Description

Simpler Syntax (Oxford Linguistics) provides a new perspective on the structure of human language. This book addresses the fundamental balance between syntax and semantics, structure and derivation, and rule systems and lexicon. It challenges the balance found in mainstream generative grammar by proposing a new basis for syntactic theory. Drawing on a wide range of frameworks, the text charts new directions for linguistic research. It examines how theories of syntactic structure have become more abstract and how syntactic derivations have evolved over the past four decades. This work is essential for those studying the relationship between linguistic rules and the lexicon.
