Riassunto

An Introduction to Syntactic Analysis and Theory offers beginning students a comprehensive overview of and introduction to our current understanding of the rules and principles that govern the syntax of natural languages.

• Includes numerous pedagogical features such as 'practice' boxes and sidebars, designed to facilitate understanding of both the 'hows' and the 'whys' of sentence structure
• Guides readers through syntactic and morphological structures in a progressive manner
• Takes the mystery out of one of the most crucial aspects of the workings of language – the principles and processes behind the structure of sentences
• Ideal for students with minimal knowledge of current syntactic research, it progresses in theoretical difficulty from basic ideas and theories to more complex and advanced, up to date concepts in syntactic theory

Dalla quarta di copertina

Over the past several decades, our knowledge of language and sentence structure has increased at a pace unparalleled in the history of linguistics. An Introduction to Syntactic Theory and Analysis provides a general introduction to our current understanding of the rules and principles that govern the syntax of natural languages.

Accessible to those with minimal knowledge of current syntactic research, it guides readers through syntactic and morphological structures in a progressive manner. To facilitate comprehension of basic principles and theories, useful ‘Practice’ boxes are included throughout the text, with more advanced concepts in syntactic theory also highlighted throughout. Comprehensive and authoritative, thisintroduction to syntactic theory takes the mystery out of one of the most crucial aspects of the workings of language – the principles and processes behind the structure of sentences.
