Description
This practical coursebook introduces all the basics of modern syntactic analysis in a simple step-by-step fashion. You'll discover new ideas, formulate hypotheses and practice fundamentals through short sections of explanation with examples, followed by practice exercises.
Feedback and comment sections are included to help you monitor your progress as you move through the key topics in syntax, including features, rules of combination and displacement, empty categories, and subcategorization. A unique theoretical perspective draws together the best ideas from three major syntactic frameworks, Minimalism, HPSG, and LFG.
This book is ideal for those looking to learn fundamentals in syntax, with no prior background assumed. You'll be able to easily pursue further study in any of these frameworks once you've completed this coursebook.
