Abstract
The important role of language in transferring and retrieving information cannot be examined independently of its syntax and semantic. Explaining and describing the researches of this field from quantitative and qualitative dimensions and understanding the tendencies of researchers can be an important step in understanding the importance of syntax and semantic in communication structures in modern information search and retrieval environments. Based on this, in this descriptive-analytical study, with the aim of qualitative and quantitative analysis, studies in the field of syntax and semantic have been conducted in information retrieval. In order to conduct this research, Aviard's systematic review method was used.
The analysis of studies in this field showed that these studies focus on the three main axes of syntax and semantic in relation to information organization, information retrieval, information search.
Overall, the analysis of the selected studies shows that addressing the discussion of syntax and semantic in relation to the organization of information, as well as explaining, analyzing the theoretical aspects of syntax and semantic in information retrieval is one of the things that requires more research, especially interdisciplinary studies. Researchers have the fields of linguistics, information science, and computer science. The results also can have guidelines for specialists in various fields who somehow deal with storing and retrieving information. In addition to, the identified axes and the methods and approaches used and the identified research gaps open the way for researchers to conduct future studies
