X-bar Theory

X-Bar Theory is a syntactic framework within generative grammar that posits a universal hierarchic structure for phrasal categories, specifying that each phrase is headed by a lexical item and systematically organized into intermediate (X') and maximal (XP) projections to account for constituency and modification patterns across languages.
