&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;'''Syntactization''' is the process by which pragmatic principles are turned into grammatical/syntactic structures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Givón (1979: 208) distinguishes between the following four types of syntactization:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
# Diachronic: Loose [[parataxis]] --&amp;gt; Tight syntax&lt;br /&gt;
# Ontogenetic: Early pragmatic mode --&amp;gt; Later syntactic mode&lt;br /&gt;
# Pidgin-Creoles: Nongrammar --&amp;gt; Grammar&lt;br /&gt;
# Register level: Unplanned-informal speech --&amp;gt; Planned-formal speech&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to Givón (ibid.) all of those four domains have in common that &amp;quot;loose, paratactic, 'pragmatic' discourse structures&amp;quot; are turned &amp;quot;into tight, 'grammaticalized' syntactic structures&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Examples===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Diachronic syntactization can be witnessed e.g. when (discourse) topics turn into (grammatical) subjects in a language.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the development from a [[pidgin]] to a [[creole language]] the change from massive word-order variation between the individual speakers of a pidgin to a more predictable word-order of the creole language-community has been reported.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Origin===&lt;br /&gt;
The term was coined by [[T. Givón]], and apparently first used in Givón 1979.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
