Syntax
is a part of linguistics. It is also a part of the grammar of every language.
And the grammar of a language is part of native speaker’s linguistic knowledge.
Everyone who can speak knows how to use
the rules and it is amazing that
children can do it so fast. But nobody can really state exactly what the rules are. Therefore by understanding
syntax (and morphology) can help researchers to understand how young children
learn their native language.
Despite
that simplicity, tree diagrams can represent phrase structure accurately. Although
it may come to the ambiguity, we should see the context of the sentence before
we can analyze it.
At
first, we must understand and know how to differentiate the syntactic
categories such as below:
The
main structure rules that we must remember and apply to analyze the sentence
are:
i-
S - NP (Aux) VP
ii-
NP - (Det) (AP) N (PP)
iii-
VP - V (NP) (PP) (Adv)
iv-
PP - P NP
v-
AP - A (PP)
When
we understand the rules, it will be easier for us to analyze the sentence
structure and reducing the grammatical errors.
