syntactic

Etymology

From New Latin syntacticus, from Ancient Greek συντακτικός (suntaktikós).

adj

  1. Of, related to or connected with syntax.
    The sentence “I saw he” contains a syntactic mistake.
    the rules specifying how agglutinative morphemes are combined with each other are more syntactic than morphological by their nature and thus are closer to rules specifying how word-forms are combined with each other. 2001, Martin Haspelmath, Language Typology and Language Universals: An International Handbook, page 674
  2. Containing morphemes that are combined in the same order as they would be if they were separate words e.g. greenfinch
