This work introduces general readers and scholars from other disciplines who wish to learn linguistic methodology to do linguistic analysis of sentences and phrases within a Government and Binding framework. The issues discussed are nonetheless fundamental to all modern theories of syntax, and prepare readers to read articles written in a diversity of theories. Each chapter concludes with a brief summary of the picture of the theory developed thus far, and the multiple problem sets cover English, Japanese, and Romance Languages. Comprehensive but accessible, Syntax: Theory and Problems ennables readers to approach linguistic literature framed in all the modern theories today, and to approach the issues discussed in that literature with an open mind.
