Morphosyntax... Does this little word refer you to some notion? It may even be that you have already forgotten, let's say, some details... However, it doesn't hurt to remind them, does it? Well then, let's go to the text “Morphosyntax”
What we find there concerns nothing more or less than the fact that a given word is analyzed according to the grammatical class to which it belongs. (morphology), as well as being analyzed according to the role it plays within a sentence (syntax). Thus, we have that these two aspects, when manifested simultaneously (together), make the occurrence we are talking about to prevail, especially in an adequate way..
Thus, when we referenceto the morphosyntax of the noun, it means that we affirm that he will be able, according to the situation in which he finds himself employed in prayer,assume different roles – of which we are also already aware. Now, try to remember the direct object, nominal complement, subject, subject predicative, adverbial adjunct, among many others. So, let's look at some situations in which we can see this fact? Watch carefully:
The noun can take on different functions within a sentence.
# Subject
The girl is beautiful.
We have the subject – the girl, and the core of that subject = girl – noun.
# Subject's predicate
She is good girl.
Girl = noun = subject's predicative
# Indirect object
We need of love.
Love = noun = indirect object
# Nominal complement
we need of love.
Love = noun = noun complement
# Liability agent
we were surprised by the visitors.
Visitors = noun = passive agent
# Vocative
Students, do the research.
Students = noun = vocative
# Adverbial Adjunct
we went for a walk at the mall.
Shopping = noun = adverbial adjunct of place
# I bet
Beatriz, student, got the best grade in the room.
Student = noun = bet
# Direct object
we read the books.
Books = noun = direct object
As you can see, there are many functions, isn't it? Thus, know that it does not only occur with the noun, but with many other cases that represent the ten grammatical classes, ok?
