How to best organize an isolating language's grammar?
Writing a conlang grammar is pretty hard, especially so for analytic and isolating languages. Most natural language grammars seem to be based off the classical grammars of Ancient Greek and Latin, 2 languages with a lot of complex morphology; something that isolating languages obviously lack. So what does one do about that then? Should I even bother having a morphology chapter? My current plan is to just take everything that would be in a morphology chapter (how to express pluralization on nouns, TAM for verbs, etc.) and put it in syntax, but I feel like there's got to be a better way than this.
