English

Adjective

morphosyntactic ‎(not comparable)

1. Pertaining to morphosyntax.
   • 1988, Andrew Radford, chapter 6, in Transformational grammar: a first course, Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, page 305:

     It is, of course, important to draw a fundamental distinction here between Tense (a morphosyntactic property) and Time Reference (a semantic property). So, for example, in (60) below:
     (60)      If I went there tomorrow, would you come with me?
     went is morphologically a past-tense form, and yet is used in a future timeframe.
