According to Charles W. Morris, syntactics is the relation between a given sign-vehicle and other sign-vehicles. There is a critical distinction here between Morris's "syntactics" and the linguistic subcategory of "syntax". While syntax puts emphasis on word order and parsing , syntactics is much broader in scope. Syntactics allows for any kind of among-sign relationships. Morris makes this point explicitly in his statement that there are "syntactical problems in the fields of perceptual signs, aesthetic signs, the practical use of signs, and general linguistics."... At least three kinds of sign relationships seem to fall under Morris's umbrella of syntactics . These include: ”the consideration of signs and sign combinations so far as they are subject of syntactical rules” , ”the way in which signs of various classes are combined to form compound signs” , and ”the formal relations of signs to one another” .
