| Comment | The persistently neurotic me believes a clarification of this entry is in order, especially vis-a-vis 生成文法. Which of the two, if either, would be associated with Noam Chompsky and how are the two different? Thanks. |

| Editorial Comment | See later comments. I don't think any attempt should be made to expand the English glossesto explain the differences between them, as the English versions aren't exactly orthogonal and it would take an extended paragraph or two. |

| Reference | I did not locate this anywhere but then I currently only have access to on-line Yahoo, Google and Eijiro but I did find 述語名詞 at Eijiro and this makes a common-sense possibility accordingly. |
| Comment | Finding out that the Kenkyusha "Green Goddess" has a better rendering of PA and PN would not sadden me at all. At any rate I do believe that grammar nomenclature should be more fully included in the Edict project, since such terminology proves quite useful in Japan. |

| Editorial Comment | This has 600 Googits. The Kenkyusha EJs have 叙述名詞 and 叙述形容詞 (which I have added.) They, curiously, get even fewer Googits. |
