Abstract
The task confronting the linguist, or grammarian, has been posed in a number of ways. The traditional grammarian attempted to establish correlations between the physical facts of the language — the morphology — and the elements of a metaphysical, logical, scheme based on an analysis of the characteristics of human reason. The descriptive linguist attempts to describe language as a corpus, without recourse to a prioristic speculation or external theories. The generative grammarian has attempted to deal with natural language as though it were a particular instance of a mathematical language and can be generated in the manner of an arithmetic; and he increasingly tends to return to the development of metaphysical schemes that are independent of the physical characteristics of any particular language.
