[ED: Hardcover], [PU: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC], '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".' Richard A. Hudson, Emeritus Professor, University College London, UK This comprehensive introduction presents the basic goals and tools of syntactic analysis. The conceptual framework is theory-neutral, presenting a scientific introduction to the field. The chapters in the first half of the book present a detailed introduction to synchronic description. The second half of the book examines variation and change, syntactic typology, and language acquisition, and possible explanations from structural, evolutionary and functional perspectives. The book includes student-friendly features, such as chapter summaries, suggestions for further reading, exercises, and a glossary of terms.
