(en noun)- The native speaker's grammatical competence is reflected in two types of
intuition'' which speakers have about their native language(s) — (i) intuitions'''
about sentence ''well-formedness'', and (ii) '''intuitions about sentence ''structure''.
The word ''intuition'' is used here in a technical sense which has become stand-

well-formedness and structure of sentences, all we are saying is that he has the
ability to make ''judgments about whether a given sentence is well-formed or
not, and about whether it has a particular structure or not. [...]
