Which components are studied in grammar?

• A. Pragmatics and Discourse
• B. Morphology and Syntax
• C. Lexicon and Orthography
• D. Phonology and Semantics

Answer: (B)

Grammar focuses on the structure of language at the word and sentence level. Morphology studies how words are formed from morphemes—the smallest meaningful units—and how their forms change to express tense, number, case, and other grammatical features. Syntax looks at how words combine into phrases and sentences, including word order and the hierarchical relationships that make meaning clear. Together, morphology and syntax cover the building blocks and arrangement rules that grammar describes. Other areas—pragmatics and discourse (language use in context), lexicon and orthography (vocabulary and spelling), and phonology and semantics (sound systems and meaning)—deal with aspects outside the core grammatical structure.
