As both structure and meaning are parts of the term-group as a linguistic unit, the interdependence of these two facets is naturally the subject matter of lexicological analysis. In connection with the problem under discussion the term syntactic (or syntagmatic) structure requires some clarification. We know that term-groups may be generally described through the pattern of arrangement of the constituent members. The term syntactic structure (formula) properly speaking implies the description of the order and arrangement of member-terms as parts of speech. We may, for instance, describe the term-group as made up of an adjective and a noun (clever man, red flower, etc.), a verb - a noun (take books, build houses, etc.), or a noun, a preposition and a noun (a touch of colour, a matter of importance, etc.). The syntactic structure (formula) of the nominal groups clever man and red flower may be represented as A + N, that of the verbal groups take books and build houses as V + N, and so on.
