Chapter 6

I was reading along in Chapter 6 when I came accross the section titled The Five Grammars.
I would agree with the text on Grammer 1. What grammar we have come to intreprut over our course of studies is suggested by Grammar 1. This is the grammar that we think is right to use.
Scientific analysis' of grammar 2 (while it is the linguist's model of grammar 1) can be hard and difficult at times to understand. In my History of the English Languauge class, we are learning about analyzing english (old english) and the rules associated with it. I don't exactly understand why we have to learn some of the concepts that we do, because high school students won't be learning these concepts this early in life. I can relate more to grammar 3 and grammar 4 because as I will be a high school teacher, this is what the students will be learning thruoghout their school years. Grammar and high school students would be learning out of text books that are associated with their level of learning. Grammar 5 i n my honest opinion would be more for the college english prep classes in hish school and aslo for the early years of college enlish.
