我们可以把我们所拥有的关于词的特殊属性的知识表示为一种内化的字典，通常被称为词典。这是一个事实，虽然一个绍纳语的人从来没有被明确地告知，某些动词和形容词在句子的深层结构中出现时，可能没有某些类型的名词作为主语，但他非常清楚，例如，像mombe（一头牛）这样的名词不是可以作为动词verenga（读）的主语出现的名词类型，像bold（粥）这样的名词不能成为像-tatu（三）这样的形容词的主语，动词-nyord（写）必须有一个具有人性属性的名词作为主语（例如，mudzi'dzisi，教师; mwand，儿童; mukomand，男孩）。任何旨在描述我们的语言知识的语法都必须能够解释这类信息。它必须能够描述为什么字符串（1）是可接受的句子，而（2）不是：

It must be able to describe why string (1) is an acceptable sentence, while (2) is not:
