Abstract:

The Grammar of Raising and Control surveys analyses across a range of 
theoretical frameworks from Rosenbaum's classic Standard Theory
analysis (1967) to current proposals within the Minimalist Program,
and provides readers with a critical understanding of these, helping
them in the process to develop keen insights into the strengths and
weaknesses of syntactic arguments in general.

- Distils a very successful graduate course in syntax from two
prominent figures in the field, covering analyses from a range of
theoretical frameworks.

- Provides readers with an understanding of the various perspectives
represented in generative syntax, using a particular class of
grammatical constructions as a means of examining the evolution of
syntactic theory over the last thirty years.

- Helps students to develop keen insights into the strengths and
weaknesses of syntactic arguments.

- Includes excerpts from six important works that allow students to
familiarize themselves with the original literature while also
providing discussion of the theoretical context in which they were
written.
