What does in syntax study

In general, syntax means a set of grammar rules for words or clauses in forming sentences. Usually, in written sentences and conversations, we see syntax elements in words or clauses that we usually refer to as subject, verb, and object.

 Subject, verb, and object in syntax rules are always sequential. At the same time, in some cases, syntax rules allow other words or clauses such as adverbs or information that clarify subject, verb, and object to add.

There are two parts of the sentence that are very important in analyzing the syntax, namely: phrases and clauses.

Phrase
Phrase is a group of words that functions as a unit in a sentence (a group of words that forms a grammatical unit). Phrase is divided into several, that is;

1.Phrase Noun

The noun phrase is a phrase that comes from the noun (nouns) that serves as the subject or object of the sentence. The noun phrase is a nominal or pronominal preceded by a determinant or a word of clothing or a noun preceded by one or more adjectives that are entirely preceded by the word clothing. Example:

1) The Doctor

   det noun
2) A beautiful girl

det adjective noun

2. Verb Phrase

The verb phrase is a phrase that consists of a mixture of verbal verbs.The verb phrase is a verbal phrase. The verb phrase consists of a single phrase that is sometimes a combination of main verbs and auxiliary verbs, but may also be added specifiers, complements, and adjuncts. Example:

Binar has taken the job.

          aux verb

He has been coming late everyday.

      aux verb

  3. Adjective Phrase

A noun phrase or adjective is a phrase derived from the adjective used to attribute the noun or pronouns.

                          AdjP

4. Adverbial phrase (Adverb Phrase)

The adverbial phrase is a phrase that serves as a verb used to describe the verb (verbs).

AdvP

5. Prepositional Phrase

Clause 
The free clause (main clause) is a free clause (inherent clause) contained in a complex sentence.

1.Independent Clause
The free clause is a clause that has a complete structure and has the potential to be a major sentence.

 2.Dependendent clause

A bound clause is a clause that has an incomplete structure, usually accompanied by elements of subordinative conjunction. A bound clause can also be defined as a clause that can not stand alone as a perfect sentence, only has potential as an incomplete sentence. Viewed from its function, these bound clauses can be distinguished, namely;

- Noun Clause
The clause that acts as a noun is characterized by the existence of wh-words, how, and that.

-Adjective Clause
The bound clause that acts as an adjective is characterized by the relative pronoun, which is, whom, which, which, and that.

-Adverbial Clause
Tied Klusa acting as adverbial marked with subordinate conjunction.
