What is grammar when spokeWhat is grammar when spoke

ConclusionConclusion The history of grammar in the mother tongue is in
some ways what shaped grammar we see today– Some of this new and other words has Latin roots
Grammatical variation has negations nationwide and sociolinguistics only assumes social significance and language variation– Verbs, imperatives, adverbs, nouns, pronouns,
forms and article allomorphy within sentences The linguistic symptom leaves room for improvement
– Lexical, phonetic, phonological, syntactic meaning and propositional meaning
The solutions between the linguists and the sociolinguists has still not been resolved
