名詞

intuition (countable かつ uncountable, 複数形 intuitions)

1. Immediate cognition without the use of conscious rational processes.
   • 1988, Andrew Radford, Transformational Grammar (Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics), volume 1, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 4:

     The native speaker's grammatical competence is reflected in two types of
     intuition which speakers have about their native language(s) — (i) intuitions
     about sentence well-formedness, and (ii) intuitions about sentence structure.
     The word intuition is used here in a technical sense which has become stand-
     ardised in Linguistics: by saying that a native speaker has intuitions about the
     well-formedness and structure of sentences, all we are saying is that he has the
     ability to make judgments about whether a given sentence is well-formed or
     not, and about whether it has a particular structure or not. [...]

2. A perceptive insight gained by the use of this faculty.
