The importance of grammar is apparent when learning a new language, but there\u2019s much more to grammar than meets the eye. As the system and structure of languages, it plays a vital role in facilitating basic communication. \u2018The greater part of the world’s troubles are due to questions of grammar\u2019, wrote de Montaigne. Join us as we probe the philosophical underpinnings of grammar and how it functions in communication, understanding, and even humour.<\/p>\n
