Question: What is the difference between the broad sense and narrow sense for the term grammar?

Answer: In the broad (general) sense, the term grammar, popularly raised by America linguists Noam Chomsky includes all aspects of sentence’s pattering, including phonology and semantics, and introduces the term “syntax” as the more specific notion.

In narrow (specific) sense which is more traditional grammar is presented as just one branch of language structure, distinguish from phonology and semantics./
