Meanings

1. According to the rules of syntax.
   • Thus, there is a third kind of judgment, which we shall call characterization. The wa-phrase and ga-phrase serve syntactically to distinguish predicational judgment not only from nonpredicational description but also from characterizational judgment. 1965 June 4, Shigeyuki Kuroda, “Generative grammatical studies in the Japanese language”, in DSpace@MIT, retrieved 24 Feb 2014:
   • The sentence was syntactically correct, but made no sense.
   • The other words in our corpus also have argument structures, but those argument structures are sometimes empty, such as in the case of many nouns. All this means is that these words don’t need other elements to complete them. A noun like Lana or pizza, for example, doesn’t need any other categories to be complete syntactically. 2025, Edward A. F. Gibson, “Dependency Grammar” (chapter 3), in Syntax: A Cognitive Approach, MIT Press, →DOI, →ISBN, page 55:
