SYNTEX in LINGUISTICS

SYNTEX

"Syntax is the study of the principles and processes by which sentences are constructed in particular languages. Syntactic investigation of a given language has as its goal the construction of a grammar that can be viewed as a device of some sort for producing the sentences of the language under analysis."

For other uses, see Syntax (disambiguation). Not to be confused with Sin tax. See also Syntaxis."Sentence structure" redirects here. For sentence types in traditional grammar, see Sentence clause structure.The point of such understanding is the sentence syntax to review how it is formed and the language using a special variation which allows the forming element in the sentence.

The Role of Syntax in Language

This section is an introduction to syntax in language as far as it is relevant to the content of this book. What I am describing is a simple orthodox view of the grammar of language. Some more complex models are discussed by linguists but these are beyond the scope of this description. This section is included for those readers who would like a brief overview without having to refer separately to a linguistics textbook. Languages have rules. The rules of a language are called the grammar. The reason for these rules is that a person needs to be able to speak an indeterminately large number of sentences in a lifetime. The effort would be impossibly great if each sentence had to be learnt separately.In order for this to work with any degree of success, the rules have to be precise and have to be consistently adhered to. These rules cover such things as: the way words are constructed; the way the endings of words are changed according to context (inflection); the classification of words into parts of speech (nouns, verbs, pronouns, etc.); the way parts of speech are connected together.The rules of grammar do not have to be explicitly understood by the speaker of the language or the listener.

Syntax examples in Linguistic

To make it easier to understand the sense of the syntax of the inventors, should note the following examples:

1. Box
2. That big box
3. That big box are very heavy

Said Box (1) is a word (word), then That big box (2) is a phrase and the last (3) a clause. Since the definition of the word may have been too obvious, so let's continue on phrases (phrase). The phrase made up of several words and then will grow larger into a clause. And the clause is a combination of several words that contain a finite verb that can not be formed in a separate state.The Components of Grammars

The grammar of a language has several components. These can be described as follows:

a) The phonetics that governs the structure of sounds;

b) The morphology that governs the structure of words;

c) The syntax, which governs the structure of sentencesd) 

The semantics that governs the meanings of words and sentences.

The syntax can be described, by the following methods:

1. A statement of the correct sequence of the parts of speech (or Syntactic Categories).

 2. By a series of transformational rules.

3. By parsing diagrams.
