According to Yules (2004) as we try to capture more aspects of the structure of complex English sentences we inevitably need to indentify more rules and concepts involved in the analysis of syntax
Symbols
Complement phrases
Movement rules
Lexical rules
Abbreviation for syntactic categories
Grammatically incorrect is represented by an *
Rules must be:
Accured
Gennerative grammar
Small & infinite set of rules that GENERATE not only describe
Deep surface structure :The syntax form, and divide the elements in a sentence
Apply for many situations
Proved
Clear
Tree diagrams: Are visual representations of syntactic structures
Hirerarchical organization
Phase structure rules
Recursion
Means that the rule can be present more than ones
Syntax
The structure and ordering of components within a sentence
