  GRAMMAR, n.  A system of pitfalls thoughtfully prepared for the feet
  for the self-made man, along the path by which he advances to
  distinction.
  
  

  grammar
       
          A formal definition of the syntactic structure of a language
          (see syntax), normally given in terms of production rules
          which specify the order of constituents and their
          sub-constituents in a sentence (a well-formed string in the
          language).  Each rule has a left-hand side symbol naming a
          syntactic category (e.g. "noun-phrase" for a natural
          language grammar) and a right-hand side which is a sequence
          of zero or more symbols.  Each symbol may be either a
          terminal symbol or a non-terminal symbol.  A terminal symbol
          corresponds to one "{lexeme" - a part of the sentence with
          no internal syntactic structure (e.g. an identifier or an
          operator in a computer language).  A non-terminal symbol is
          the left-hand side of some rule.
       
          One rule is normally designated as the top-level rule which
          gives the structure for a whole sentence.
       
          A grammar can be used either to parse a sentence (see
          parser) or to generate one.  Parsing assigns a terminal
          syntactic category to each input token and a non-terminal
          category to each appropriate group of tokens, up to the level
          of the whole sentence.  Parsing is usually preceded by
          lexical analysis.  Generation starts from the top-level rule
          and chooses one alternative production wherever there is a
          choice.

                  families or householders, they shall set up a

        (b) In the American system of graded common schools, at
            one time the term referred to an intermediate school
            between the primary school and the high school, in
            which the principles of English grammar were taught;
            now, it is synonymous with primary school or
            elementary school, being the first school at which
            children are taught subjects required by the state
            educational laws. In different communities, the
            grammar school (primary school) may have grades 1 to
            4, 1 to 6, or 1 to 8, usually together with a
            kindergarten. Schools between the primary school and
            high school are now commonly termed middle school or
            intermediate school.
