Syntax refers to the ordering of words and phrases in order to effectively communicate. The location of a word or phrase in a sentence can completely change the meaning. Broken syntax would be a disordering of words that impedes or completely prevents effective communication. Remember from Mary Poppins: I met a fellow in town with a wooden leg named Charley. What was the name of his other leg?
