Study of the formation of composite units
In linguistics, syntax ( SIN-taks) is the study of how words and morphemes combine to form well-formed larger units such as phrases and sentences. Central concerns in this area of linguistics include word order, grammatical relations, hierarchical sentence structure (constituency), agreement, cross-linguistic variation, and the relationship between structure and meaning (semantics). Diverse approaches, such as generative grammar and functional grammar, have been proposed as ways to model the human mental grammars that form and interpret sentences. In logic, syntax is the study of how strings of symbols form well-formed formulas in formal languages.
