III. Syntax

    What is Syntax?

                         Also known as “Syntactics” or “Structure”, is the study of how words are organized in relation to each other. According to Richard Nordquist (2020), in linguistics, "syntax" refers to the rules that govern the ways in which words combine to form phrases, clauses, and sentences. The term "syntax" comes from the Greek, meaning "arrange together." The term is also used to mean the study of the syntactic properties of a language. In computer contexts, the term refers to the proper ordering of symbols and codes so that the computer can understand what instructions are telling it to do.
