A '''language construct''' is a [[syntax|syntactically]] allowable part of a [[Computer program|program]] that may be formed from one or more [[lexical token]]s in accordance with the rules of a [[programming language]]. In simpler terms, it is the syntax/way a programming language is written.

The term "language construct" is often used as a synonym for [[Control flow|control structure]], and should not be confused with a [[Subroutine|function]].{{clarify|so what's the difference? is a construct something that can be recognized by a recognizer finite-state machine?|date=January 2017}}
