*Available Now!*
*English Syntax: An
Introduction*<http://cslipublications.stanford.edu/site/1575865688.html>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

Any questions or comments can be forwarded either to the CSLI pubications or
to the authors (jongbokkim at gmail.com or psells at gmail.com).
