Pronunciation: /sɪnˈtæktɪk/

adj

Etymology: From New Latin syntacticus, from Ancient Greek συντακτικός (suntaktikós).

  1. Of, related to or connected with syntax.

    “The sentence “I saw he” contains a syntactic mistake.”

    “the rules specifying how agglutinative morphemes are combined with each other are more syntactic than morphological by their nature and thus are closer to rules specifying how word-forms are combined with each other.”

  2. Containing morphemes that are combined in the same order as they would be if they were separate words e.g. greenfinch
