preparation for constituent status

[alewka]

Пожалуйста, помогите перевести.

Выражение встречается в следующем контексте:

Constituent structure. Now there are a number of points that are worth noting here. Firstly, the processing of nouns and verbs through their systems has to be co-ordinated. The marking of plurality on the noun, for example, has to match up with a corresponding marking on the verb to which it relates. In other words, they have to fit together as interdependent constituents of a larger structure, that of the sentence.
Secondly, this preparation for constituent status may involve only the use of an inflection as in 'artists', 'lives', and so on.
