What are Syntactic Relations? In linguistics, syntactic relations
(= grammatical functions, grammatical roles, syntactic functions, grammatical relations) refer to functional relationships between constituents in a clause or phrase.
Relation between the constituents of various types of phrases or sentences is called Syntactic Relations.

What is Tree Diagram? A tree diagram is a way of representing
the hierarchical nature of a structure in a graphical form. It is named a "tree diagram" because the classic representation resembles a tree, even though the chart is generally upside down compared to an actual tree, with the "root" at the top and the "leaves" at the bottom.
Tree diagram provides us visual representation of the constituents of the corresponding expression.
It looks like a family tree.

What is CONSTITUENT COMMAND or C-COMMAND?
From the above examples, C-Command can be defined as follows:
A constituent X c-commands its sister Y and any constituent Z which is contained within Y.

Explanation of CONSTITUENT COMMAND or C-COMMAND
We can give example of importance of C-Command relation in syntactic description by looking at ANAPHORS (especially REFLEXIVES and RECIPROCALS)
• He must feel proud of himself. (“He” is antecedent of “himself” and “himself” is bound by “He”)
• The people help one another. (“The people” is antecedent of “one another” and “one another” is bound by “The people”.)
![Page 19: Basic terms of tree diagram](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/58ececfb1a28abcb4d8b4879/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Explanation of CONSTITUENT COMMAND or C-COMMAND
We can give example of importance of C-Command relation in syntactic description by looking at ANAPHORS (especially REFLEXIVES and RECIPROCALS)
• He must feel proud of herself. (“He” is antecedent and requires singular masculine reflexive--himself to form grammatical structure but here is “herself” and forms an ungrammatical structure.)
• The two men help one another. (“The two men” is antecedent and requires reciprocal—each other to form grammatical structure but here is “one another” and forms an ungrammatical structure.)
