ABSTRACT
The grammar is spread across three broad domains with arrows that indicate movement and influences between them. The three domains are universal cultural processes, social and political structures, and cultural products. With the unfathomable complexity of culture in mind, the grammar comprises loose relationships which represent a conversation between its different domains. Implicit in cultural negotiation is the notion of individuals taking social action on a daily basis, which is a theme that runs throughout the grammar. The source of the social action which is implicit throughout the grammar is in the underlying universal cultural processes in the very centre of the grammar. The more promising negotiation of the individual versus structure runs left to right at the top because of the possibility that the personal helps to reduce particular structures and allow more understanding of the constructed nature of cultural products.
