Syntactic Theory by Robert Borsley

An introduction to a body of ideas that have been central to syntax. It considers how they have been developed in two broad frameworks: government binding theory and phrase structure grammar. This second edition is updated in the light of developments in syntax theory.

Borsley has given us a new kind of book: one that combines the best features of other introductory texts on syntax with serious discussion of alternatives to transformational grammarMaybe we can at last hope for a generation of linguists trained to live in the real world of many theories.
Richard Hudson, Professor of Linguistics, Universi
