SYNTAX

Good evening  Sahabat ....🌸🌸🌸
this time I will write about syntax in linguistics

so please read through to the end, and I really hope your response in the comments column😊😊😊

What is Syntax?

In linguistics, the word syntax comes from the Greek which is a combination of the word "syn" which means "together", and the word "taxis" which means "stucture", "sequence". 

Syntax definitions according to some of the world's linguistics experts:

1. Noam Chomsky
"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. "

2. Mattew                     
The term "syntax" is from the Ancient Greek syntaxis, a verbal noun which literally means "arrangement" or "setting out together". Traditionally, it refers to the branch of grammar dealing with the ways in which words, with or without appropriate inflections, are arranged to show connections of meaning within the sentence.

3. Van Vallin
In line with Matthew's explanation, Van Valin revealed the essence of the syntax itself as follows:

"First and foremost, syntax deals with how sentences are constructed, and users of human language employ a striking variety of possible arrangements of the elements in sentences."

So syntax is one of the branches of linguistics that studies the rules that determine how words form phrases and phrases form sentences. Syntax states the rules for using words, phrases, clauses and punctuation, specifically to form sentences.

Syntactic Rules 

English parts of speech often follow ordering patterns in sentences and clauses, such as compound sentences are joined by conjunctions (and, but, or) or that multiple adjectives modifying the same noun follow a particular order according to their class (such as number-size-color, as in "six small green chairs"). The rules of how to order words help the language parts make sense.

Sentences often start with a subject, followed by a predicate (or just a verb in the simplest sentences) and contain an object or a complement (or both), which shows, for example, what's being acted upon. Take the sentence "Beth slowly ran the race in wild, multicolored flip-flops." The sentence follows a subject-verb-object pattern ("Beth ran the race"). Adverbs and adjectives take their places in front of what they're modifying ("slowly ran"; "wild, multicolored flip-flops"). The object ("the race") follows the verb "ran", and the prepositional phrase ("in wild, multicolored flip-flops") starts with the preposition "in".

Types of Sentence Structures

Types of sentences and their syntax modes include simple sentences, compound sentences, complex sentences, and compound-complex sentences. Compound sentences are two simple sentences joined by a conjunction. Complex sentences have dependent clauses, and compound-complex sentences have both types included.

1. Simple sentence: Subject-verb structure ("The girl ran.")
2. Compound sentence: Subject-verb-object-conjunction-subject-verb structure ("The girl ran the marathon, and her cousin did, too.")
3. Complex sentence: Dependent clause-subject-verb-object structure ("Although they were tired after the marathon, the cousins decided to go to a celebration at the park.")
4. Compound-complex sentence: Four clauses, dependent and independent structures ("Although they weren't fond of crowds, this was different, they decided, because of the common goal that had brought everyone together.")

That's a little about what is syntax,
 Hopefully it can add to your insight. To complete my writing,, please.... give your comment in the comments column.💗😊🌸
