* Poverty of the Stimulus: This is a concept in linguistics that relates to how children learn language. It argues that the input children receive (the language they hear) is not sufficient to explain the complexity of the language they eventually acquire. This implies that there must be some innate, biological basis for language acquisition.
* Grammatical Poverty: This refers to a situation where a language lacks certain grammatical features that are present in other languages. For example, some languages may not have grammatical genders, or they may have a limited set of verb tenses.
In a nutshell:
* "Poverty" in English grammar is not a specific term but rather a general concept used to describe the lack of certain grammatical features or structures in a language.
* It's primarily used in discussions about language acquisition and linguistic typology.
