Structural grammar is an interesting grammar view of the language. In a sense, there is an approach to syntax that does not distinguish syntactic rules and the grammar lexicon. Theoretically and methodically, it has been developed since the 1980s, especially in Western European and the United States. Supporters of this concept understand grammar as a complex of constructions. It means solid syntactic units, which act as means of construction in the production of specific language statements. Constructions are organized in complex language hierarchy structures, including lexical units and morphological rules, whose schematic syntactical constructs with more or less complex internal structure are produced. Structural grammar reveals combining techniques in constructions, deconstructs texts, and provides real assumptions about the use and construction of structures. Each construction is a bilateral unit that combines the form, meaning, or function of a unit in a conventionally understood whole. From the functional as well as from the pragmatic-communicative point, the basic principles of constructive grammar are relevant to the discovery of the conventional language abilities of the native speaker based on general cognitive processes and communication goals.
