Following our look at grammatical structures

• To this point we have examined linguistic structures at various sizes:
• Sound structure
• Word Structure
• Sentence Structure
• Interpretation and Meaning
• This investigation, while dealing with different areas, shows common components

Properties of the different areas

• Some common themes
• Linguistic representations involve abstract structures (i.e. structures that we don’t hear or see per se)
• E.g. the way that speech sounds are organized suggests an analysis in terms of dimensions like place and manner of articulation
• In addition, the way that linguistic objects (speech sounds, morphemes, words) function in combination provides evidence for the abstract structures and rules employed by speakers (although of course without their explicit knowledge)
