The process of ICA can vary based on the underlying syntactic framework being employed. In phrase structure grammars (or constituency grammars), the analysis is based on the idea that the fundamental units of syntax are phrases, and these phrases combine in a hierarchical way to form sentences.
Syntactic Structures is an important work in linguistics by American linguist Noam Chomsky, originally published in 1957.A short monograph of about a hundred pages, it is recognized as one of the most significant and influential linguistic studies of the 20th century.

London: Longman.
The following is a sample of grammars falling under the model-theoretic umbrella: the non-procedural variant of Transformational grammar (TG) of George Lakoff, that formulates constraints on potential tree sequences [4]
The "X" in the X-bar theory is equivalent to a variable in mathematics: It can be substituted by syntactic categories such as N, V, A, and P.These categories are lexemes and not phrases: The "X-bar" is a grammatical unit larger than X, thus than a lexeme, and the X-double-bar (=XP) outsizes the X(-single)-bar.
This test is widely used to probe the structure of strings containing verbs (because do is a verb). [8] The test is limited in its applicability, though, precisely because it is only applicable to strings containing verbs: Drunks could put off the customers. (a) Drunks could do so. (do so = put off the customers) (b) Drunks do so.
In linguistics, syntax (/ ˈ s ɪ n t æ k s / SIN-taks) [1] [2] is the study of how words and morphemes combine to form larger units such as phrases and sentences.Central concerns of syntax include word order, grammatical relations, hierarchical sentence structure (constituency), [3] agreement, the nature of crosslinguistic variation, and the relationship between form and meaning ().
Thus, grammars that employ phrase structure rules are constituency grammars (= phrase structure grammars), as opposed to dependency grammars, [4] which view sentence structure as dependency-based. What this means is that for phrase structure rules to be applicable at all, one has to pursue a constituency-based understanding of sentence structure.
