Description
Syntactic Theory provides a clear and practical introduction to the subject, guiding students through essential topics such as X'-Theory, Transformations, and elementary Binding Theory. As they progress, they will cover more advanced issues like Reconstruction, the light verb vP, and control as movement.
This updated second edition features new material on the Minimalist Program and Government-Binding Theory, expanded chapters on Phrase Structure and Functional Categories, and a wealth of new tree diagrams to support learning. The liberal use of in-text exercises engages the reader at every stage of theory-development, while an 'Open Issue' at the end of each chapter encourages active participation.
With its engaging style and informal approach, Syntactic Theory makes even the most difficult topics accessible to a wide range of students. Now fully updated, this edition provides a solid foundation for understanding theory building and evaluation through Government-Binding Theory.
