It explains words, phrases, clauses, and sentences as core units and highlights grammatical rules and sentence classification in traditional approaches, alongside mental representations, constructions, and meaning formation in cognitive approaches. The article demonstrates how formal and cognitive perspectives complement each other in understanding syntax.
