Description
This introduction to the structure of sentences in human languages provides a clear and accessible overview of syntactic theory. Assuming no prior knowledge of linguistic theory and little of elementary grammar, it is ideal for students new to the subject or those looking to build a sound foundation.
David Adger explains how sentences work by exploring the relationships between words and phrases that affect both phonological form and meaning. The book draws on key ideas from Noam Chomsky's Minimalist Programme, providing a concise and well-supported introduction to the field.
With clear explanations, examples, and diagrams, this book offers a valuable resource for those looking to understand the intricacies of human language. It is suitable for use in courses or as a self-tuition tool, making it an excellent choice for anyone seeking a solid understanding of syntactic theory.
