The Need for Grammatical Stocktaking

GEOFFREY SAMPSON

School of Cognitive and Computing Sciences, University of Sussex UK

Natural language research needs something akin to a ‘Linnaean taxonomy’, identifying and rigorously specifying boundaries between the various structural categories of a language, to allow data to be collected and exchanged in unambiguous form. The author has made a first attempt to provide such a taxonomy for English grammar; the scheme is to appear in book form, and an electronic corpus annotated in conformity with it has been available since 1992.
