In syntactic analysis, as in linguistics generally, the skills required to first identify, and then make sense of, complex patterns in linguistic data involve a certain specific kind of reasoning, where various alternatives are entertained and modified in light of progressively broader empirical coverage. Rather than focus on transmitting the details of complex theoretical superstructures, this textbook takes a practical, analytical approach, starting from a small set of powerful analytic tools, applied first to simple phenomena and then to the passive, complement and raising/control constructions. The analytic tools are then applied to unbounded dependencies, via detailed argumentation. What emerges is that syntactic structure, and intricate networks of dependencies linking different parts of those structures, are straightforward projections of lexical valence, in tandem with very general rules regulating the sharing of feature values. Featuring integrated exercises and problems throughout each chapter, this book equips students with the analytical tools for recognizing and assessing linguistic patterns.

De Amerikaanse sociaal psycholoog Robert Levine onderzoekt in dit boek hoe mensen over heel de wereld omgaan met tijd. In Brazilië of in Japan hebben de meeste mensen bijvoorbeeld een heel andere kijk op tijd dan in de Verenigde Staten. Via onderzoek naar de loopsnelheid van voetgangers, wachttijden in postkantoren en de nauwkeurigheid van publieke klokken kon Levine ook landen vergelijken: waar leeft men sneller, en waar is het tempo trager? Het boek geeft ook praktische tips die helpen bij het omgaan met cultuurverschillen rond tijd.

A look behind the curtain of shilling and pitch to see how we are manipulated everyday. Robert Levine offers readers an incisive new take on the mindsets of those who prod, praise, debase, and manipulate others to do things they never thought they'd do and are sometimes later sorry they did. He takes a hands-on approach by attending training sessions for magicians honing their craft and by taking jobs as a door-to-door salesman and a used car salesman.
