Review # 1 was written on 2017-07-12 00:00:00 Eric Meade A really easy 2 understand book on the most important aspects of syntax written 2 help us explore the structure of English. Unlike many other books on this and similar topics in linguistics, the language is clear and not larded up with technical jargon. Written in an approachable style & avoiding structural complexity, it`s not historistics or comparative in orientation, thus does not presuppose knowledge of earlier or alternative models of grammar… The book includes 10 chapters about basic elements of syntax like grammar, words, structure, null constituents, head movement, wh-movement, a-movement, split projections, phases, agreement, case & movement. Also it containes an extensive glossary that provides simple illustrations of how key terms r used. The only thing that prevents me from giving it 5 stars is that the book contains numerous refrences 2, highly technical, primary research works & its exercises r designed in such a way that they cannot be tackled on the basis of the course book material alone! Other than that, this is a great book that changed how I view my dabbling in subjects. |
Review # 2 was written on 2016-07-02 00:00:00 Teresa Fajardo 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. |
