Complex Russian language is learn many sections of sciences: spelling, orphoepium, morphology and many others. This article will help to understand what the syntax is and what he studies.

What is syntax?

Syntax - section of the science of language that is engaged in the study of the structure and connections between the parts of speech in phrases and suggestions.

In the themes that the syntax studies are as follows:

• Construction and composition of proposals and phrases
• Types of ties of words inside the syntax units
• Different types of syntactic units and their role in language
• Main and secondary members of the sentence, grammatical basis

Science Syntax appeared only in the 19th century, although development prerequisites were still in ancient times. At different times, there were different concepts about the main syntactic unit. Once it was believed that this proposal or phrase, and at another time they took the entire text.

Units of syntax

There are three main syntactic units:

1. The phrases are two or more words related to the subordination link. Used to describe or name anything, and not a means of narrative. It does not express a complete and complete thought. The phrases are not those words that are subject to and led or having a writing. For example, "rain comes" or "smart and beautiful."
2. The proposal of a complete unit of a language that has a semantic load and serve for the formation and expression of thought. In Russian, simple and complex offers are allocated. Simple consist only from the subject and faithful, and there are also secondary members of the sentences in complex: definitions, additions, circumstances.
3. Members of the sentence. The syntax studies members of proposals and their role in the text, so they can also be considered a syntactic unit, one word can be a different member in different proposals depending on the form of the word and phrases. The proposals may attend the main and secondary members.

Communication in syntax

In phrases and suggestions, all words and parts of complex proposals are connected with each other. There are two types of syntactic links:

Writing. It binds equal units among themselves. With this connection, part of the proposal can be divided or deleted and the meaning of the sentence will not suffer. For example, the offer "The snow spin slowly and smoothly" can be easily divided into two independent. Snow spin slowly. Snow spinmed smoothly.

Communicative. Binds parts of proposals, one of which is the main one, and the other dependent on it. From an independent part, you can always ask a question to dependent. For example, "The Sun, which has already sat down, continued to cover the shore." What kind of sun?

Thus, the syntax is one of the most important parts of the study of the Russian language, because it is it that determines the communications with honey with words and suggestions.
