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 different meanings based on word order and structure. This foundational aspect of linguistics and computer science enables the development of algorithms and systems that can interpret and generate language accurately.
