  PHRASE        According to X-Bar Theory In the study of generative grammar, X-bar theory (Chomsky, 1970; Jackendoff, 1977) provides a structural model for how phrases are formed in natural language. Rather than viewing phrases as flat strings of words, X-bar theory treats them as hierarchical structure s built around a head , with predictable layers of specifiers , complements , and modifiers . “Each phrasal category (NP, VP, AdjP, AdvP, and PP) is projected from a lexical head, governed by a universal schema across languages.” Jackendoff (1977, p. 35) The basic X-bar schema:         XP        /   \     Spec    X'           /   \         X      Comp ·        X is the head (noun, verb, adjective, etc.) ·    ...

This shows how syntax works behind the scenes to shape meaning. Chomsky also believed in something called Universal Grammar a built-in knowledge of grammar t...
