Syntax is a sub-field of LINGUISTICS. It is
the grammatical arrangement of words into
sentences and utterances. In studying syntax,
a linguist breaks down sentences and analyses
their structure, looking for patterns of
grammar and the presence of different clauses
that make up most sentences. In English
syntax is arranged with the order of
subject-verb-object as in "I went there".
