Grammar and lexicon

Yesterday I talked about the work we're doing with the upcoming projects -- as good an excuse as any to quote Annie Dillard again, this time from Total Eclipse:
The mind -- the culture -- has two little tools, grammar and lexicon: a decorated sand bucket and a matching shovel. With these we bluster about the continents and do all the world's work.
