Beskrivning

This comprehensive introduction to syntax explains the basic concepts of syntax, and how the structures which are in place for describing the world can also be applied to a description of language structure. Edith Moravcsik presents a detailed introduction to syntactic description, including linear order, selection, categories, meaning, sound form, variation and change. The final selection provides a summary which looks at how we can explain syntax. The book includes student-friendly features, such as chapter summaries, suggestions for further reading, exercises, and a glossary of terms.

Unlike most syntax textbooks, this one approaches the technicalities via a broad consideration of explanation illustrated from everyday life. The discussion presents the view of a leading scholar in the field, whose enthusiasm, wisdom and open-mindedness show through on every page. It draws from a wide range of languages and culminates in a splendid chapter about the ultimate explanatory force for syntax: function.
