Which language aspect is concerned with the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences?

The correct choice is syntax. Syntax is the aspect of language that focuses on the structure and arrangement of words and phrases to form meaningful and grammatically correct sentences. It defines the rules and principles that govern how words combine to express various ideas or functions within a language.

Understanding syntax is essential for effective communication, as it allows speakers and listeners to comprehend sentences as coherent thoughts rather than a random assortment of words. For example, in English, a simple sentence must follow a specific order, such as subject-verb-object, to convey its intended meaning.

Pragmatics, while important for understanding language in context, deals with how language is used in social situations rather than the structural aspect of sentence formation. Phonology refers to the sound system of a language and how sounds function and relate to each other, but it does not address sentence structure. Morphology focuses on the formation and structure of words themselves, including prefixes and suffixes, rather than how those words are combined to form sentences.

By knowing that syntax governs the arrangement of words and phrases, educators can better support Deaf and Hard of Hearing students in developing their language skills by providing clear examples and practice in constructing sentences correctly.
