Information about Grammaticality
In theoretical linguistics, grammaticality is the quality of a linguistic utterance of being grammatically correct.
J. Lyons (Introduction to Theoretical Linguistics, 1968, ix.422) defines the concept as "that part of the acceptability of utterances which can be accounted for in terms of the rules," the complement criterion for acceptability being semantic soundness.
For native speakers of natural languages, grammaticality is a matter of linguistic intuition, a competence learned by language acquisition in childhood. prescriptive grammars of controlled natural languages define grammaticality as a matter of explicit consensus. generative grammars have the aim of exhaustively predicting grammaticality.
It can be represented and delineated in written language in many ways.
