It is that area, within grammar, that studies and establishes the rules to promote a correct combination of words, the ways in which compositions can be established, as well as the syntagmatic and paradigmatic relationships between words.
Likewise, one of the most common cases where the resource is used is in the sentence, in which the syntactic constitution can be observed objectively, in hierarchical groups of terms; These, in turn, can be classified, taking into account the work they do as constituents of the sentence, being more notable those that play an important role, however, they can also be analyzed dividing them into less complex constituents.
Basically, the syntax is oriented to the description and identification of the elements that make up a sentence; Despite this, there is a classification made under the principle of their functions that they fulfill: the first is in charge of carrying out the aforementioned work, as well as investigating how the language was developed as a communication tool with extreme functionality being, of fact, called functional syntax; For its part, generative syntax is dedicated to analyzing how the human brain is able to find meaning and organize words unconsciously, forming part of a primitive and basic constituent of natural language.
Normally, during the identification of the constituents of sentences, abbreviations tend to be used, which accurately describe the element found, these are: ST: time phrase or sentence, SN: noun phrase, SD: determining phrase, SV: Verb phrase, SC: complementary phrase, SP: prepositional phrase, N: noun, adjective or pronoun, V: verb, P: preposition, C: complement, D: determiner; each one represents certain words in a grammatical construction, from the time the event described happened, to the protagonist of it.
