Syntagma

Syntagma, in grammatical terms, refers to a group of words that function together as a single unit within a sentence, serving a specific role like a subject, object, or complement. It typically consists of a head word (such as a noun or verb) and its modifiers or related words. For example, in “The tall man,” the entire phrase is a syntagma functioning as a subject, with “man” as the head and “The tall” as modifiers. Syntagmas help organize sentence structure, making communication clear and coherent.
