(Ancient Greek military historical, very rare) A square formation of 256 soldiers arranged into sixteen files, sixteen ranks deep, led by a syntagmatarch; a syntagma.
“In linguistics, a paradigm is a set of systematically alternating items. A paradigm is complementary to a syntagm, which is a set of items used in systematic combination.”
“The former occur between words appearing simultaneously in the same syntagm.”
“Therefore, fundamental here are the concepts of syntagm and of paradigm.”
“The tone, mood, fast-paced interjections, and witty syntagms of the 1940s vernacular are very difficult to convey in the several lines of subtitled translation.”
“In addition, notes of the missing syntagms have to be made, and schemes of the structure and movement of the text have to be drawn, making the piece difficult to comprehend.”
“As such, these syntagms employ the accompanying prepositions con and su.”
