Process Grammar Model: Immediate Grammar and Adjustive Grammar (Digest Version; English)

  • 1. ROR icon Institute of Science Tokyo

Description

This digest presents an overview of the Process Grammar Model, a framework for describing 
language use along a time axis through the distinction and continuum between Immediate 
Grammar and Adjustive Grammar. Immediate Grammar corresponds to intuitively selected and 
promptly realized utterances, while Adjustive Grammar involves deliberate judgment and 
revision. Rather than treating these as a simple binary opposition, the model conceptualizes 
them as dynamically interacting processes. This document serves as a concise entry point 
to the theoretical framework; for the full model and detailed discussions, see the main 
Process Grammar Model publication.
