those principles and rules which teach us how to put words together so as to form sentences. It means, in short, sentence-making. Having been taught by
the rules of Etymology what are the relationships of words, how words grow out of each other, how they are varied in their letters in order to correspond
with the variation in the circumstances to which they apply, Syntax will teach you how to give all your words their proper situations or places, when
you come to put them together into sentences” William Cobbett:1818
“Syntax studies the organization of words into phrases and phrases into sentences” Bolinger,1975:171.
“Syntax is the part of grammar dealing with the other types of grammatical units” Bi ber, 2002:13.
“Syntax is the study of the principles and processes by which sentences are constructed in particular language” Chomsky, 1961:11
“Sintaksis membicarakan kata dalam hubungannya dengan kata lain, atau unsur- unsur lain sebagai ujaran”
Chaer, 1994:2006 “syntax talks about word and its relation with other words, or other elements as an utterance”
