Sintaksės atskyrimas nuo morfologijos XX a. kalbotyroje
Separation of Syntax and Morphology in 20th Century Linguistics

Summary/Abstract: The issue addressed in this article in modern linruistics is considered to be unfashionable, not scientific and even a manifestation of ignorance. However, some knowledge of grammar essence and its history shows that there is nothing new in our world. Having perceived unity and harmony of all language elements, knowing that grammar has maintained its classical model in the course of ages and that its name has derived from Greek word gramma “letter”, fluctuation towards either meaningless morphology (comparative historical grammar) or universal syntax (grammar of the 18th century, middle and second part of the 20th century) is very interesting. Fruitless are the efforts to separate grammar from perception of the world and thinking when the purpose of the language itself to express the thought and to convey similarly perceived reality is not taken into consideration. Historical approach shows that “the new” was known some time ago.
