Syntax

The branch of linguistics that deals with the grammatical arrangement of linguistic elements (words and other morphemes) in sentences, clauses, and phrases.  Some languages have an SVO (Subject-Verb-Object) word order (e.g., English) and others have an SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) word order (e.g., Japanese, Turkish).
