syntax

La syntaxe est, à l'origine, la branche de la linguistique qui étudie la manière dont les mots se combinent pour former des phrases ou des énoncés dans une langue.Syntax is, in the beginning, the branch of linguistics that studies the way in which words combine to form sentences or utterances in a language.

From Middle French sintaxe, borrowed from Late Latin syntaxis, from Ancient Greek σύνταξις (súntaxis), from σύν (sún, “together”) + τάξις (táxis, “arrangement”), from τάσσω (tássō, “to arrange”).
