Abstract:

Using a concise and clear style, this book highlights insights from current
syntactic theory and minimalism. Chapter 1 starts with the general idea behind
generative grammar and should be read from a big picture perspective. Because
the book expects no prior syntactic background, its next two chapters are on
lexical and grammatical categories and on basic phrase structure rules. After
these introductory chapters, the book covers the clausal spine, the VP, TP,
and CP in Chapters 4, 5, and 6, respectively. For the VP, it emphasizes
lexical aspect, theta-roles, and the VP-shell; for the TP and CP, it uses a
cartographic approach and juxtaposes that to free adjunction. Chapter 7 covers
the DP and Chapter 8 discusses the importance of features. Chapter 9 returns
to some of the issues raised in Chapter 1 and summarizes the approach. It
includes keywords, frequent summaries, exercises, and suggested answers to the
exercises. Cartoons and frequent corpus examples enliven the text.
