The Meaning of Syntax

Syntax

Definition of Syntax

Syntax is the arrangement of words into a sentence that make sense in a given language. Syntax also refers to the rules and principles that govern sentence structure in a language, i.e., how words and phrases may be joined. Syntax therefore is not a strictly literary device, but instead is part of every utterance and written line, and even the majority of thoughts. Though linguists have looked for syntactical rules that are universal in every language, it is now clear that there is no “natural way” to express a thought. Syntax varies widely in different languages.
