Description

Andrew Carnie's Syntax: A Generative Introduction is the leading textbook on theoretical syntax, providing a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the rules and principles that determine sentence structure in language. This fourth edition features an all-new chapter and additional problem sets, as well as revised material throughout.

The text covers a range of topics including phrase structure, binding theory, case theory, movement, and more, with numerous exercises and pedagogical features designed to strengthen comprehension and review learning objectives. A new section on Chomsky's Merge adds breadth and depth to the subject matter.

For students looking to practice their skills and concepts, an optional companion workbook has been thoroughly revised and expanded, offering additional opportunities for practice and review.
