CHAPTER 8 Syntax DESCRIPTION REFLECTIONS In linguistics, syntax (/ˈsɪnˌtæks/) is the set of rules, principles, and processes that govern the structure of sentences in a given language, specifically word order and punctuation. The term syntax is also used to refer to the study of such principles and processes. The goal of many syntacticians is to discover the syntactic rules common to all languages. In mathematics, syntax refers to the rules governing the behavior of mathematical systems, such as formal languages used in logic. The word syntax comes from Ancient Greek: σύνταξις "coordination", which consists of σύν syn, "together," and τάξις táxis, "an ordering". In this chapter I learned how to disaggregate sentences and know their form, structure and to classify when it is verb, subject and predicate. Taught me many things that I can now put into practice.
