Part III
Syntax.
Syntax treats of the relation, agreement, government, and arrangement, of words in sentences. The relation of words is their reference to other words, or their dependence according to the sense.
The agreement of words is their similarity in person, number, gender, case, mood, tense, or form.
The government of words is that power which one word has over an other, to cause it to assume some particular modification.
The arrangement of words is their collocation, or relative position, in a sentence.
