Comparative Syntax

Comparative Syntax is a field of linguistics that examines the structural differences and similarities between the syntactic (sentence structure) rules of different languages. It analyzes how various languages organize words and phrases to form sentences, looking at aspects like word order and grammatical relationships. By comparing these elements, researchers can uncover patterns and principles that govern language structure, providing insights into language evolution and cognitive processes. This exploration helps linguists understand the diversity of human language and its universal characteristics.
