The branch of theoretical grammar that studies the ways in which words are combined in phrase and sentence, dealing with the external functions and relationships of words in linguistic units.Syntax, Syntax, A combination that comprises at least two constituent parts (like a phrase, a sentence, or a text). It has a two-fold nature: an expression side (Form) and a content side (Meaning)., Syntactic Unit, The content side of a syntactic unit; the way word meanings combine to produce meaningful phrases. (Note: A grammatically correct string may still lack this, e.g., "Green ideas sleep furiously."), Syntactic Meaning, The expression side of a syntactic unit; the distributional pattern or structural arrangement of the unit (e.g., the structure N1 + V + N2)., Syntactic Form, The grammatical relationship of one constituent to another within a unit, determining its role (e.g., Subject, Object, Attributive Modifier, etc.)., Syntactic Function, A syntagmatic relation characterized by the independence of the combined elements (e.g., cats and dogs). The elements are usually of equal linguistic rank., Coordination, A syntagmatic relation characterized by the dependence of one part (the complement/adjunct) on another (the head). It includes connections like Agreement, Government, and Adjoining., Subordination, A syntagmatic relation of interdependence. Primary Predication is the relation between the Subject and the Predicate on the sentence level; Secondary Predication occurs on the phrase level (e.g., in predicative complexes like the Gerundial Phrase)., Predication, A syntagmatic unity of at least two notional words. It is a naming unit but is non-communicative and serves as a dependent component within a larger structure (the sentence)., Phrase, The minimal communicative unit of language. It features primary predication, a definite structural pattern, and an intonation pattern, and is used to describe a fact of reality or achieve a communicative goal., Sentence.
