- - - - what's sentence?
        
        In non-functional linguistics, a sentence is a textual unit consisting of one or more words that are grammatically linked.
        
        A group of words that convey a complete meaning
        
        Exists in both spoken and written form
        
        Basic structure in semantics
        
        The semantic structure varies according to the language. However, a sentence basically has a subject, a verb, and an object.
      - what's word order?
        
        In linguistics, word order typology is the study of the order of the syntactic constituents of a language, and how different languages employ different orders.
        
        what's constituents?
        
        In syntactic analysis, a constituent is a word or a group of words that functions as a single unit within a hierarchical structure.
        
        Many synthetic languages such as Latin, Greek, Persian, Romanian, Assyrian, Russian, Turkish, Korean, Japanese, Finnish, and Basque have no strict word order; rather, the sentence structure is highly flexible and reflects the pragmatics of the utterance.
        
        what's synthetic language?
        
        A synthetic language uses inflection or agglutination to express syntactic relationships within a sentence.
        
        what's inflection?
        
        Inflection is the addition of morphemes to a root word that assigns grammatical property to that word, while agglutination is the combination of two or more morphemes into one word.
        
        In linguistic morphology, inflection (or inflexion) is a process of word formation,[1] in which a word is modified to express different grammatical categories such as tense, case, voice, aspect, person, number, gender, mood, animacy, and definiteness.
        
        what does the pragmatics of the utterance mean?
        
        what's utterance?
        
        In spoken language analysis, an utterance is the smallest unit of speech. It is a continuous piece of speech beginning and ending with a clear pause. In the case of oral languages, it is generally, but not always, bounded by silence. Utterances do not exist in written language, however, only their representations do.
