Summary: "This authoritative introduction explores the main non-transformational syntactic frameworks: Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar, Lexical-Functional Grammar, Categorial Grammar, and Simpler Syntax. Chapters by linguists who have developed and shaped those theories illustrate the central properties of these four frameworks and how they handle some of the main phenomena of syntax. Non-Transformational Syntax also explores a range of issues that arise in connection with these contemporary approaches, including questions about processing and acquisition. The chapters cover elementary principles and more advanced issues surrounding Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar, the functional structure and interactions between morphology and syntax of Lexical-Functional Grammar, combinatory Categorial Grammar, and alternative minimalist visions of language. By shedding new light on alternate approaches to the phenomena of syntax, Non-Transformational Syntax represents an important contribution to the study of formal linguistics"-- Provided by publisher.
