| Description: |
* Distils a very successful graduate course in syntax from two prominent figures in the field, covering analyses from a range of theoretical frameworks. |
| Synopsis: |
The Grammar of Raising and Control surveys analyses across a range of theoretical frameworks from Rosenbaum's classic Standard Theory analysis (1967) to current proposals within the Minimalist Program, and provides readers with a critical understanding of these, helping them in the process to develop keen insights into the strengths and weaknesses of syntactic arguments in general. * Distills a very successful graduate course in syntax from two prominent figures in the field, covering analyses from a range of theoretical frameworks. * Provides readers with an understanding of the various perspectives represented in generative syntax, using a particular class of grammatical constructions as a means of examining the evolution of syntactic theory over the last thirty years. * Helps students to develop keen insights into the strengths and weaknesses of syntactic arguments. * Includes excerpts from six important works that allow students to familiarize themselves with the original literature while also providing discussion of the theoretical context in which they were written. |
