The inquiry-based approach employed by Lobeck and Denham encourages readers to discover the basic categories and organizing principles of grammar by exploring their own intuitive knowledge of language. Rather than rule memorization, focus is on development of a set of tools to analyze language in its many representations. Throughout, the authors highlight how grammatical rules change over time, how they vary across speech communities, and how oral language differs from written language.
