Grammatical Components
A unit is a linguistic sequence of varying composition which itself carries a grammatical structure or which operates in the structure of other grammatical patterns.Five grammatical units:– Sentence, clause, group, word, morpheme.
Units are related to each other hierarchically on the scale of rank.– All units, except the sentence, are characterized by their function in the
patterns.
