AI overview
Syntax is the study of how words and smaller units of language combine to form phrases and sentences, with particular attention to word order, grammar, and sentence structure. Understanding syntax matters because it's central to how language works—it reveals the rules governing how we construct meaningful expressions and shows how these patterns vary across different languages.
