An Introduction to Syntactic Analysis and Theory, (Hardcover)

?Three outstanding linguists have combined forces to give us an exceptionally clear step-by-step empirically rich and exercise-rich introduction to the question of how to scientifically study human language morphology and syntax.' Richard S. Kayne, New York University "This is the most thorough and sophisticated introduction to syntax and morphology that I have seen. The authors present the most solid results of the research of the last fifty years, as well as the arguments and the scientific methodology that have been instrumental in achieving them: a unique feature of this introduction, which brings the reader to a very deep level of understanding without assuming any prior knowledge." Guglielmo Cinque, Ca' Foscari University ?This terrific textbook presents in depth analyses of linguistic phenomena accompanied by wonderfully crafted problem sets and very useful conceptual comments on the connection between the study of language and other areas of scientific inquiry.' Danny Fox, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
