The possibility to search electronically very large corpora of texts has opened up ways in which we can truly evaluate the rules through which grammarians have tried and continue to try to simulate natural languages. However, the possibility to handle incredibly large amounts of texts might lead to problems with the assessment of certain phenomena that are hardly ever represented in those corpora and yet, have always been regarded as grammatically correct elements of a given language. In German, typical phenomena of this kind are forms like betrögest or erwögest, i.e. second person singular of the so-called strong verbs in the subjunctive mood. Should we see them merely as grammarians’ inventions? Before doing so, we should reconsider the nature of these phenomena. They may appear to be isolated word forms but, in fact, are compact realizations of syntactic constructions, and it is the frequency of these constructions that should be evaluated, not the frequency of their specific realizations.
Grammars even trying to be as comprehensible as possible hardly avoid using technical terms unknown to novices. To overcome these inconveniencies, the grammatical information system grammis of the Institut für Deutsche Sprache incorporated a glossary specialized on terms used within the system. This glossary - actually named Grammatische Grundbegriffe (elementary terms of grammar) and tied by hyperlinks to technical terms in the core grammar' of grammis - offers short and simple explanations mainly by means of exemplification. The idea is to provide the users with provisional understanding to get along while following the main themes they are interested in. Explicitly, the glossary is not a stand-alone dictionary of grammatical terms, and it should not be regarded as one.

Peter Suchsland, Ordinarius für Sprachtheorie an der Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, hatte zu einem Symposium über das brisante Thema: „Biologische und soziale Grundlagen der Sprache“ eingeladen in der Zeit vom 17. bis 19. Oktober, einer Zeit, die sich im nachhinein politisch als nicht weniger brisant erwies als das wissenschaftliche Thema. An dem Symposium beteiligten sich neben Linguisten auch Psychologen, Verhaltensbiologen, Anthropologen und Philosophen. Im Vordergrund der Referate und Diskussionen standen sprachtheoretische Postulate und Grundannahmen, wie sie im Lauf der letzten zwanzig Jahre im wesentlichen von Chomsky entwickelt wurden.
