What is PS Grammar? [NU-‘15,‘18]

 

Noam Chomsky introduced the term PS Grammar or phrase-structure grammar. A grammar in which relations among words and morphemes of a sentence are described but not deeper or semantic relations, is called PS Grammar. It is a model of the generative grammar employed to analyze the structure of different sentence types in a particular language. PS Grammar mainly describes the rules which are used to break sentences of language into their constituents. PS Grammar forces a hierarchical arrangement among different parts of sentences. Its purpose is to describe the syntax of a given language.

However, PS Grammar is an alternative way of expressing the information found in a tree diagram by means of ‘re-write’ rules.
