Syntax - The Object Study

Syntax is the study of sentence structure. It analyzes how words combine to form sentences. Studying syntax is important for understanding how the parts of a sentence, like the subject, predicate, object, and modifiers relate to each other and contribute to the overall meaning. The main parts of a sentence are the subject and predicate, with secondary parts including objects, attributes, and adverbial modifiers that provide additional context about actions, qualities, or circumstances.

Syntax- the object study

What is syntax?

Syntax is the study of the structure


of sentences.

Syntax analyzes how words combine to form


sentences.

Sentences are made up of smaller units, called


phrases (which in turn are made up of words).
Why should we study syntax?
We speak in sentences not in words. To understand the
structure of a language it is necessary to study the
structure of sentences.

If we learn to analyze the structure of sentences, we will


also learn to analyze their meaning.

The study of syntax is the study of the function of


words, which is necessary to understand the structure
and the meaning of a language.
