Synopsis

Surface structure provides a complete and up-to-date exposition of a major variant of the chomskian theory of language: the so-called reed extended standard theory. Robert fiengo presents the theory in a clear and succinct way and shows how many of the leading ideas in the theory can be deepened and strengthened. It is fiengo・ ・s central thesis that there is a syntactic level surface structure which constitutes the interface between syntactic, lexical, morphological and semantic components of the grammar. This thesis is defended across a broad range of problems in english grammar, resulting in a significant increase in the empirical coverage of the theory. Although not a polemical work, fiengo・ ・s book addresses many of the current controversies in linguistics and presents a rationale for guiding choices among coming theories. At a time when linguistic theories appear to be diverging in an explosive fashion, this lucid and current discussion is precisely what is needed.
