I'm just ploughing ahead with these grammar terms, despite the fact that they are very much an active subject of contention. I think it's important that the wiki maintain consistent terminology across its articles discussing grammar, but I'm less certain of what that terminology should be.

- At this point I went digging for sources and I wanted to pull out Andre Martinet and De Saussure, but those are from a very particular school of linguistics that not everybody subscribes to. While I want to avoid over commiting myself, it is helpful for me to have this glossary here as I work on the articles. Again, peer review is necessary. JPeton (talk) 05:23, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
