basic elements of a language (especially the lexical ones) combine to form more complex structures, thus enabling the communication of thought. Grammar includes morphology and syntax; some analysts also include phonology, semantics and/or the lexicon as a part of grammar. [Spanish: gramática]
