Summary/Abstract: The concern for the quality of the language in Galician is a subject that took a certain role in the academic discussion of the present epoch. However, the people who starred in the literary, political and cultural revival of the nineteenth century and the early years of the following century already noticed the importance of the use of a linguistic variety worthy, clean of unnecessary españolismos and based in its own millenary tradition. Among all the grammatical disciplines, one of the most notable aspects was the relevance of syntax for a good expression in the Galician language. In this regard, the objective of this work is to see how syntax was contemplated in the framework of a quality linguistic model. To do this, we use the word Sociosyntax, first of all, by the sociological or sociolinguistic content that implies; and,secondly, by the strictly grammatical content of comments madein the Rexurdimento and in the early years of the twentieth century.
