Description

From top to bottom, the rank scale is a hierarchy of increasingly less-inclusive grammatical units, stretching from the clause, down through groups and phrases, through words, to morpheme units. Groups and phrases are therefore the immediate constituents of clauses, and have word units as their own immediate constituents. This chapter considers these.
