Syntax

Syntax is how space is used for grammar, word order. Generally in American Sign language the order of words in a sentence follows a "TOPIC""COMMENT" arrangement. This could also be called "subject" + "predicate" sentence structure. You will often see this structure: "TIME" + "TOPIC" + "COMMENT." For example: "WEEK-PAST ME WASH CAR" or "WEEK-PAST CAR WASH ME."
