Syntax is the set of rules for how words fit together correctly to make a sentence - which word order sounds right, where to put 'not', that kind of thing. Computer programmers also talk about syntax: the exact rules for writing code so the computer can understand it, where even one wrong symbol causes a 'syntax error'.
句法、語法；(程式)語法
組成From Greek 'syn-' (together) + 'taxis' (arrangement, order) - literally 'arranging together'

syntaxnoun/ˈsɪn.tæks/

A set of rules that govern how words are combined to form phrases and sentences.
- The incorporation of a rule of V MOVEMENT into our description of English Syntax turns out to have fundamental theoretical implications for our overall Theory of Grammar: it means that we are no longer able to posit that the syntactic structure of a sentence can be described in terms of a single Phrase-marker representing its S-structure. For, the postulation of a rule of V-MOVEMENT means that we must recognise at least two different levels of structure in our Theory of Grammar — namely, a level of D-structure (formerly known as ‘Deep Structureʼ) which serves as input to the rule, and a separate level of S-structure which is formed by application of the rule.
