Abstract:

This volume appears now finally in English, sixty years after the death of its
author, Lucien Tesnière. It has been translated from the French original into
German, Spanish, Italian, and Russian, and now at long last into English as
well. The volume contains a comprehensive approach to the syntax of natural
languages, an approach that is foundational for an entire stream in the modern
study of syntax and grammar. This stream is known today as dependency grammar
(DG). Drawing examples from dozens of languages, many of which he was
proficient in, Tesnière presents insightful analyses of numerous phenomena of
syntax. Among the highlights are the concepts of valency and head-initial vs.
head-final languages. These concepts are now taken for granted by most modern
theories of syntax, even by phrase structure grammars, which represent, in a
sense, the opposite sort of approach to syntax from what Tesnière was
advocating.
