although complete grammars were rare, ancient greek philologists and latin teachers of rhetoric produced some descriptions of the structure of language. the descriptions produced by classical grammarians (teachers of philology and rhetoric) provided a model for traditional grammars in europe. according to linguist william harris, "just as the renaissance confirmed greco-roman tastes in poetry, rhetoric and architecture, it established ancient grammar, especially that which the roman school-grammarians had developed by the 4th [century ce], as an inviolate system of logical expression." the earliest descriptions of other european languages were modeled on grammars of latin. the primacy of latin in traditional grammar persisted until the beginning of the 20th century.
