    • 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-
    ardised in Linguistics: by saying that a native speaker has ''intuitions'' about the
    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. [...]
  • A perceptive insight gained by the use of this faculty.
