Contents:
The formation and analysis of sentences and sentence structure are in understand and producing language. Syntactic relations between words and/or larger linguistic units are considered language universals that can be analyzed and viewed from different perspectives. These perspectives are syntactic theories or Grammars, each of which is based on a different set of hypotheses and has a different focus. Traditional Grammar with its analysis of subject, predicate, object etc. is but one of many theories that can help break down a sentence to its most basic meaning but other models like Valence Grammar or Generative Grammar approach sentence structure from a standpoint that is more heavily based on modern linguistic knowledge. These and other grammatical models will be taught at least in their most basic iteration and students will work on texts at home to train their proficiency in syntactical analysis.
