Components that connect sounds and symbols together. Speakers use these components to achieve certain communication ends. The form or structure of a sentence is governed by the rules of syntax. Specify word, phrase, and clause order; sentence organization; and the relationships among words, word classes, and other sentence elements. The main elements of a sentence are noun and verb phrases. Spoken language is much more informal than written language and less constrained. Concerned with the internal organization of words. Words consist of one or more smaller units called morphemes. A morpheme is the smallest grammatical unity and is indivisible without violating the meaning or producing meaningless units. Free morphemes are independent and can stand alone: dog, big, happy. Bound morphemes are grammatical markers that cannot function independently: must be attached to free morphemes, s, -est, un-, and ly.
