These symbols can be combined productively to convey new [[information]], distinguishing languages from other forms of communication. The word ''language'' (without an [[article (grammar)|article]]) can also refer to the use of such systems as a [[phenomenon]]. | + | '''Grammar''' is the study of the [[rules]] governing the use of a given [[natural language]], and, as such, is a field of [[linguistics]]. |
