In semiotics, syntagmatic analysis is analysis of syntax or surface structure (syntagmatic structure) as opposed to paradigms (paradigmatic analysis). This is often achieved using commutation tests [1].

syntagmatic means one element sellects the other element either to preced it or to follow it.For example, articale "THE" selects Noun and not a verb.
