Constituent Structure

Zusatztext Overall, this book provides the researchers and students in syntax, morphology and related aspects of grammar a vital source of information. It is an excellent reference book not only for the variety of issues and various up-to-date approaches it covers, but also for its way of presentation. Informationen zum Autor Andrew Carnie is Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of Arizona. His 1995 dissertation proposed that the traditional distinction between phrases and words is derived and falls out from the interfaces of the syntax with the morphological and semantic components. His publications include the successful textbook Syntax: A Generative Introduction (Blackwell, 2002) and, as co-editor, The Syntax of VSO Languages (OUP, 2002), FormalApproaches to Function (Benjamins, 2003), and Verb First (Benjamins, 2005), as well as articles in theoretical syntax in such journals as Syntax, Journal of Celtic Linguistics, Studia Linguistica, Journal of Linguistics,and Canadian Journal of Linguistics.

Klappentext This book explores the empirical and theoretical aspects of constituent structure in natural language syntax, critically examining the strengths and limitations of different approaches.
