Sentence: Comparison
Please note this is a comparison between Version 1 by Dean Liu and Version 2 by Dean Liu.

A sentence is a grammatical unit that functions as a complete structural construction within a language system and typically consists of one or more clauses organized according to syntactic principles [1]. In linguistic analysis, sentences are distinguished from smaller syntactic units, such as phrases and individual words, by their potential to form independent grammatical expressions and by the presence of clause-level organization [2]. The internal structure of a sentence may involve relationships among constituents, including subjects, predicates, complements, and other syntactic elements, while the specific formal properties of sentences vary across languages according to their grammatical systems [1].
