FOUNDATIONS OF SYNTAX: THEORETICAL APPROACHES AND THE STRUCTURE OF PHRASES AND SENTENCES
Main Article Content
Аннотация:
Syntax forms the core of grammatical organization in any language, providing the rules that govern how words combine to create meaningful structures. This article offers an overview of the foundational concepts of syntax, introducing major and minor syntactic approaches including structural, cognitive, and semantic perspectives. It examines the main categories of syntax—phrases and sentences—highlighting their roles in shaping linguistic meaning and grammatical relations. Special attention is given to phrase theory, its definition, and the classification of phrase types such as coordinate, subordinate, and predicative phrases. The article also discusses the problematic cases of mixed or transitional phrase types, emphasizing the complexity and flexibility of syntactic structures. Through this analysis, the study presents a clear and comprehensive understanding of how contemporary linguistics interprets the structure and function of phrases and sentences.
