Whenever we refer to grammar, we attribute to it a set of norms that govern the linguistic system. For this reason, we are always in contact with the precepts determined by it, in specific situations (by for example, when we are led to write about something or even in school environments, while apprentices).
However, we are not normally interested in knowing whether this or that content with which we establish familiarity belongs to this or that part of the grammar. The fact is that the various subjects it portrays belong to specific divisions of study that undoubtedly become open to our knowledge. Therefore, this article aims to point them out, so that we are aware of all the characteristics that guide them. These, in turn, are manifested as follows:
Phonology - It represents the part whose objective is to study the smallest distinct elements, sometimes called phonemes, which differentiate the meaning of words, as well as the syllables that these phonemes form. Integrating this part are the orthoepics, which represents the study of the articulation and pronunciation of words, the prosody, which undertakes the study of tonic accentuation of these and spelling, which is concerned with the way in which words are spelled.
Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)
In the meantime, we highlight the study of vowels, semivowels, consonants, digraphs, vowel clusters, consonant clusters, classification of syllables as for tonicity, as for the number presented by means of the syllabic division, the use of the letters, in view of their respective situations of use, between others.
Morphology - Its purpose is to study the structure, formation and bending mechanisms of words. According to this intent, we can say that the grammatical classes represent the main target, that is, the study of nouns, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, conjunctions, interjections, verbs, articles, numerals and prepositions.
Syntax - It comprises the study of the relationships that are established between the terms of prayer. Therefore, it is divided into function syntax, which studies the structure of clause and period, and relationship syntax, prioritizing conducting, pronominal placement and agreement. The essential terms of the clause (subject and predicate), integral terms (complements) represent the object of study. verbal, nominal complement, agent of the liability) and the accessory terms (adjunct adnominal, adverbial, bet and vocative).
