NOTES FOR SYNTAX

Syntactic languages, such as English,

use word order to indicate word relationships.

Inflected languages (see inflection), such as Greek and Latin,

use word endings and other inflections to indicate relationships.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Did You Know?

Syntax is basically about what word comes before and after another word;

in other words, it's part of the larger subject of grammar.

Syntax is often an issue in poetry, and it's usually discussed in connection with diction—that is, the poet's choice of words.

So, for example, your English professor might point out the syntactic differencebetween

"Whose woods these are I think I know" and "I think I know whose woods these are;"

whereas if the discussion was about diction instead,

the question might be about the choice of "woods" rather than "land",or "think" rather than "bet".

Grammar – syntax

Grammar is not a list of rules involving “do’s and don’ts”

As usually applied in speech and in some writing,

the word usage should be substituted for grammar.

Grammar itself is the science that deals with words and their relationships to each other.

It is concerned with a consideration and account of the features of a language and with speech and writing according to various standards of usage but not according to correctness, as such.

When someone is said to use bad grammar, all that can be meant is that he uses language in some way that is not currently and generally acceptedor that his usage is not in line with prevailing practice.

Syntax is a study of the signs that appear in a system and, as applied to language, deals with the arrangement of words in a sentence to show their relationship.

It is a rather vague and general term but one for which our language has no adequate substitute.

Although syntax is a branch of grammar, the latter term is more useful in referring to word order, parts of speech, and the like.

Common Errors in English Usage Dictionary

It’s amazing how many people write to thank me for helping them with their “grammer.” It’s “grammar.”

The word is often incorrectly used to label patterns of spelling and usage that have nothing to do with the structure of language, the proper subject of grammar in the most conservative sense.

Not all bad writing is due to bad grammar
