Famous quotes containing the word components:

    “Hence, a generative grammar must be a system of rules that can iterate to generate an indefinitely large number of structures. This system of rules can be analyzed into the three major components of a generative grammar: the syntactic, phonological, and semantic components.”
    —Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
