Abstract

yntactic theory is central to the study of language. This innovative book introduces the ideas which underlie most approaches to syntax and shows how they have been developed within two broad frameworks: principles and parameters theory and phrase structure grammar. While other texts either concentrate on one theory or treat them as totally separate, here both approaches are introduced together, highlighting the similarities as well as the differences. Thoroughly updated in the light of major recent developments, this second edition includes expanded explanations of the main characteristics of the two theories, summaries of the main features, exercises reinforcing key points and suggestions for further investigation.

Abstract

To paraphrase, of the making of syntactic categories there is no end. For any theory of syntax, questions arise about its classificatory scheme: what are the categories? What properties do they have? How do they relate to each other? Eleven essays address these questions by inquiring whether there is a clear distinction between lexical and functional categories, how syntactic categories relate to semantic categories, the relation between syntactic and morphological information, as well as other inquiries. Above all the essays highlight the centrality of questions about syntactic categories for a number of different theoretical frameworks. It discusses a broad range of questions about syntactic categories and presents a number of theoretical frameworks.

Abstract

Das Buch führt in die beiden wichtigsten Versionen der Syntax-Theorie des letzten Jahrzehnts ein, in die Government and Binding Theory der generativen Grammatik Chromskyscher Prägung und in die moderne Phrasen-Struktur-Grammatik, namentlich in die Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar und die Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar. Es ist so angelegt, daß nach einer Reihe von Kapiteln, die in syntaktische Grundprobleme einführen, über die in der Linguistik weitgehende Übereinstimmung herrscht, in den anschließenden Kapiteln verschiedene Phänomenbereiche vorgeführt werden, die in den beiden genannten Hauptrichtungen der Syntax-Theorie je unterscheidlich analysiert werden. Im einzelnen werden folgende Komplexe behandelt: (1) Einleitung, (2) Konstituentenstrukturen, (3) syntaktische Regeln, (4) syntaktische Kategorien, (5) Köpfe und Komplemente, (6) Subjekte und Prädikate, (7) nichtkanonische Komplemente und Subjekte, (8) grammatische Funktionen, (9) Passivkonstruktionen, (10) Hebungskonstruktionen, (11) Kontrolle, (12) Wh-Abhängigkeiten, (13) Inselbeschränkungen und (14) ein abschließender Vergleich der beiden Syntax-Theorien. Das Buch umfaßt ferner ein Literaturverzeichnis, ein Glossar mit der Erklärung wichtiger Begriffe und ein Stichwortregister. Die deutsche Version des Buchs - die Originalausgabe erschien 1991 bei Edward Arnold unter dem Titel "Syntactic Theory. A unified approach" - ist wesentlich umfangreicher als die englische Version, da sie die verschiedenen syntax-theoretischen Probleme nicht nur anhand des Englischen, sondern auch anhand des Deutschen erörtert. Dadurch ergeben sich für die Leser interessante Möglichkeiten des Vergleichs zwischen den Struktureigenschaften beider Sprachen. Darüberhinaus wird deutlich, daß die unterschiedlichen Struktureigenschaften beider Sprachen partiell differenzierte theoretische Zugänge erfordern.

Abstract

"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"--

Abstract

This 1996 volume brings together ten chapters on the Celtic languages using the insights of principles-and-parameters theory. The leading researchers in the field examine Welsh, Irish, Breton and Scots Gaelic in comparative perspective, making reference to recent work on English, French, Arabic, German and other languages. The editors have provided a substantial introduction which seeks to make the volume accessible to theoreticians unfamiliar with the Celtic languages and also to Celtic specialists who are less familiar with the theoretical framework underpinning the work. The Syntax of the Celtic Languages makes a substantial contribution both to linguistic theory and to our understanding of the Celtic languages.
