SYNTAX*



Syntax is the study how words combine to form sentences. It is also called grammar. But you have to know that syntax is not about meaning! Sentences  can have no sense, but the  grammatical is correct.
*colorless green ideas sleep furiously – nonsense, but grammatical is correct.
*sleep  ideas  colorless furiously  green -  grammatical is incorrect.

Syntax  which can be analyzed  into what are called clause functions: subject, predicator, object, complement,and adverbial. But the most important are subject and predicator.



In syntax we will be studying specifically how words ->phrases ->clauses -> sentences are structured.




A. Word Classes: subject, noun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, etc.
ex:  box, buy, small, etc.
B. Phrases: a group of word classes without a subject-verb component, used as a single part of speech -> noun phrase, verb phrase, adjective phrase, adverb phrase, prepositional phrase.
Noun phrase :  my bag, the tree
Verb phrase : has been stolen, is writing
Adjective phrase : very happy,
Adverb phrase :  furiously, too  slowly
Prepositional phrase :  on the crowded road

C. Clauses: a group of words containing a subject and verb (made up of phrases)
1.independent (can stand on its own)
ex : I went to the market

2.dependent (cannot stand on its own) = >often begin with such words as although, since, if, when, and because.
ex:  I went to the market because I wanted to buy two boxes of milk

D. Sentences: two or more clauses together to make sentences

Sentence can be divided to :
a.simple sentence : contains one independent clause
ex : I  went to the market
      
b.compound sentence : contains two independent  clauses
ex :  I went to the market, I bought two boxes of  milk ( can use a comma or conjunctions )

other  examples ; 
 he plays gitar  and  I play piano.
 Jimin has been  studying , his mom  brings cake for him
  I have told you about that yesterday and  you  still  did not understand.

c.compound complex sentence : contains contains one or more  independent clausffes  and at least one dependent clause.

Ex : I went to market, I bought two boxes of milk that I needed

Thanks for your critics. Btw, I have edited it like you wanted

You know construction ? In Indonesia = penyusunan. It is same like independent and dependent clause. If you still don't understand, you can look for other references in internet.

Good question. The difference between syntax and semantics is syntax is not about meaning. Just explain about how structure of a sentence. And semantics will explain the meaning of that sentence.

Unknown

Thanks. Have a nice moment in my blog :)

Unknown

Yes. I can. I have changed it. Thanks for your critic. Enjoy in my blog :)

Unknown

Yess. Sure. I want to say thanks. You had spent your time to visit my blog.

Unknown

Sure. You can. But I ll make it in my post. I will be editing my post and adding the example that you want.

Unknown

Thanks. Do you want to know ? Ok. I'm so excited about syntax. Caused in syntax we will be studying how words are combined to be a sentence. How it is structured. It is not difficult like people says that grammar is so bad. Hey guys! It needs process. We can try again again and again. For me, grammar is like a game. You can not be a winner for one game, right ?

Thank you sir for your critic. I have edited it.

Yess. Kind of you. Thanks :)

I think if the people will say,maybe katakan saja,karena bahasa yang baik itu adalah adanya komunikasi yang baik,so apakah tanpa pengetahuan tntang syntax kita tidak bisa brbahasa?
