Contribution to the grammar of the Catalan language (1898) is the second grammar written by Pompeu Fabra, and the first that he published in Catalan. The years between 1892 and 1895, were extremely productive for Fabra: he trained as a linguist and was recognised as an innovative grammarian by the campaign for "Linguistic Reform" of the journal L'Avenç. The big difference between the 1898 grammar and the Ensayo de gramática del catalán moderno (1891) is that he used the scientific method of comparative linguis tics,the leading school in Europe at that time.
