摘要：This paper attempts to address the nature of language grammar from the perspective of personal experience. Personal experience refers to whatever an individual, situated in a particular life status and equipped with certain innate mental and physical capacities, obtains in his interaction with the natural and socio-cultural surroundings, including various events that he has experienced, knowledge that he has acquired, feelings and emotions that he has gone through, cognitive abilities that he has developed, and whatever that makes him differ from what he was and that will contribute to later processes of his experience acquisition. Personal experience is an individual’s lived experience, which enables him to understand the world, to understand what language means, and to behave appropriately in social and verbal communication. With the lived personal experience, an individual can come up with an appropriate communicative notion in a certain communicative context. The communicative notion is the consciousness or intentionality that the individual intends to communicate with the person to be addressed in the context. The communicative notion has its own meaningful structure, from which language grammar originates and develops in the process of serving the purpose of the communicative notion. Grammar is the realization of the communicative notion through the expression of language.
