  2. Morphology : It is study of speech sounds put together to have meaning and how words are composed of these units of meaning.
  3. Syntax : It refers to the organized rules we use for combining words into phrases and sentences and includes parts of speech, word order and basic sentence patterns. Tests that measure syntax, Parts of speech, Word order and Transformation
