Abstract:

A coherent introduction to generative syntax by a leader in the field,
this textbook leads students through the theory from the very
beginning, assuming no prior knowledge. Introducing the central
concepts in a systematic and engaging way, it covers the goals of
generative grammar, tacit native-speaker knowledge, categories and
constituents, phrase structure, movement, binding, syntax beyond
English, and the architecture of grammar. The theory is built slowly,
showing in a step-by-step fashion how different versions of generative
theory relate to one-another. Examples are carefully chosen to be
easily understood, and a comprehensive glossary provides clear
definitions of all the key terms introduced. With end of chapter
exercises, broader discussion questions, and annotated further reading
lists, 'Beginning Syntax' is the ideal resource for instructors and
beginning undergraduate students of syntax alike. Two further
textbooks by Ian Roberts, 'Continuing Syntax' and 'Comparing Syntax',
will take students to intermediate and advanced level.
