Description

Beginning Syntax: An Introduction to Syntactic Analysis is a comprehensive textbook that introduces students to the theory of generative syntax from the very beginning. Assuming no prior knowledge, it systematically covers key concepts such as native-speaker knowledge, categories and constituents, phrase structure, movement, binding, and more.

The book builds its theory step by step, showing how different versions of generative theory relate to one another. Carefully chosen examples are used to illustrate complex ideas, with a comprehensive glossary providing clear definitions of key terms. To support further learning, the book includes end-of-chapter exercises, discussion questions, and annotated reading lists.

Ideal for instructors and beginning undergraduate students of syntax alike, Beginning Syntax is accompanied by two further textbooks in the series: Continuing Syntax and Comparing Syntax. This textbook provides a solid foundation for understanding generative syntax, making it an essential resource for anyone looking to explore this important area of linguistics.
