    Study Notes

    Study of Grammar

    • Main components include syntax (sentence structure), morphology (word formation), phonetics (sounds), and semantics (meaning).

    Language Acquisition

    • Fluent speakers primarily acquire rules of a language through immersion and exposure from native speakers rather than formal education.

    Internalization of Language Rules

    • Much of the internalization occurs during early childhood, allowing for the instinctual use of language without conscious thought.

    Definition of Grammar

    • The term 'grammar' also describes a system of rules that governs the structure of sentences in a language.

    English Grammar

    • 'English grammar' encompasses syntax, morphology, punctuation, and usage rules specifically pertaining to the English language.

    Study of Chemistry

    • Chemistry studies the composition, structure, properties, and changes of matter, focusing on substances and their interactions.

    Components of Compounds

    • Compounds are made of two or more elements chemically bonded together, forming distinct substances with unique properties.

    Position of Chemistry

    • Chemistry occupies a central position within the natural sciences, bridging physics, biology, environmental science, and material science.

    Central Science

    • Chemistry is sometimes called the central science due to its role in connecting and influencing other scientific disciplines and their theories.

    Applications of Chemistry

    • Applications include pharmaceuticals, agriculture, materials science, environmental protection, and energy production, affecting everyday life and industry.
