Abstract:
Modular grammar postulates several autonomous generative systems interacting
with one another as opposed to the prevailing theory of transformational
grammar where there is a single generative component – the syntax – from which
other representations are derived. In this book Jerrold Sadock develops his
influential theory of grammar, formalizing several generative modules that
independently characterize the levels of syntax, semantics, role structure,
morphology and linear order, as well as an interface system that connects
them. Multi-modular grammar provides simpler, more intuitive analyses of
grammatical phenomena and allows for greater empirical coverage than
prevailing styles of grammar. The book illustrates this with a wide-ranging
analysis of English grammatical phenomena, including raising, control,
passive, inversion, do-support, auxiliary verbs and ellipsis. The modules are
simple enough to be cast as phrase structure grammars and are presented in
sufficient detail to make descriptions of grammatical phenomena more explicit
than the approximate accounts offered in other studies.
