Phrase Structure Grammar

Phrase Structure Grammar is a way of analyzing sentences by breaking them down into their basic components or phrases, such as noun phrases ("the dog") and verb phrases ("is running"). It describes how these components are organized and related to form grammatically correct sentences. Think of it as a blueprint that shows how smaller parts fit together to create larger, meaningful expressions. This method helps linguists understand the structure of language systematically, allowing for consistent analysis of sentence formation across different languages and contexts.
