Well you really can't, if you work out the grammar than you are working out the morphology and syntax. There was a linguistics dictionary on the internet somewhere that would define them. Either that, or find a used general linguistics textbook. (That's what I did.) We do use big words, but you'll find they generally mean fairly simple things. I don't really have the energy to attempt a definition of the words you mentioned, but someone else probably does. -- Robert
