Syntax
From UNLwiki
In Linguistics, syntax is "the study of the principles and processes by which sentences are constructed in particular languages"[1]. It assumes that:
- natural language sentences can be broken down into components (the so-called syntactic constituents); and
- the resulting structure is hierarchical (a tree-like structure) rather than a simple list.
