This article explores the cognitive dimensions of grammar, emphasizing its role as a mental system for organizing and processing language. It examines how grammar interacts with cognitive processes like pattern recognition, memory, and conceptualization, shedding light on its generative and interpretive functions. Topics include language acquisition, where innate abilities and environmental input converge, and cognitive grammar, which links grammatical structures to mental representations of meaning. The article also highlights the influence of memory and cross-linguistic perspectives on grammatical systems, showcasing grammar's universality and adaptability.
