In Linguistics, branching is the general tendency towards a given order of Words within sentences and smaller grammatical units within sentences (such as e. heads are often found at the end of their phrases, with a resulting tendency to have the adjectives before nouns, to place adpositions as postpositions after the noun phrases they govern, to put relative clauses before their referents, and to place auxiliary verbs after the action verb. In linguistics the head is the word that determines the syntactic type of the Phrase of which it is a member or analogously the stem that determines the In Grammar, a phrase is a group of Words that functions as a single unit in the Syntax of a sentence.
