1. The Understanding of Syntax

2. The Analysis of Syntactical Theory

Syntactical Theory has purpose to develop the study of syntax itself

about the ways forming sentenceand also the similarities in various

Latin, where they discovered all the basic ideas of grammar word
classes,
dependency links, coordination, dependent type (such as subject

 4. Transformational generative grammar

In here, the structure of sentence is represented by phrase structure tree, otherwise known as
phrase marker of tree diagram. Such tree-diagram provides information about the sentences
that they represent by showing the hierarchical relations between their component parts.
For example:
