syntax

['sɪntæks] abbr.
abrév. syn; synt
litt. The sentence arrangement of a language or standard word order. Standard English syntax operates on a Subject-Verb-Object pattern; however poets sometimes adjust syntax to accomplish poetic effects. Deliberately unsettling word sequence for a poetic effect is called anastrophe.
