Synopsis

Many introductory textbooks on syntax either concentrate on formal models or the syntactic structures of English alone. This introduction, now in its second edition, is distinctive in explaining basic concepts and their application to language work of any kind. Written to aid both student and teacher, it covers a range of topics, drawing on languages other than English. Chapters are supplemented with exercises and essay material is also provided. For this edition, several chapters have been revised or rewritten and additional chapter-end exercises provided. The book is designed for any student who requires a basic grounding in the subject, whether for the study of English, foreign languages, EFL, speech pathology, or on communication courses. It should also be useful reading for those undertaking advanced work in syntax.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The second edition of this invaluable introductory text takes account of developments in syntactic studies. Dealing with the whole range of syntax, this book explains, in a lucid and approachable way, why linguists have adopted certain solutions to problems and not others.
This book introduces the basic concepts used in the description of syntax, independently of any single model of grammar. Profusely illustrated with diagrams, there are sets of exercises for every chapter which can be used in class or by students working independently.
