Description

Explore the foundational theory of complementation in English syntax with this classic Routledge Library edition, originally published in 1979. This scholarly work examines the critical role of complementizers in English syntax and challenges traditional transformational grammar approaches. The author argues that complementizers must be specified in deep structure through Phrase Structure rules rather than treated through familiar transformational methods, offering readers a rigorous alternative framework for understanding syntactic theory. Ideal for students of linguistics, language theory, and grammatical structure, this book provides essential insights into how complementation functions within English language systems and its broader implications for syntactic analysis and theoretical linguistics.
