form

[Edith A Moravcsik]

=====> To JON ASKE:

   Thanks for your two responses (Friday, January 17 and Saturday,
January 18). I think we are in agreement on the basic fact that a full
account of grammar includes consideration of both form and function.
Where we disagree is that I believe within this total endeavor there
is a distinct step devoted to the study of form independent of
meaning, while you are questioning this.
