The Evolutionary Emergence of Language
I started to read this textbook as an introduction to current work in syntactic theory by Chomsky known as the Minimalist Program. I have tried the author Andrew Radford before (I have read most of his books on syntactic theory starting with his 1981's Transformational Syntax: A Student's Guide to Chomsky's Extended Standard Theory- which is not enlisted here in Goodreads), and I like his way, it helps me especially as I have to read on my own without any help from an instructor.
