The following new textbook is now available from the CSLI Publications:

http://cslipublications.stanford.edu/site/1575865688.html


Available Now!
English Syntax: An Introduction by Jong-Bok Kim and Peter Sells.

Focusing on the descriptive facts of English, this textbook provides a 
systematic introduction to English syntax for students with no prior 
knowledge of English grammar or syntactic analysis.

English Syntax helps students appreciate the various sentence patterns 
available in the language, understand insights into the core data of its 
syntax, develop analytic abilities to explore patterns of English in 
more depth, and learn precise ways of formalizing syntactic analysis. 
The text and exercises cover a variety of English data and major 
constructions such as agreement, raising and control, the auxiliary 
system, passive, questions, relative clauses, extraposition, and clefts.


Jong-Bok Kim is Associate Professor in the School of English at Kyung 
Hee University, Seoul, Korea.
Peter Sells is Professor of Linguistics at the School of Oriental and 
African Studies, University of London.

"This book is an excellent text that takes nothing for granted. Even the 
complete novice can use this book to gain familiarity with some of the 
most subtle and interesting problems of English syntax."
—Ivan A. Sag, Stanford University

"This is a valuable introductory syntax volume, which strikes a nice 
balance between data and theory, and leads the student from the most 
basic notions of syntax to an understanding of analyses of a broad range 
of English constructions within the HPSG framework."
—Robert D.  Borsley, University of Essex
