Syntax

Syntax refers to the set of rules and principles that govern the structure of sentences in a language. It encompasses how words combine to form phrases, clauses, and complete sentences, allowing for meaningful communication. In both human languages and programming languages, syntax plays a crucial role in determining how information is conveyed. Understanding syntax is essential for effective language processing, as it helps distinguish between grammatically correct and incorrect constructions. The study of syntax also reveals insights into the underlying structures shared across different languages, highlighting the universal aspects of human communication.
