Description :

This book is intended primarily for undergraduate students
of English, though it will also be useful for
undergraduates in linguistics focusing on English. It shows
how a restricted set of principles can account for a wide
range of the phenomena of English syntax.

While the main focus of the book is empirical, it
introduces important theoretical concepts: theta theory, X-
bar theory, case theory, locality, binding theory, economy,
full interpretation, functional projections. In doing so it
prepares the student for more advanced theoretical work.
The authors integrate many recent insights into the nature
of syntactic structure into their discussion. They present
information in a gradual way: hypotheses developed in early
chapters are reviewed and modified in subsequent ones. The
authors also pay attention to the relation between
structure and interpretation and to language variation, and
particularly to register variation. They include a wide
range of diverse exercises, giving the student an
opportunity for creative individual work on English.
