Generation

# Syntax and Phrase Structure **Syntax** is the set of rules governing how words combine to form grammatical sentences in a language. **Phrase structure** describes how words group into hierarchical constituents (phrases) according to these rules, where smaller units combine to form larger ones. The key formula is the **phrase structure rule**: **XP → (Specifier) X (Complement)**, where XP is any phrase type (NP, VP, etc.), X is the head that determines the phrase's category, and specifiers and complements are optional dependent elements. For example, a verb phrase follows VP → (Adv) V (NP), as in "quickly ate the apple."
