Binding: Paperback
Description: Syntax: Basic Concepts and Applications provides a systematic introduction to core topics in syntax focusing on how the basic concepts apply in the analysis of sentences. Assuming no background in linguistic analysis the book gives students a working knowledge of syntactic analysis from a minimalist perspective. Step by step it explains the fundamentals of phrase structure movement and deletion. Well - placed exercises throughout reinforce and extend the concepts and analyses presented in the text allowing readers to gain understanding of progressively complex issues at a comfortable pace. Much of the data comes from English but crucial examples are also drawn from a range of other languages including Russian Chinese Japanese French Italian Spanish Irish Welsh and Greek.
