Noun

(en noun)

Immediate cognition without the use of conscious rational processes.

*

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.
