Chapter 4 Syntax

1. What is syntax?

Syntax is a branch of linguistics that studies how words are combined to form

sentences and the rules that govern the formation of sentences.

2. What is phrase structure rule?

The grammatical mechanism that regulates the arrangement of elements (i.e.

specifiers, heads, and complements) that make up a phrase is called a phrase structure rule.

NP → (Det) N (PP) ...

VP → (Qual) V (NP) ...

AP → (Deg) A (PP) ...

PP → (Deg) P (NP) ...

We can formulate a single general phrasal structural rule in which X stands for the

head N, V, A or P.

The XP rule: XP → (specifier) X (complement)
