لاحظت تعريف

traditional analysis the same as grammar analysis
how can we distinguish the differences between them when you consider it wrong answer !!

O.K. That's a tough one
actually they are very close to each other

Traditional grammar is a set of rules (grammar) derived mainly from the old languages of Latin and Greek

Traditional analysis is analysing and describing the grammatical rules in the same way of analysing the Latin and Greek grammar

mmm

okay thx

[P e a c e]

ok let's take examples

when we say that we must add 's' to the verb, if it is in the simple present tense and it is a third person singular. this is grammar

when we describe the changes that will happen to the verb love for example in different grammatical cases. this is analysis

in English there are only two cases for the verb in the present simple, either withe 's' or without. but in old languages such as Latin and Greek there are many cases, just like Arabic. for example if we take the verb أحب
it can be written - according to its position in these ways
أحب - يحب - تحب - يحبان - تحبان - يحبون - تحبون - نحب

and if follow this way for English we will say
I love - you love - he loves - she loves - it loves - they love - we love
and this is the traditional analysis, and it's impractical to use this way for English, because in English it's enough to say that it's with third person singular the simple tense verb takes 's' after it

because of that we call it traditional, not contemporary
because it does not work well with English, it's ok with the traditional languages like Latin and Greek
