SYNTAX.
INTRODUCTION
In this presentation we will discuss the syntax and more
information about it.
WHAT IS SYNTAX?
Definition: The word syntax derives from the Greek word syntaxis, which means
arrangement.
Morphology deals with word formation out of morphemes; syntax deals with phrase and
sentence formation out of words.
Syntax is the grammar, structure, or order of the elements in a language statement.
WORD CLASS.
There are 11 word classes — commonly known as 'parts of speech’).
word-chunks’ form larger units — phrases — syntax matters.
We will now consider 4 of the 11 word classes, — nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs (NAVA) words.
So, what is NAVA word?
they are crucial to convey information (e.g. when we add one word from each of the four classes to make a
sentence, we get a clear picture of something going on in the real world, with each word making its own
contribution to that picture.
E.g. Young ( ?) cheetahs ( ?) mature (? ) quickly (? )
This is why words of these classes are often called 'content words'.
T R E E D I AG R A M .
S – Sentence.
N – Noun.
NP – Noun Phrase.
Det – Determiner.
Adj – Adjective.
VP – Verb Phrase.
and others.
SYNTAX EXAMPLES
Incorrect - While watching a movie, people who text on their phone are very annoying.
Correct - People who text on their phone while watching a movie are very annoying.
The phrase "while watching a movie" modifies the noun phrase "People who text on their phone" by
explaining when they text. The modifier should follow the noun phrase of the sentence.
Incorrect - Before we go to the movies.
Correct - I need to rest before we go to the movies.
"Before we go to the movies" is a sentence fragment. Adding "I need to rest" makes the words a complete
sentence.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE GRAMMAR AND SYNTAX?
Syntax is sentence information.
-Grammar is a set of rules that set forth the correct standard of usage in a language. These rules dictate how
we should say things correctly. For example, agreement between words in relation to other constructions
in the sentence.
Syntax is the study of sentences and their structure, and the constructions within sentences. Syntax tells us
what goes where in a sentence.
-Grammar is the general term referring to the set of rules in a given language including syntax ,
morphology, while syntax studies sentence structures. This means that syntax is studied within grammar
as a daughter of grammar but sister of morphology where syntax has nothing to share with internal
structure of words but grammar have i.e. in morphology. So, morphology studies words forming, syntax
deals with such formed words by putting them in a correct position within a phrase, clause or/and a
sentence under the umbrella of grammar.
Syntax is the study of the internal structure of phrases and sentences, and the hierarchies, grammatical
functions and - Grammar is all about rules. relations between constituents.
CONCLUSION
So, we have completed our project "Syntax" in which
we talked about the definition and examples and the
difference between grammar and Syntax.
