Syntax is a branch of linguistic studies which comes after Phonology and Morphology. It is a content subject which concerns with language structures that goes beyond word and phrasal levels. More precisely, this subject deals with how words are combined to form phrases and clauses or sentences, rules that govern the formation, and how elements in the formation
(or structure) relates and interacts one with another. Doing this subject, learners try to identify and describe:
(a). The relationship among constituents/elements in a syntactic structure.
(b). The hierarchical order of the constituents/elements in the structure.
(c). The category of the consituents/elements that compose the structure.
(d). The function of the constituents/elements that build up the structure.
(e). The combination and the structure of those syntactic units which include phrase, basic clauses/sentences, compound clauses/sentences and complex clauses/sentences.
