WHAT DOES SYNTACTIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Syntax

In linguistics, syntax is "the study of the principles and processes by which sentences are constructed in particular languages." In addition to referring to the discipline, the term syntax is also used to refer directly to the rules and principles that govern the sentence structure of any individual language. Modern research in syntax attempts to describe languages in terms of such rules. Many professionals in this discipline attempt to find general rules that apply to all natural languages. The term syntax is also used to refer to the rules governing the behavior of mathematical systems, such as formal languages used in logic.

Definition of syntactic in the English dictionary
