PART 5 Syntax

Syntax is the component of grammar responsible for the combination of simple items, be it words or signs, into phrases, clauses and sentences.

         In this section, the reader will find a description of the different domains of syntactic structure and their internal organization in terms of order, agreement and other dependency phenomena.

         We start introducing sentence types (SYNTAX 1), clause structure (SYNTAX 2), coordination and the different types of subordinated constructions (SYNTAX 3). We close this part with a description of the internal structure of the noun phrase (SYNTAX 4) and adjectival phrase (SYNTAX 5).
