(1647).
(b) In the American system of graded common schools, at
one time the term referred to an intermediate school
between the primary school and the high school, in
which the principles of English grammar were taught;
now, it is synonymous with primary school or
elementary school, being the first school at which
children are taught subjects required by the state
educational laws. In different communities, the
grammar school (primary school) may have grades 1 to
4, 1 to 6, or 1 to 8, usually together with a
kindergarten. Schools between the primary school and
high school are now commonly termed middle school or
intermediate school.
[1913 Webster +PJC]

4. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018) |
grammar
A formal definition of the syntactic structure (the
syntax) of a language.
A grammar is normally represented as a set of production
rules which specify the order of constituents and their
sub-constituents in a sentence (a well-formed string in the
language). Each rule has a left-hand side symbol naming a
syntactic category (e.g. "noun-phrase" for a natural
language grammar) and a right-hand side which is a sequence
of zero or more symbols. Each symbol may be either a
terminal symbol or a non-terminal symbol. A terminal symbol
corresponds to one "lexeme" - a part of the sentence with no
internal syntactic structure (e.g. an identifier or an
operator in a computer language). A non-terminal symbol is
the left-hand side of some rule.
One rule is normally designated as the top-level rule which
gives the structure for a whole sentence.
A parser (a kind of recogniser) uses a grammar to parse a
sentence, assigning a terminal syntactic category to each
input token and a non-terminal category to each appropriate
group of tokens, up to the level of the whole sentence.
Parsing is usually preceded by lexical analysis. The
opposite, generation, starts from the top-level rule and
chooses one alternative production wherever there is a choice.
In computing, a formal grammar, e.g. in BNF, can be used to
parse a linear input stream, such as the source code of a
program, into a data structure that expresses the (or a)
meaning of the input in a form that is easier for the computer
to work with. A compiler compiler like yacc might be used
to convert a grammar into code for the parser of a compiler.
A grammar might also be used by a transducer, a translator
or a syntax directed editor.
